Rank Brad Bird's films

Well, we're ranking Pixar's movies, why not full-length movies Brad Bird (co-)wrote and directed?



My ranking would go like this:

The Incredibles
Iron Giant
Ratatouille


By the way, does anyone have any info on 1906?

I haven't seen Ratatouille but I liked Incredibles more than Iron Giant.

I saw it when it first came out and thought Iron Giant was an OK movie. Just last year it was talked about at DVDTalk with such love (especially the Superman scene and the ending) that i rented it and convinced my kids to sit and watch it (they were 11 and 14). They were borred and I still thought it only rated an OK.

Haven't seen Ratatouille yet, but I liked The Iron Giant quite a bit more than The Incredibles. I'm probably in the minority on this one, but I really felt that The Incredibles was bloated and uneven. It certainly has its moments, but it's far from my favorite Pixar film.

Haven't seen the rat flick yet, but THE IRON GIANT is so much better that THE INCREDIBLES, they shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. For goodness sake, THE IRON GIANT is the only cartoon to ever make me cry...that's how powerful it is.

I agree on The Incredibles. I didn't think it was amazing as many felt. Plus, it really feels long at 115 minutes. Pixar's movies used to be around the 100 minute mark, but Incredibles, Cars, and Ratatouille have clocked in near the 2-hour range.

It should be very interesting to see if Brad can translate his magic into a live-action movie. If he fails, I'm still content with him being only an animation genius.

1 Ratatouille because I think the story was the most mature I've seen from a cartoon since really classic Disney
2 Iron Giant
3 The Incredibles

but all completely great

I love them all. But if I were to rank them, it would probably go like this:

1. Ratatouille
2. The Iron Giant
3. The Incredibles

Iron Giant is the tops of them all.

I would say Ratatouille then the Incredibles. The Incredibles was fun and all, but let's face it: it was just a rip on Fantastic Four. I am not knocking it, but I am giving higher points to the others for being more of fresher ideas.

The Incredibles





The Iron Giant
Rat (haven't seen it yet)

When are we going to hear about an Incredibles 2 greenlight? Talk about a movie screaming for a sequel! Come on - based on Bond movies and the Fantastic Four comic that's been running for 46 years! Everything it's based on is a franchise - this thing is just dying for a sequel.

I'd rate The Incredibles a 100/100. Perfect movie (at least for people who are fans of both James Bond movies AND superhero comic books - particularly the FF).
