Since I'm finally caught up on all their films now:

1. The Incredibles
2. Toy Story 3
3. Toy Story 2
4. Inside Out
5. Toy Story
6. Luca
7. Monsters, Inc.
8. Finding Dory
9. Turning Red
10. Ratatouille
11. Toy Story 4
12. Coco
13. Onward
14. Incredibles 2
15. Finding Nemo
16. WALL E
17. Soul
18. Up
19. A Bug's Life
20. Brave
21. Cars
22. The Good Dinosaur
23. Monsters University

Still haven't seen Cars 2 and 3. I finally like all of my top 10 now! :pink: 11-16 are just alright. 17-20 meh, only a few good things about those films (ABL's Hopper, Up's prologue, Joe himself and several of the otherworldly stuff in Soul, the Witch in Brave and I do like Elinor and Fergus as a pair even if their designs look better hand-drawn than in the film itself). 21-23 hate.

Lightyear WAS a bomb ๐Ÿ’ฃ, wasnโ€™t it?
Iโ€™d rather watch Cars 2 on a loop, than to sit through Lightyear again.

To me Cars 2 is more of a WTF movie but I was at least entertained by all the stupid things happening there. I was just completely bored by Lightyear.

Its really really hard to rank the Pixar movies, and since i saw most of the New ones only once, it might be inaccurate, but I KNOW Ratatouille is clearly #1 and Incredibles #2 on my list

PERFECTION:
1. Ratatouille Such a charming story. I can rewatch the movie thousand times and never get bored. The food looks delicious, Linguini and Remy are charming characters and the message is also really cute. :D . Its such a comfort movie. Perfection.

GREAT:
2. The Incredibles: great charming characters, great villain and I love the vintage setting. Iconic score and I love the family dynamic.
3. Inside Out
4. Monsters Inc
5. Walle
6. Soul
7. Up


REALLY GOOD:
8. Toy Story 2
9. Toy Story
10. Coco
11. Brave: its not perfect, but I think it got its message across quite well. I really love the Balance of gloomy fairytale with the Humour, especially from her brothers and Bear Mom.
12. Luca: It was such a classic charming story. It kinda reminded me of Little Mermaid, but with a casual modern aspect rather than the grand fairytale blockbuster that it is. I also envy Lucas and Albertos friendship, I had a friend who was like Alberto and I was Luca*ish, he showed me great places and more, but whatever he recently moved spontaniously to another country because he found it beautiful there and I will probably never see him again :-D :brick: :kermit:
13. Finding Nemo: idk but FN always felt kinda depressing. Its not even such a sad movie, I think its the dark underwater look. They handled it way better in the sequel which looks more bright most of the time. But the Father son story was really great (kinda like King Tritons arc, only that this is the main focus now). Its really good.

Good:
14. Cars: Nostalgia probably catapulted it up here. Its not as groundbreaking as most Pixar movies, and not really that emotional, but it has an unique character arc about a bratty car :P that Learns to be more humble and Down to earth. And McQueen and Mater are an iconic duo.
15. Elemental: i kinda had my doubts with this one, since it felt like Zootopia but with Elements, but it was really original enough. Its probably also more rewatchable than Zootopia because it has no "secret twist villain".
16. Cars 3: This one is the emotional one in the Cars franshise. I really liked McQueens arc here.
17. Toy Story 3: i feel this one is a bit overrated, but when it hits, it hits. The additional characters are also really fun like Ken and Barbie
18. Toy Story 4, also liked this one.
19. Onward
20. Monsters University
21. Turning Red

Meh Good enough:
22. A Bugs Life
23. Finding Dory
24. Cars 2:
childhood favourite, still remember when I saw it in theatres. Now it feels more like a spinoff than a traditional follow up, but I really like the spy elements. Unfortunate that it feels out of place but whatever
25. The Incredibles 2: I really really liked it when I first saw it, but it worn off after few years. It felt like the characters were stuck in the past, especially Violet, where she learned to be confident in the end, only to end up being shy again. But the Action and mystery aspect was really entertaining and I love how Bob and Helen switched roles.
26. The good enough Dinosaur: i literally completely forgot what happened in the movie, and I watched it like 3 times or something. But the only thing i remember are the emotional scenes with Arlos Dad and the ending was really bittersweet, which I really love. If we were only Ranking the Pixar endings, I think this one would slightly make its way in the top 10.

