Especially since much of his dislike boils down to him [[BiasSteamroller simply]] disliking Creator/ChrisPratt's performance as Barley as opposed to anything to do with the film itself, with him admitting that if Pixar had gotten anyone else (aside from Creator/JamesCorden) to play as him, he would've liked the film a lot better (though he did criticize the story and characters too, finding both aspects to be undeveloped and wasted potential). Some also suggested that Schaff did not understand the familial love and grief that was the emotional core of the movie, but he countered that he actually ''did'' identify with the film and just still thought it wasn't very good, though he was glad other people connected with it more strongly.

Finally, he also surprised fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}'' when he ranked it dead last and deemed it not just the worst Disney film he'd ever watched but the most boring film he'd ever watched in his entire life. For this one, he actually invited people to challenge him by calling for videos defending it, and he promoted several of these on his channel.

While this was true to ''some'' extent, the video ended up receiving more backlash due to ''Film/{{Ready Player One|2018}}'' being ranked fourth-to-last at #31. Most of the aspects of the movie that James found to be {{Narm}} are rather beloved aspects by fans, which ended up not sitting well with them when James proceeded to list them out in a rather satirical manner. He also got some backlash for tearing ''Film/NineteenFortyOne'' to shreds and calling it a boringly unfunny and ham-fisted farce before placing it in the second-worst slot, as while the film is by no means regarded as one of Spielberg's masterpieces it is a CultClassic with a dedicated following which has [[VindicatedByHistory reevaluated it over the years since its initial skewering by critics]], leading fans of the film to be shocked that he would place it so low.
