After some posts in the Last Seen Movie thread, I thought this would be better than me filling that thread up with this. I think everyone has seen at least one pixar film, and many people's opinions are divided. Here are mine. I think it will be quite interesting to hear what other people have to say on the matter.


Toy Story was one of my favourite animated films. I must have seen it so many times as a child. And it was really the first leap into what has taken over traditional cell animation (which is kinda sad in a way too).

A Bugs Life was okay, but as Chrono said, not particularly memorable. It just wasn't up to the standards most of their films are.

Toy Story 2 was nearly as good as the first. Nearly. Nice new characters and doesn't rely heavily on the first. Good storyline as well. I'm looking forward to the third.

Monsters Inc. is a great film. Lots of laughs, funny characters, a good idea which most people can relate to and brilliant animation. This film is often forgotten and I don't know why!

Finding Nemo is at the moment, my favourite Pixar film. Rewatchable all the time, great jokes, great characters, stunning animation, a compelling story. A great piece of work from Pixar.

The Incredibles is almost as good as Finding Nemo. Very entertaining. I'd say it has everything Finding Nemo has but doesn't pull all of them off quite as well. Still an excellent film. Like Monsters Inc., many people forget it.

Cars was very dull for me. It seemed to have lost the spark that the others had. I watched it but never got into the film or that characters as I did with the other Pixar films.

Ratatouille is a film I've yet to see, but I've heard many positive things about it.

Wall.E seems very overrated to me. It had a certain charm to it but at several points I found myself checking the time or starting to doze off. I'd say it was better than Cars and A Bugs Life, but not as good as the rest. Many people disagree with me, and I'm sure their arguments are well founded. But to me, it wasn't as good as I expected.


These are just my opinions. I actually hope people question them so we can get a productive argument going. I really like Pixar and the films I didn't like, I did want to like. I'm hoping with a few rewatches they can grow on me.