Mehhhhhh:
27. Light
28. Year
, biggest Fanservice movie, i doubt this was the blockbuster that Andy was fascinated of, glad it bombed, if not we would have probably gotten a "Woody Wild West" movie lol. It didnt feel like Pixar at all. I dont hate it, but its clearly the weakest pixar movie.

Since I'm already on a roll with ranking WDAS films.

The Honor Guard
1. Finding Nemo
2. The Incredibles
3. Ratatouille
4. ONWARD
5. Monsters Inc.
6. Elemental
7. Coco
8. Turning Red


Still Better Than Anything I'll Ever Make
9. Toy Story 2
10. LUCA
11. Toy Story 3
12. Inside Out
13. a bug's life
14. Toy Story
15. UP
16. WALL-E



The Cracks Start to Show
17. Cars 3
18. Cars
19. Cars 2
20. Monsters University
21. Soul
22. The Incredibles 2
23. Finding Dory



We're Losing Them! Quick! Someone Call an Ambulance!
24. Brave
25. Toy Story 4
26. The Good Dinosaur
27. Lightyear


Given how sequel-heavy the bottom two categories are, you guys could probably guess how excited I am for Inside Out 2 ... you know. If I hadn't already been flashing my irritation with the fact that it exists.

I actually don't really even hate the Cars movies, even Cars 2 works better than I think people want to give it credit for.

My top tier, though, has both recent Pixar movies and movies from what most would call their golden age, which, again, makes it really weird to me that we have establishments like The New Yorks Times bemoaning a loss in quality among Pixar titles.

I know the eras of Disney animation are really well delineated among the fandom (there'll be disagreements on whether like the classic age ends with Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, or The Jungle Book, but the lines all hover around the same areas), but I'm curious to see how Pixar will be discussed once it has a history almost as long as Disney's. Inside Out 2 will mark #28 for them, placing their filmography right at the start of the Disney Renaissance with The Little Mermaid, even if they reached that count in a little over half the time.

Thought I would share my rankings on this thread! Caution: I do have some very controversial choices on many of theseโ€ฆ..

1. Toy Story 2
2. Finding Dory
3. Up
4. Inside Out
5. Ratatouille
6. Incredibles 2
7. Onward
8. A Bugโ€™s Life
9. Toy Story
10. Monsters, Inc.
11. The Incredibles
12. Elemental
13. Luca
14. Cars 3
15. Cars
16. Brave
17. Soul
18. Finding Nemo
19. Monsters University
20. WALL-E
21. Coco
22. Lightyear
23. Toy Story 3
24. Cars 2
25. The Good Dinosaur
26. Toy Story 4



27. Turning Red

#1-#16 are ones that I really love. #17-#25 are ones that I like enough to where any issues that I may have with them donโ€™t substantially affect my enjoyment of them.
Toy Story 4 is one where I overall like many of its ideas (includingโ€ฆ the ending!) enough to consider it a decent film though the execution of some of those ideas was very sloppy.
Turning Red is the only one of these that I donโ€™t like and even then I just consider it mediocrity.

Hoping for Inside Out 2 to at least land in my top 10!

I feel like most of them are really really wonderful. People rag on Disney movies in the early 2000s but the problem wasn't that they were bad. It's that they weren't as great as Pixar's masterpieces from that same era which took all the spotlight. However Disney really lost their shine before the decade was through while Pixar kept going strong. I consider Disney unwatchable and haven't really seen most of their new movies from the last decade or so but now I'm thinking Pixar is following suit.

Soul, Turning Red, and Lightyear were three of the worst movies I've ever seen!! Not just Pixar movies but movies in general. Horrible!!! Now I'm treating Pixar like Disney which is only watch if something is absolutley amazing in reviews. Skipped Elemental for that reason. Will watch Inside Out 2 cuz the first was amazing.

And I still think it's hilarious that Elemental was Disney's only box office "success" last year during their so-called 100th anniversary embarassment besides that Marvel guardians movie. Elemental only broken even so it didn't even make $$$ and only cuz Korea loved it. Now Disney has even killed Pixar :(
