What is your favorite Disney/Pixar movie? Also rank them in the order that you like them...here's my list:


1. Finding Nemo
2. Toy Story
3. Ratatouille
4. A Bug's Life
5. Toy Story 2
6. Monsters, Inc.
7. WALL-E
8. UP
9. Cars
10. The Incredibles

1. WALL-E
2. UP
3. Finding Nemo
4. Toy Story
5. The Incredibles
6. Monsters, Inc.
7. Ratatouille
8. A Bug's Life
9. Cars
10. Toy Story 2

We have a rank thread elsewhere where a lot of people have discussed the thinking behind the rankings, but these poll threads are getting a great response so this is a logical one.

Having recently seen all ten films, I'm very comfortable with my ranking:

1) Toy Story
2) A Bug's Life
3) The Incredibles
4) Toy Story 2
5) Up
6) WALL-E
7) Cars
Monsters, Inc.
9) Finding Nemo
10) Ratatouille

Here's the old thread:

Forced to vote for only one, so I selected "UP", but really I think that Cars and Ratatouille are in my Top Three. If I had to put them in order it would be:

Up
Cars
Ratatouille
Toy Story
Toy Story 2
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
A Bug's Life
WALL-E
Monsters Inc.

Basically I hate lists because all of the Disney/Pixar films have their own individual charm about them. Some days I am in the mood for "Monsters Inc.", while other days I want to enjoy "Cars" or "A Bug's Life".

High on my list of 'can't wait fors' are "Toy Story 3" and "Cars 2". Pixar has raised the bar pretty high for CGI animated films. And they never disappoint.

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

I changed it, but it's hard to maintain this list when they're all so good.

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

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

Wow, I hadn't expected for the two Toy Story films to be so low. I guess that's why I'm not too overly excited for Toy Story 3. But, A Bug's Life will always be my number one film (of course, only if Pixar comes out with a better film, but I don't think that'll happen) because of its humor and overall great story.

1. WALL-E: WALL-E and EVE are such an adorable couple, and this movie really does tug on my heartstrings. The juxtaposition of "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" and the mountains of garbage is brilliant, and I think that the dismal images of earth are exquisite in their own way. The score is also very interesting, in my opinion. Just an overall great movie, that I can watch over and over again.

2. Up: It's just beautiful. It makes me cry, and I think it may be Pixar's most emotional film. As much as I like the talking dogs, I do think they deviate a little from the tone of the movie. It works as it is, and I wouldn't have it any other way, but it makes it slightly less seamless than WALL-E, so I had to give it second. But this is my favorite Pixar score, for sure!

3. The Incredibles: I've always been fascinated by superhero teams, and when coupled with a family dynamic, they can be extremely interesting. I think this is one of the neatest concepts Pixar has ever explored, but this movie never reaches the level of emotion in WALL-E or Up. Still, it's absolutely fantastic! It always leaves me hungry for a sequel, though. And it would have been better if Violet had gotten more screentime.

4. Toy Story 2: The sequel is much more satisfying to me than the original. I love Jessie and Bullseye, and "When She Loved Me" always makes me cry hysterically. I did think the subplot with the two Buzzes came out of left field a little bit, but I think this is a fairly deep film, definitely beyond Toy Story. It really is a film about mortality, and as chilling as it is, it's really effective. I don't think the plot is as interesting as the three ranked above it, though.

5. Ratatouille: It really is a beautiful film. I don't think it's cold or pretentious or anything. I think it's got a great message about being able to do whatever you set your heart to. It always makes me hungry to watch! I just find it incredible how they were able to animate all of those fur-covered rats and have them all look good! It's a little odd, but "Le Festin" always gives me chills, I don't know why. A very good movie, but again, I don't think it gets as emotional as the ones ranked above it.

6. Monsters, Inc.: This concept is very, very interesting, and I think the movie's hilarious. The plot twist was ingenious, and I think it would have ranked higher, but really, I've seen it so many times, both by choice and against my will before I was into Disney. I don't know why, but I don't think it has the constant re-watchability of the ones above it. It certainly does have the best of the Randy Newman scores, though.

7. a bug's life: I haven't seen this one too many times. I like the characters, and I find Hopper to be an impressive and intimidating villain (although I think Syndrome is more fun). It's a cute film, and I do enjoy the circus bugs. I think it isn't as memorable as the ones above it, though. It's a joy to watch, but I don't think it sticks as much after it's over.

8. Toy Story: It's a classic, but, really, most of the ones that were made after it have been better. Pixar was really just trying out their powers. It has emotion, but nowhere near as much as the later films, including its own sequel. It's funny, but not as funny as Monsters, Inc. Visually, it is extremely dated, and Scut is one of the most bizarre-looking things I have ever seen in my life. Don't think I didn't like the movie, because I enjoy it greatly. It might have been better if Bo Peep had had more screentime, but really all of the characters are enduring and wonderful, which is why I think Toy Story 2 worked so well.

9. Finding Nemo: A beautiful film with a heart. Why is it ranked so low, you may ask? Well, as I explained before, I was forced to watch it about four times a day for a few months. It got really old, really fast. Of course, now I can appreciate it a bit better, but honestly, that annoyance with it still hasn't quite worn off. Which is a real shame, because it is a good film. I simply can't place it above almost any other Pixar film because of that. Is it maybe a better movie than Toy Story? Possibly. Do I like it as much? I don't think so.

10. Cars: I thought it was cute, I liked watching it. I absolutely hated Lightning for the first half of the film, and so the beginning left a bad taste in my mouth. Seeing him redeemed was alright. I was mildly annoyed with the fact that the protagonist is unlikeable for a pretty good chunk of the movie. I don't think it was bad, though. Sure, the premise seems a little odd, but I think it was pulled off rather well. I especially like the different characters in Radiator Springs, and the fact that the eyes are in the windshield, more like the old Disney short "Susie," instead of the headlights. Actually, seeing it again lately, I don't think a sequel is a terrible idea. Does it need one as badly as The Incredibles? No. But it might be fun to catch up with the whole gang again!

Wall-e is my favorite- it's such a sweet story. I love Wall-e & Eve. It's always hard for me to rank movies...Cars was my favorite before Wall-e came out, though.

WALL-E (without question) was the best Disney/Pixar movie ever!

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


I think overall Wall-E is the better film, but for me personally none of these out-do Monsters, Inc. It just holds a special place in my heart.

1. Toy Story 2
2. WALL-E
3. A Bug's Life
4. Up
5. Monsters, Inc.

5. The Incredibles
6. Finding Nemo
7. Monsters, Inc.
