I feel like sequels by default should be lower than original movies of the same series. That is mostly represented in the list except with toy story. Toy story 1 is the best of the series.

 

[Drago]

Boy o, boy o, time for a list!

1. Inside Out/Ratatouille (still can't choose which one I like more)
3. Incredibles
4. Toy Story 2
5. Finding Nemo
6. Monsters Inc
7. Toy Story
8. Up
9. Monsters U
10. Toy Story 3
11. Wall-E
12. Cars
13. A Bug's Life
14. The Good Dinosaur
15. Brave
16. Cars 2

1-10 being excellent movies that I can fire up whenever and always enjoy it a ton, the sepcific placements are more just me trying to think of which movies I enjoyed more than others. 11-14 being movies I like but not quite as much as the others. Brave is boring, I wouldn't call it bad but I can't stand to watch it. Cars 2 is the only real turd of the list.

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Personally I was never that for fond of toy story. I was 5 when the movie releases and it got shown to me numerous times and I never cared for it that much. However I'm willing to let it slide since it's highly regarded.

With that said Toy Story 2 has no business being that high on the ranking. It was a straight to dvd movie and wasn't that great. I'd put ithe only above cars and cars 2.

 

[Seesaw15]

Up is Pixar's greatest short but after the first 15 minutes its pretty so-so

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Toy Story 2 is overrated imo.

WALL-E is probably my favorite Pixar movie so I'm glad to see it come 2nd.

 

[Twilight Gap]

Generally, I rate anything based on how likely I am to see it again over time. Like, if I could pop in one movie right now, which ones am I most likely to pick?

Films I wouldn't really rewatch
The Good Dinosaur (haven't seen it but the dinosaurs voice alone is off putting)
Cars 2 (once)
Monster's University (once)
Toy Story 3 (once)
Up (twice)

Films I would only rewatch a few times
Ratatouille (once)
Cars (three times)
Inside Out (once)
Brave (three times)

Films I'd never get tired of watching
A Bug's Life (at least five times)
Monsters, Inc. (at least five times)
Finding Nemo (at least seven times)
The Incredibles (at least seven times)
WALL-E (over ten times)

I've been meaning to watch Inside Out again (wanted to tonight before I saw this list), but Bing Bong really just kills that movie for me.

I'm not sure where I'd put Toy Story 1 and 2 since it's been a long while since I watched either one, but i've seen them both at least 5 times when I was younger.

 

[Vampire On Titus]

Just looked at the list again and realized A Bug's Life is under Monster's University.

Disgusting.

 

[11037]

Up is easily their worst. Third place? lmao

I mean, yeah Up isn't very good but how can you say that when Barve and Cars 2 exist!?

 

[Vincent Alexander]

As much as I don't care for Up or Wall-E, I can understand why others could love them. Toy Story 3 though? What the fuck? The love for it genuinely confuses the shit out of me.

 

[Premium Quality]

I've only watched like, 4 Pixar movies. I'm sure some of you Pixar fanboys will dismiss my opinion, but from what I've watched, I liked Finding Nemo the best. The rest I would rank; Toy Story, Up, then The Incredibles.
I really should watch Wall-E.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

I thought Inside Out and Ratatouille were better films than Up and Wall-E.

Same

 

[Biochet]

Up being this high on the list is a crime so is Ratatouille being this low

 

[Jigorath]

Switch Toy Story 3 and Ratatouille and it's not a bad list.

 

[gutter_trash]

Monster's Inc is too low, needs to be higher

I am glad that kiddy trash like Bug's Life and Nemo are at the bottom though

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Toy Story, Ratatouille and The Incredibles are the top 3.

Everyone knows a cars 2 is complete shit.

 

[DonMigs85]

Say what you will about Cars 2, it was still a visual treat.
And that gag with the eyes on headlights car (Celine Dephare) was great

 

[Pachimari]

I really enjoyed Cars 2.

The only Pixar movies I haven't seen are Cars and Finding Nemo.

 

[ExVicis]

I feel like sequels by default should be lower than original movies of the same series. That is mostly represented in the list except with toy story. Toy story 1 is the best of the series.

Completely disagree, Toy Story 2 was nothing but an improvement from Toy Story 1. Every character from the first got more fleshed out and was more interesting because of it.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Pixar films are one of those things I've never really had much interest in listing. Most of them are quality enough, that you could essentially just randomize it entirely (excepting Cars and Cars 2) and you get an ordering that could easily be defended.
.

Basically this...

They are all so good.. It's hard for me to decide which one is better.
A couple of them are a tiny little bit "worse", but that's that.

I haven't seen Cars2, and don't plan to...

 

[CaptainCook]

Might be my nostalgia screwing with me but a bugs life needs to be higher

 

[TAJ]

I mean, yeah Up isn't very good but how can you say that when Barve and Cars 2 exist!?

