Pixar movies

What's you fave Pixar movie? Mine's the original Toy Story, no other has topped that for me 

[Reply #1 on:]

Agreed. You can't beat the impact that movie had.

 Though I must say Pixar did a surprisingly fine job on Toy Story 2. 

[Reply #2 on:]

My favourite so far has been Finding Nemo.  It's moving, and the design is absolutly beautiful.

[Reply #3 on:]

I've liked all the Pixar films i've seen. I realy want to see Finding Nemo, a couple of my mates have seen and they said it was great. 

[Reply #4 on:]

I've always gone for the original Toy Story. But they're all so bloody good. I'd say the only film that is slightly weaker is A Bugs Life. Although it's still very good. I just doesn't have as many strong characters as Pixars other releases.

Anyway, before yesterday my answer would be Toy Story. But last night is saw Finding Nemo! (Remember, it's only just come out in the UK) It really really is close to perfection! Just as good as Toy Story (maybe better ?!) It works on very level. The characters, story and script are brilliant. And the animation is totally breathtaking. I laughed, I "cried" (well, almost), and I loved every moment! As flawless as Toy Story is, I think we have a new champion!

And why has nobody voted for TS2!? With zero votes you'd think it was rubbish or something!!! Come on somebody vote for it, it's easily better than A Bugs Life (and probably Monsters Inc).

Never saw Bug's Life, I went with Monsters Inc.  Having to created the whole monster world, and how everything worked, was genius.

Ive only seen the teaser but I can tell "the incredibles" is gonna be great..

[Reply #8 on:]

Monsters Inc, until I see Finding Nemo, then i'll vote.

[Reply #9 on:]

I would have to go with Toy Story and/or A Bugs Life.

[Reply #10 on:]

Toy story for now...finding Nemo looks like it will top it.

I'm gonna assume you mean computer animated films.  Because all movies are 3D by your standards, if they include actually actors.  By my standards, it would actually have to be 3-dimensional, like Spy Kids 3D, but I never saw that, so don't hold me to it.

[Reply #14 on:]

I voted Toy Story 2. I think it was the Barbies and the Star Wars pisstake that did it for me. I mean the first one was great and all--but it's just so rare you find a sequel that actually rivels the original. And I just enjoyed it more.

That would be my list also. Monsters Inc. rocked. I really hope there's a sequel. And I thought Toy Story 2 was way better than the original, I mean it had Zurg in it!

[Reply #17 on:]

I liked Finding Nemo a lot, being an animal freak and all. A Bug's Life was great, and Monster's Inc as well.

Toy Story was never my favorite movie, anyway, because I didn't find it very believable, even as a kid. I just... didn't enjoy it that much. Same with the sequel.

All of them had amazing 3D animation, though.

[Reply #18 on:]

'Tis a tough choice for me.
Their last two, "Monsters, Inc." and "Finding Nemo" were both so great, "Nemo" had a bit more big laughs though, while "Monsters" had a bit of a bigger heart. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, gotta go with "Nemo" on this one.

[Reply #19 on:]

Monsters Inc. It might not be as funny as the others but it has the most intelligent and original plot i've seen in a cartoon movie.

[Reply #20 on:]

Finding Nemo was actually a very good movie.  The 3D animation was great.

[Reply #21 on:]

I love absolutely all the Pixar movies, so it's really hard to choose. But, I think I'll go with Monsters Inc. That film is just so visually beautiful and has such a cool and unique yet touching storyline too. But like i said, I love all the Pixar movies 

[Reply #22 on:]

I have seen all of them apart from Finding Nemo. Finding Nemo looks good so I might see that soon.

yea your right, Zurg rocks and rules baby   
that scen in the beginning is sooooo coooooool and that elevator scen too

Zurg: No Buzz, I AM your father

[Reply #24 on:]

Woo I'm kinda suprised that Toy Story 2 is in 4th place, but I'm not complaining, that's clool 

[Reply #25 on:]

Meh, I honestly don't get why people find Monsters, Inc better than Toy Story 1 and 2. It's a good, even brilliant film, but it just lacks the humour of the Toy Story movies (at least for me).

Eh, to each their own. 

[Reply #26 on:]

It's so difficult to pick a favorite Pixar movie, because they're all so great, with solid characters and creative stories.  My least favorite, though, is A Bug's Life, but even that movie's not that bad.

[Reply #27 on:]

A bug's life is my least favorite as well--for some reason it always struck me as a more typical "Disney Movie" kinda plot, rather than the really witty plots of the other Pixar movies. I actually liked Antz better, just comparable because it was another ant movie that came out around the same time.

