'Hatred'? But they don't know any better. Maybe i hate their ancestors for setting them on that path but the fat blobs are innocent. The fact that they're so quick to change makes me like them. Don't hate the blobs, man.

1. The Incredibles
2. Monsters Inc
3. Wall-E
4. Cars
5. Toy Story

I could make a top 10, but it's too hard to choose. I did enjoy Cars more than I thought I would, and I didn't even watch it until my son got it on DVD a little while back. I remember thinking it'd be pure crap, but as it turns out, stock cars didn't play out as badly as I thought.

Also, The Incredibles really did it for me. I've always had a hero-fetish, so that might be the reason. I actually enjoyed "Heroes" all the way until the premature ending. Sure, it had its downs and all, but I didn't lose interest at all.

The way I created this list was by putting them in chronological order and then comparing and contrasting each with this question: which one would I enjoy seeing over the other (call it a mini tournament).

1. The Incredibles
Perfectly entertaining, I can watch this whenever.


2. Toy Story
 2
Capitalizes on the first Toy Story and extends the themes and creates new ones. Not to mention it's action and thrills were also elevated.


3. 
Finding Nemo
Really fun and entertaining.


4. Toy Story
A classic.

5. Toy Story 3 
My least favorite Toy Story only because it had no song (ie "Strange Things," "I Will Go Sailing No More" and "When She Used To Love Me") and I felt the stuff away from Andy's house (ie Sunnyside and Bonnie's house) wasn't as intriguing though the dump was very thrilling. I also felt like Lotso was a bit of a rehash of Stinky Pete (bitter toy who wasn't played with anymore).

*Does anyone else think that a perfect time for a song would have been when Andy and Bonnie were playing with the toys at the end*

And for this I think it's a great trilogy, not so much that Toy Story 3 got it right. I think each built on the last and the stakes for the Toys got higher, though I felt Toy Story 3 skated over a few things and rehashed. I felt they skated over the fact that their were only a handful of Andy's Toys left (ESPECIALLY Little Bo Peep!). They also bypassed Jessie's angst over Andy leaving her after Emily did the same.

6. Wall-E
Though unbalanced, it holds a special place in my heart. The love between Wall-E and Eve captures me as well as the social commentary. 


7. Monsters, Inc.
Boo breaks my heart.

8. Up
Much like Wall-E it's unbalanced but the latter half is not as compelling as Wall-E's for me.


9. Bug's Life

I really do enjoy this movie and don't hold much against it but I just don't hold preference to it against the others above.

10. Ratatouille
Same with this.

11. Cars
Doesn't speak to me. It felt like it could have been made by Dreamworks.

Hmm, tough list.

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

But, they're all within an A-B+ range anyway.

Yeah I feel like I need to revise mine.  Ratatouile really grows on me.

I haven't yet seen Cars 2 so I can't add it to my list, but:

1. Monsters, Inc.

2. Toy Story 3

3. The Incredibles

4. Wall-E

5. Finding Nemo

6. Toy Story

7. Toy Story
 2
8. Cars

9. Bug's Life

10. Ratatouille
11. Brave
12. Up

Numerical is hard - more of an A Group, B Group, & C Group.  And other than A Group, the order fluctuates.  Anybody else have any number of Pixar musical themes stuck in their head after making the list?  Get out of my head, Randy Newman!  Oh, damn, now it's Up...and I'm crying. 

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

I haven't seen Brave yet, but regardless of its merits as a film, it has Kelly Macdonald...so I'll probably buy it.