If Mater was doing his thing in almost every frame of Cars 2 then you might have a point. There was a lot to like about Cars 2, especially if you were a Bond fan. I might have liked Up if I was a 4yo.

 

[higgsboson1997]

Cars should be in the top 10, instead of Up. Up had a great first 10 minutes, but then became very mediocre from then on.

 

[dankir]

Asides from Cars Pixar has had a pretty damn good track record.

 

[ExVicis]

Asides from Cars Pixar has had a pretty damn good track record.

Cars isn't even that bad I think. It's just low-quality when compared to the rest of Pixar's work.

 

[PsychBat!]

Nah. Cars 2 was clearly a cash in.

 

[inm8num2]

Too lazy to find my rankings from a previous thread but Ratatouille is #1.

 

[DonMigs85]

Nah. Cars 2 was clearly a cash in.

Well, all Disney/Pixar features are designed to cash in from merchandise. Cars 2 wasn't really all that bad. The whole spy thing and Francesco Bernoulli were fun.

 

[Sojgat]

Ratatouille at 9? WTF is this shit?

Too low.

 

[Extra Sauce]

The Monsters movies are my jam.

Wall-E's first act is my favorite thing Pixar did but I can take or leave the rest.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Toy Story 3 is a pretty good movie until you remember Toy Story 2 already did those exact emotional beats.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Bug's Life a little low, and I'd have WALL-E at #1, but otherwise a pretty good list.

 

[tbd]

Is it the majority that thinks that overloaded Toy Story 3 is better than 1?

 

[Technosteve]

Everyone in this thread is a monster. Leave up alone

 

[Future]

Yeesh, the good dinosaur is that bad eh?

 

[kinoki]

Of the Pixar movies I've seen I'd probably just say that The Incredibles, Up, Ratatoile, Brave, and WALL-E are worth watching. The Toy Story-movies haven't aged well and the Monster-movies are boring. Cars, Inside Out and Nemo I haven't seen so I shouldn't be so quick to judge them.

 

[Whom_Gods_Annoy]

Ratatouille is 8 places too low.

This is the correct answer.

 

[Caddywompus]

Yeesh, the good dinosaur is that bad eh?

Yep that's pretty much all I took away from their list too. Bottom tier Pixar film no matter how you rank them.

 

[Spinluck]

Yikes, what a terrible list.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Not a bad list but Ratatouille was robbed, as usual.

 

[SuperBanana]

Toy Story 3 their best film? Whaaa? How is that even possible? I can understand an argument about their best film ... but in no argument do I see that film sitting in that spot. Toy Story 3 is only good because of the films that came before it -- if you saw it in a vacuum, there is no way you'd view it as the best Pixar film.

I saw Toy Story when it first came out and I've never seen Toy Story 2 and still think 3 was amazing.

 

[Weckum]

Ratatouille not at number 1 or 2 is a shame. Inside Out should be higher as well. Wall*E and Up that high is insane, both aren't really that good. I think Up especially is very overrated (except for the first 15 minutes of course).

 

[Hatchtag]

I can't take any list that doesn't list Brave last seriously. It's just a bad movie. Like Cars 2 I remember more than Brave and enjoyed more. Cars 2. The James Bond parody with Larry the Cable Guy.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

I've been meaning to watch Inside Out again (wanted to tonight before I saw this list), but Bing Bong really just kills that movie for me.

What? No way. Inside Out, seeing it with my teenage son and pre-teen daughter, brought all the feels, especially when I've watched one of my own lose their sense of wonderment that Bing Bong represents.

 

[Vidiot]

The whole list doesn't matter so long as we all agree cars 2 is by far the worst without question.

 

[jurgen]

5. The Incredibles
4. Toy Story
3. Up
2. WALL-E
1. Toy Story 3

I'm honestly fine with this. The Incredibles is one of the best superhero films ever made. Up is heartbreakingly genuine. WALL-E is a beautiful film that tackles consumerism and love so well through a child-like lens. Toy Story is a guaranteed shoe-in for how important a film it was. Toy Story 3 isn't necessarily my favorite Pixar film overall, but it proved that someone can take a franchise everyone thought was played out and throw us all for a loop - it's a great prison-break film and that ending makes grown men cry.

 

[Dynedom]

A Bug's Life gets way too much hate/underappreciation. =\

Best Seven Samurai adaptation ever.

edit: And it's definitely better than Brave, ugh.

 

[DonMigs85]

I'm surprised at the number of people in this thread who watched sequels without seeing the preceding movie. That's a big no-no

 

[Jarmel]

So I take it the Good Dinosaur wasn't good?

 

[Buba Big Guns]

Gotta agree with Toy Story 3 being the best. WALL-E #2.

And A Bug's Life is definitely better than Brave.

 

[Balb]

Not sure how Toy Story 3 gets this much love. It's basically a retelling of 2 (even the villain is presented in the exact same way) with some sentimental bits at the beginning and end.
