k4tz's picks: 5 Favorite Pixar Films

First impressing us all with Toy Story back in 1995, Pixar continues to pump out quality movies for our eyes and ears to enjoy. Nearly 20 years later, they've released their 13th film (Brave - and I haven't seen it yet), so I thought it would be a fun idea to take a CGI-filled trip down memory lane and reflect on their best work. Once you're done reading (and possibly ranting) about my 5 favorite feature films, feel free to share your top 5 and why you love them.

5) WALL-E

One of the most beautiful and heart-felt stories I have ever seen. WALL-E paints a surprisingly dark and detailed picture about humanity's bleak future. Also, who would have thought one of Pixar's best love stories would be between two robots? It's tough not to make a Short Circuit joke, though.

4) Toy Story

Almost 2 decades later and Toy Story is not only one of Pixar's best films, but also one of the best animated movies ever. Lighthearted, amazingly fun and a memorable adventure make the 1995 classic an easy pick for the list.

3) Monsters, Inc.

Kitty!!! Monsters, Inc. was an explosion of imagination as we dove into the secret world of the monsters that dwell in our dark and creepy closest. Hilarious, visually stunning and adorably charming, it's no wonder that they're making another one and re-releasing this in 3D.

2) The Incredibles

It's impossible to not love this movie if you like comic books - and seeing as this as Comic Vine, I sincerely hope you enjoy comics. The run time is a bit long for some, but this is without question one of Pixar's most unique and amazing films to date. Eat your heart out, Fantastic Four.

1) Toy Story 3

In my eyes, this is Pixar's masterpiece. The conclusion to the trilogy is incredibly warm and dives into some deep issues - some a bit too deep for the younger audience to really comprehend. There's no shame whatsoever in admitting the ending brought a tear to your eye.

That is a good list. My top 5 would be:

1. Toy Story
2. Monster Inc's
3. Toy Story 2
4. Toy Story 3
5. The Incredibles

Ironically my favorite movies too, except Up is among them. Surprised to not find it here though. Also the Incredibles is light-years ahead of the live action Fantastic Four movies.

lol

This was my reaction to Toy Story 3 

@CaioTrubat: I'd say Up and Finding Nemo are definitely honorable mentions. I enjoyed Up, but not as much as these 5.

Cars 2 is easily the superior film

Kitty kittyyyyyyy

I agree with the list. But different order of the prior films.

The Incredibles, that is all

Nice.

Monsters Inc would be at my top, and Up would be in the list too, just for the first 10 minutes :O

@k4tzm4n:

Finding Nemo would be my number 5, Incredibles my number 4, monsters Inc my number 3, Toy Story 1 is my number 2, and Toystory 3 is my tip-top.

I haven't seen WALL. E or Toy Story 3.
 
DON'T JUDGE ME.

5) The Incredible

4) Toy Story 3

3) Wall-E

2) Ratatouille

1) Up

A Bug's Life curbstomps, repairs the head using advanced stem-cell and biomechanical research, then curbstomps again.  
 

4. Toy Story
3. The Incredibles
2. Toy Story 2
1. A Bug's Life 
 
 
That is all. The rest suck, imo.

I haven't seen WALL. E or Toy Story 3.  DON'T JUDGE ME.

And Toy Story 3 is like a demented, Cronenberg horror film for kids. 

1 Toy story 3

2)Ratatouille

3) up

4)The incredibles

5) monsters inc

@Loki9876: hah!

there were way more people my age than there were kids....

Same here.

Very nice list. I still haven't seen Toy Story 3 and I've never finished Wall-E so I can't render judgement on those. I loved UP as a a more recent Pixar production and will be seeing Brave soon.

I never cared for WALL-E

Mine is only slightly different

5. Toy Story

4. Up

3. Finding Nemo

2. The Incredibles

1. Toy Story 3

5. finding nemo

4. toy story

3. monsters inc

2.the incredibles

1. wall-e

@buttersdaman000: unless ur 40 now, remember that toy story came out in 1994, i was 8yro and im pretty sure people where also just as young and wanted to see how part 3 turned out as young (at heart)adults

Toy Story 3 freaked me out.... It's a strange movie... Creepy.

Monsters Inc. for the win!

Wall.E is the only one I liked.

Toy Story 3 followed closely by Up

@k4tzm4n: Toy Story 3...To all of us...brought tears to our eyes...

i agree. Toy Story 3 was the best made me remember when i was little. Truly a masterpiece.

Remember when the toys are headed for a fiery demise?

And the tone of the film so far actually makes it believable that it would actually go there?

I was at the verge of tears when they accepted their death. Was waaaaaaay to emotional for a kids movie.

I still want to see Wall-E. That's the one Pixar movie I haven't seen yet. =(

@k4tzm4n:

Why... just why...

@k4tzm4n: Your list is exactly like mine.

I didn't like Wall-E that much but otherwise good selections. Yes I cried my eyes out at Toy Story 3.

Your list is perfect! During Toy Story 3 I had a 30 year old man in the Cinema sitting beside me visibly crying when they nearly died was close to crying myself.

5) Ratatouille

4) Monsters INC

3) Up

2) Wall-E

1) Toy Story

Wall-e was by far the worst movie i have ever seen. that and Robots. Boring as heck. "UP" would replace Wall_E on my list.

Toy story 3 made me mad. to take such a lighthearted movie and add that ending. when I saw the toys start bubbling from the heat, i couldn't take it. it was like my oldest friends were melting. my eyes are watering typing it now. lol. seriously
