Toy Story remains one of Pixar's finest. |
With the recent release of Pixar's 15th animated feature, I've attempted to rank them based on personal preference. The order changes, but here's where I'm at right now.
15. Cars 2 (2011)
The sequel we didn't ask for.
14. Monsters University (2013)
Not a bad sequel, but it's a step down from the original.
13. Cars (2006)
Pixar lite. Overall, it's pretty standard and somewhat forgettable.
12. Brave (2012)
A little uneven, but its heart is in the right place.
Thoroughly enjoyable and arguably underrated.
Feels like a slight retread of a better Toy Story sequel.
A mixed bag. At times beautiful, and others unremarkable.
8. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
One of the most heartfelt of Pixar's catalog.
7. The Incredibles (2004)
6. Wall-E (2008)
5. Toy Story 2 (1999)
4. Inside Out (2015)
3. Toy Story (1995)
2. Ratatouille (2007)
1. Finding Nemo (2003)
I love the Toy Story trilogy, a modern classic. Great to see Inside Out so high, it does seem to be grabbing people emotionally. I'll have to wait until August to finally see it.
ReplyDeleteI'll try and watch your #1 Finding Nemo this year :)
I love the first two Toy Story films, but the third one is a little step down for me. Hope you get to see Finding Nemo this year. Inside Out is great, too. Hope you like it!
DeleteYay NEMO!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hold Toy Story 3 in much higher regard than you, but I totally understand and adore your ranking.
Nemo is brilliant!!
DeleteYeah, I like Toy Story 3, but I don't love it. I get why most people adore it though.
Great post! I 100% agree with your bottom three. My top three would be WALL-E, Finding Nemo, and A Bug's Life (which you are so right in it being underrated.)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Oh, glad to see Nemo in your top 3, and I love that you have A Bug's Life so high.
DeleteGreat idea for a list Josh! I skipped the two Cars movies, and I think Brave would make it to my top 10. I'm one of the minorities who're not blown away by UP, but I do love Finding Nemo! I think Toy Story, Nemo and Wall•E might make up my Pixar top 3.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth! You never saw the Cars movies? Well, you're not exactly missing much. ;) Glad to hear you'd also place Nemo and Toy Story so high!
