>>The main complaint I would have is that you can probably graph the plot line of the movie exactly along the lines of previous Pixar movies. No matter what, they are about someone trying to find themselves. They have their setback at the same time in the movie and then the glorious endings where they find themselves after a couple of minutes of self-doubt.

True of may movies, stories, songs ...

Joseph Campbell explored "the theory that important myths from around the
world which have survived for thousands of years all share a fundamental
structure, which Campbell called the monomyth. In a well-known quote from
the introduction to The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Campbell summarized
the monomyth:

“ A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region
of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a
decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious
adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man."

If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
