Re: Favorite Pixar Film

I voted for TS2 as number one, but it was very hard not to vote for The Incredibles.

TS2 really put the WOW in me a long time ago and my heart has never let it go.

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

UP for sure. Pixar's finest so far.

CARS bored me to tears. So predictable, and I disliked that Mater and McQueen character.

However, the worst Pixar film beats crap like ICE AGE, or SHREK, or anything else which depends greatly on hip pop culture references.

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

I haven't seen Cars, Rat, or Wall-E yet, but out of the ones I have seen, probably Monsters, Inc., with The Incredibles being second.

The talking dogs keep it from being a masterpiece. Also keeps it from being near the top of my list. The first two thirds of the movie is incredible though.

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

I'm one of the very few that actually liked Cars. Probably my favorite. I found liking it so much very odd given the fact that I hate nascar and auto racing and don't like larry the cable guy.

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

I voted for Incredibles. Followed by both Toy Story movies, Monsters Inc. and Ratatouille. Didn't see UP yet. But it looks very promising.

The biggest disappointment was Wall-E. Obnoxious characters and boring storytelling. And that was the only Pixar movie I watched in a theatre.

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

I'd say my favorite is a tie between Wall-E and Ratatouille. Both really interesting and unique films. If I had to rank them, it would go like this:

1/2. Wall-E and Ratatouille tie
3. Monster's Inc.
4. Finding Nemo
5. Toy Story
6. Toy Story 2
7. Cars
8. A Bug's Life
9. The Incredibles
10. Up

What is it?

The "He did what in a cup?" line. That was very well timed.

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

I am going to go with the "tie" for top spot as well. Stand alone, Up wins number one. For the movie alone AND for sequel, Toy Story 2 also wins top spot for me as well... so...

1/2. Toy Story 2/Up
3. Ratatouille
4. Incredibles
5. Toy Story
6. Finding Nemo
7. A Bug's Life
8. Monster's Inc.
9. Cars
10. Wall-E

I feel the higher up the movie ranks for me and the lower the movies rank for me center around main thing: the ability for the director/creators to get me to feel for the characters. Toy Story 2 really hooked me with the loneliness and heartbreak of Jesse (the song sung for her character has to be the saddest freaking song in movie history) and I was hooked on Up after the montage that everybody is talking about. It made me feel for the characters and actually care what happened to them.

So the more the movies get me to care about the characters, the higher it's likely to rank on my list. That, and story telling and direction.

When I glance at the bottom 3, I realize that I just wasn't as invested in the characters in those movies as much as I was in the ones I ranked higher. I guess I never realized it until now. I just couldn't get too attached to the cars in Cars and Wall-E failed epically to get me involved in caring for the characters at all. In fact, I suspect Wall-E will just go further on down the list for me as time goes on.

I'm guessing the catchphrase of Larry the Cable Guy.


My favorite is Monster's Inc.

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

I do have to dock a few points from Toy Story 2 for starting the trend of every Disney movie having an attempted emotional montage set to a crappy country-esque song sung by Disney's teen flavor of the moment.

Sarah McLachlan was the teen flavor of the moment when Toy Story 2 came out? Sheesh, I learn something new every day. That's impressive considering she was in her 30's when that movie came out.

And what other Pixar movies do this?

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

I voted for Up, but really I could have just as easily voted for Ratatouille, Wall-E, either Toy Story, The Incredibles, or Monsters, Inc. I love them all.

A Bug's Life is ok, but not that memorable and I really disliked Cars. Owen Wilson's horrendous voice acting killed that entire movie.

I'm guessing it was when the two fangirl cars flashed their headlights at mcqueen.

My list:

1. Incredibles
2. Monsters, Inc (Boo makes this movie)
3. WALL-E (would be #1 if the third act's tone was a closer match to the rest of the film)
4. Toy Story
5. Toy Story 2 (a perfect sequel)
6. Ratatouille
7. Finding Nemo
8. Up
9. A Bug's Life
10. Cars (still liked it a LOT.)

I am disappointed Cars is getting a sequel, it is the least worthy of all, IMHO. I would love to see smart, Pixar-worthy sequels to Monsters, Inc., A Bug's Life, and the Incredibles. Those are the three worlds that seem to have the most potential to revisit with fresh stories. Also an UP prequel set in the 30s or 40s would be cool.

Re: Favorite Pixar Film

Wall-E tops my favorite Pixar movie list; it's actually near the top of my all time favorites list too
