It now includes WALL-E. Vote for what you consider Pixar's best movie.

I really enjoyed the look of Wall-E - thought it was breathtaking - the love story was involving, but the environmental/space parts had a few too many holes and left a few too many questions for me to rank it as high as I'd like to.

Finding Nemo is what I voted for - I've really come to like this film over the last few viewings. The only one I haven't seen is A Bug's Life so I don't know how to rank that one yet. I haven't disliked any Pixar film yet although I'd say Cars and Ratatouille are probably my least favorites (not that that's a bad thing when you're talking Pixar movies).

It's way too hard to choose. It's between Toy Story, Wall-E, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles for me.

Toy Story 6/10
A Bugs Life 5/10
Toy Story 2 8/10
Monsters Inc 6/10
Finding Nemo 7/10
The Incredibles 9/10
Cars 5/10
Ratatouille 8/10
WALL-E haven't seen

Dammit, still have to wait for Wall*E on this one

Ratatouille for me. The visuals on that were just "wow". And the story had something for everyone. If it wasn't for the Best Animated category, I feel like it might have gotten a Best Picture nod.

Not a big Pixar fan, eh?

I have seen all but Wall-E at the present time.

But it is a tie for me between The Incredibles and Ratatouille and for different reasons.

The Incredibles really had the super hero stuff down and the voice acting brings all of that together. The visuals are striking as well. Being a major comic book fan, this one caters to that and I loved it for it.

Ratatouille on the other hand, has the visuals and a great story. But what sets this one apart from The Incredibles is there is so much heart and a great message behind it, I really felt for the characters. By the time the film had ended, I had this huge ear to ear smile on my face, like I was a little kid again. I can't think of any other film that has done that to me.

But since I have to make a pick I go for Ratatouille.

my list:

the incredibles
wall*e
toy story 2
monsters, inc.
toy story
finding nemo
ratatouille
cars
a bugs life

I would assume that's in descending order

mine:

Ratatouille
The Incredibles
Toy Story 2
Monsters, Inc.
Wall*e
Finding Nemo
Toy Story
A Bugs Life
Cars

I'm surprised so many votes go for The Incredibles....that's just me though :P

Finding Nemo, for me it's not even close.

I dunno, a 3 out of 5 is generally accepted as a recommendation, so I'd be for just about all of them except Cars and A Bug's Life. Pixar stories and characters (a majority of them at least) just tend to be a tad too cookie cutter for me, bordering on generic. Nemo got by with some incredible visuals.

The movies are undeniably well made from a technical standpoint, though.

I agree, I enjoyed A Bugs Life at the time, but it's one of the few Pixar films I just can't get into seeing multiple times. I thought the voice work on both, were highly distracting... and Cars - phhhht, way too juvenile for my taste.

Wall*E

The Incredibles is one of the worst. That sounds a lot more harsh than it is though.

That is close to mine...the Toy Story's switch places though.

Also I want to make a note that not matter how my lists work, even the worse Pixar is still better than 90% of similar films. In fact all of them are at a minimum 4 stars out of 5 for me.

I can only say this once, All of Pixar's films are simply awesome. If I had to rank them the only way I could do it is say that Toy Story is my absolute favorite, Cars is my least favorite, and the rest are all still phenomenal.

The Incredibles is still tops for me. They're all great films though.

I'm surprised The Incredibles dominated this poll so easily. I personally consider it one of their weakest efforts, but to each is own.

Here's my list, although i need to re-watch The Incredibles.

Wall-E
Monster's Inc.
Toy Story
Ratatouille
Toy Story 2
Finding Nemo
A Bug's Life
The Incredibles
Cars

Had to go with Monsters, Inc. - I just love that movie.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks The Incredibles is way overrated...

Rob

Haven't see Wall-E yet but my vote is for The Incredibles...

If the poll was for my favorite Pixar I would have voted for Monsters Inc

Still The Incredibles for me too.

"WALL*E" was the first Pixar movie to actually take the next step in their storytelling and move from simple morals to addressing social concerns. The only other movie I can think of that I've seen in a theater in years where the only sound throughout most of the film was the film itself was "Fahrenheit 9/11." Any film that can keep that many kids quiet for that long has definitely done something right. As an adult, I can think more critically about the plotline and call its message "preachy," etc., but the kids may be exposed to such ideas in a way they get for the first time, and I applaud Pixar's efforts.

What some call a "next step in their storytelling," others (and I'm one of them) would call "propaganda " pure and simple.

It's one thing to "address social concerns" and quite another to rather blatantly say "that ____ is what's wrong with the world, and we need to do _____ about it."

In my book, what Pixar did with Wall•E was just this side (barely) of fear mongering, and it's one thing to aim something like it at adults and quite another when its aimed at children. Just because it's a "family film" doesn't excuse it.

The one sequence in Wall•E that clearly demonstrates Pixar's heavyhandedness is when Eve gets caught by the magnetic grapple, her escape and subsequent retaliatory shooting of the beached ship (an oil tanker?). The sequence sends a very destructive message, literally and figuratively. It appears to justify violent behavior and (in the larger context of the movie's less-than-subtle, overall "environmental message) justify extremely violent behavior towards the (perceived) cause of environmental problems. Business.

And, the entire sequence exists solely to deliver that message... because that sequence could literally be cut from the movie and have no effect on the story. It adds not one wit of characterization, nor adds any detail to the story, nor progresses the storyline.

Besides, I've yet to hear anyone give a reasonable explanation (especially since Eve's purpose is to seek and retrieve a sample of plant life to begin mankind's return to a reborn Earth) as to why Eve is loaded with enough firepower to sink a ship. Given what we're told in the story and her purpose, it makes absolutely no sense. One needs the firepower of a tank to look for and retrieve a sample of life?

Did anyone at Pixar run this idea past a NASA consultant?

hahahahahahahaha... wow. Someone has a lot of time on their hands, while I agree there is a simple message behind this movie I don't think it's anything that will brainwash anyone. Even kids. I just thought it was a fun, lively, bright, animated film. I think the strongest message from this movie was to take care of the Earth, and not in any high-profile, controversial, instigating liberal anti-conservative way.
