Favorite Pixar Film?
 
Which is your favorite?

Shellsweet 07-03-2010 03:56 PM

UGH, it's SO hard. D:

But Monsters Inc has a special place in my heart. I will admit.

ooglafina 07-03-2010 04:19 PM

I voted for Wall-E because I'm sure that everybody was dying to know. :D

I have to admit that I haven't seen Monsters Inc. I think it's the only one besides Toy Story 3. I was neck and neck between Up and Wall-E, but I Wall-E is so darned cute. And he reminds me of my friend.

Samhain 07-03-2010 04:27 PM

For me its The Incredibles. But Toy Story is right up there with it.

Shellsweet 07-03-2010 04:54 PM

It's almost impossible for me to say I have a Favorite. But something about Monsters Inc is on the top for me. I love all their movies.

I know. I haven't seen one that I haven't liked yet. Or one that I thought was even mediocre yet.

Yeah, too long for the poll. Only 15 choices or it.

Nonesense! Lives are over-rated. :P

Slap-Happy 07-03-2010 05:51 PM

Even though I saw Monsters Inc. five times when it came out, I'm going with Toy Story. It will always be my favorite pixar movie. :D

BubblyShell22 07-03-2010 05:59 PM

I loved Finding Nemo, though Toy Story ranks up there since it was the very first film done by Pixar. I love all of their films except for Ratatouille. That one wasn't very interesting for me.

Raph's Girl 07-03-2010 06:22 PM

Toy Story with Wall-E in close 2nd.

ooglafina 07-03-2010 06:56 PM

I'm a big Joss Whedon fan so I suppose I should rank Toy Story up further. I think that maybe I consider it such a classic now that I don't think of it as a Pixar. If that makes any sense.

Like I said in another thread (and BubblyShell22), Ratatouille bored me to death. Half way through the movie, I was in disbelief that such an unappealing, boring movie was released by the previously flawless Pixar. :ohwell: And (while an improvement over Ratatouille), I thought Wall-E was also a pretty boring film with only mildly entertaining parts sprinkled throughout the movie. After two stinkers, I didn't even bother to go see Up in theaters, but my sister rented it and (while still not up to the Toy Story - Cars level of quality of Pixar's reign) it did help renew some of my faith in Pixar. Luckily Toy Story 3 has reminded me of how awesome Pixar can be (although even that movie still bows before Dreamwork's How To Train Your Dragon for me this year).


Overall, if I had to rank the Pixar films in order favorite to least favorite, it would look like this:

Cars
The Incredibles
Toy Story 2
Finding Nemo
A Bug's Life
Toy Story 3
Toy Story
Monsters Inc.
Up
Wall-E
Ratatouille


I am looking forward to the sequels for Monsters Inc. and Cars. I hope The Incredibles will also get a sequel.

Eiko 07-03-2010 09:20 PM

Finding Nemo Prob be my fav I did like Ratatouille watched it last night with my kids good movie.

Warhorse 07-03-2010 09:59 PM

Finding Nemo! Not only my favorite Pixar film, but it has to be in my top ten as favorite movie of all time.

ooglafina 07-03-2010 10:38 PM

I haven't seen Ratatouille, I now realize.

I guess I have to amend my statement from before. I found "Cars" to be "Too Wong Foo" but with cars instead of drag queens. So I took away points for lack of originality.

tone-master21 07-03-2010 10:42 PM

My favorite is Toy Story followed by Monsters, Inc.

BubblyShell22 07-04-2010 08:11 AM

I thought Wall-E was cute and had some very good moments in it. It wasn't boring to me at all.

Shark_Blade 07-04-2010 09:51 AM

The Incredibles, followed by Toy Story 2.

Candy Kappa 07-04-2010 07:23 PM

I like'em all except for bugs life and cars.
Cars didn't have the extra punch Pixar often shows and Bugs life I haven't seen it sine it came on vhs, but what I remember was it didn't really entertain me.

what I love with Pixar movies are their stories, interesting designs and that they always do something new or something show-offy on a 3D technical level

BubblyShell22 07-06-2010 09:42 AM

I thought A Bug's Life was cute. My favorite character was Dot. Cars was good, but I hated the moment when Mater's helicopter ride took away from the tender moment between Lightning and Sally.

MrPliggins 07-08-2010 06:56 AM

Torn between Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc (haven't seen TS3 yet). I went with Monsters. Very tough choice overall, I love them all in some way even though I think the earlier ones (up to Cars) have more rewatch value (minus A Bug's Life, probably my least favorite of the bunch).

Turo602 07-08-2010 07:17 PM

I guess I have to go with Toy Story. That movie and I were buddies back in the day.

But in order I'll go with...

Toy Story
Toy Story 3
Toy Story 2
The Incredibles
Monsters Inc
Finding Nemo
Ratatouille
A Bug's Life

The rest, either never saw them or care for them.

Powder 07-08-2010 07:42 PM

I went for A Bug's Life. I don't really like the rest.

Bug's life is usually the last on everyones list. Good to see its appreciated. I just watched it again the other day and I must say I enjoyed it very much. I even caught some jokes that I didnt catch when I was younger.

And Kevin Spacey as Hopper, FTW.

gobo 07-08-2010 11:35 PM

The Incredibles first. Ratatouille next, then Wall-E...

Iroh 07-08-2010 11:41 PM

Finding Nemo FTW!! :tcool:

ThirdMarioBro 07-09-2010 12:24 AM

I went with Up. Its a terribly hard choice to make because there isn't one Pixar film I don't love. Wall-E is a timeless piece (up there with Blade Runner) that could be used to teach film making. Toy Story is a timeless classic. Finding Nemo is brilliant, and Monsters Inc (my VERY close #2) is one of the most touching animated films out there. Up however just touched on so many topics I love. It covered love, loss, the way society quietly discards old people when its done with them... just a beautiful little gem.

I've got to disagree with you there. I loved How to Train Your Dragon immensely, but it was incredibly formulaic. Toy Story 3 however went balls-to-the-wall in terms of courage with it's script writing.

I actually didn't think Pixar had the guts to tell that story they way they did, but they touched two generations with that one. I saw multiple teary eyed twenty-somethings in that theater, including myself, at the end with Andy and Woody. It spoke to all of us. We've all been in that situation.

Shark_Blade 07-09-2010 01:21 AM

In order:

The Incredibles
Toy Story 2
Toy Story
Toy Story 3
Up
Monsters, Inc.
Finding Nemo
Ratatouille
WALL-E
A Bug's Life
Cars

Buffy 07-09-2010 02:10 AM

I voted for "the incredibles". I loved the vibe it had like in those old James Bond movies.

ToTheNines 07-09-2010 04:52 PM

All very close, but if I had to pick a top 3.

1. The Incredibles - Perfect balance of action, humor and Samuel L. Jackson.
2. Up - Teared me up in the first 10 minutes.
3. Wall-E - Just love it.

BubblyShell22 07-10-2010 08:33 AM

Yeah, I liked Wall-E because it showed that you don't necessarily have to have a lot of dialogue to make a good movie. My favorite part is when Wall-E is looking through the trash and he sees a bra. He picks it up, puts it over his eyes, and says, "Whoa!" That part cracked me up.