I'm biased towards toy story because I was one of those freak kids that really did think my toys came to life when I left the room.

[Reply #28 on:]

Heh, heh, me too!  When I was really little, I also thought that my toys came to life.  When I first watched Toy Story, it reminded me of me.  During the night, for example, I would cover my stuffed animals with a blanket, because I didn't want them to get cold.

[Reply #29 on:]

When I was little, I was convinced that a big, slimy, purple monster lived in my closet.

Monsters, Inc. made me look back on those days of monster-fearing fondly.  It was cute and creative and got a little emotional, too, since the creators based some of it on thier own experiences as parents.  I also liked the voice cast for this one the best.  There was a really great chemistry there; the voices were done perfectly.

On another note, though, Toy Story 2 was probably the best sequel Disney ever made.  Which could easily be because all the other Disney sequels have been terrible...but still.  It was as good as, if not even better than, the original.

[Reply #30 on:]

*bump* I originally voted for Toy Story in this poll because at the time it was my favourite Pixar movie. However, I saw Finding Nemo today and was so stunned that I have to say I've found a new champion.

 The animation was absolutely breathtaking, the voice acting was fantastic (especially for Dory) and really made the show a lot more believeable. But what I like best about the film is simply the scale of the world that Pixar have created. With the Toy Story films, A Bugs Life and Monsters Inc., the communities established in the films, whilst impressive, always seemed to be pretty small and tight-nit, but in Finding Nemo, you really get the sense of the size of the ocean and the scale of the journey Marlin and Dory are embarking on, constantly meeting new creatures and navigating new obstacles. Fantastic. 

[Reply #31 on:]

FINDING NEMO! It was so great! I watched it yesterday, it was so great, funny, touching. It was definately the best!

I also liked that in Monsters inc. they put a small clip of finding Nemo at the end. And at the end of finding Nemo there was also a little reference to Monsters inc.

Pixar rules and I totally love the new style Disney is producing their films in nowadays. They grow up with me. From snowwhite, to Aladdin, to Treasure Planet, Disney rocks!

EDIT: not as much as Futurama, but still, it rocks!

[Reply #32 on:]

I couldn't decide if this belonged in Disney movies or here, so I flipped a coin...

I read on the IMDb the other day that  Disney is moving away from traditional animation in favour of Pixar-style CGI.  While I can understand that they might want to emphasize CGI more, please Disney, don't forsake hand-drawn feature animation entirely!

I've read about that too, it is kinda sad. Unfortunately all their most recent hand drawn efforts have pretty much sunk. At least compared to Pixar's movies, which have been huge. I really likes Treasure Planet, but for some reason it just didn't seem to go down that well. At the end of the day, it comes down to money. Although the fact a movie may be CGI doesn't make it any better storywise, which is the most important part. Pixar seem to have got everything right though, and now Disney seem to want in on the sucsess, and more money...

A big, slimy, purple monster does live under your bed.

I have to go with Monster Inc.  But I haven't seen Nemo yet.  I love all of them (and have all on DVD).  But Boo captures the day.  That being said, Mrs. Nezbit and The alien toys (The Claw!!!) are two of the funniest scenes ever on film.

And let's hope that Disney doens't forget lush, hand drawn animation.  The story is what works.  Disney just needs to get some good stories.

[Reply #35 on:]

Toy Story has that nostalgic quality for me and the jokes are still fresh today. My sisters have played Monsters Inc. practically to death, but it hold second place for me. I put A Bug's Life right at the bottom, that almost hit Disney-level bottom.

I agree. It isn't incredible special effects that make Pixar successful, it's a decent story.

And indeed it does - a totally awesome flick!

A Bug's Life
Finding Nemo
Monsters Inc.
Toy Story
Toy Story 2

Finding Nemo is amazing, but I still think I like A Bug's Life better.  I saw it four times when it came out in theaters.  I'm really excited for the Finding Nemo DVD release.  I think I'm going to use the Blockbuster promotion where $26.99 gets you seven rentals and the FN DVD.  They ran the same thing when Fellowship of the Ring came out on DVD, and that seemed to work out pretty well.

[Reply #38 on:]

I think it's great Disney is going to make more Pixar movies. They are not hand-animated, but at least they have all the good Disney elements in it. Disney got to do something to survive, they want to be on top. So I think it's a good decission and if you want to enjoy the old Disney movies (Not Snowwhite, but Aladdin, Lion King, the nice onces, you know what I mean) you can buy the DVD, it's what I'm doing. There are all kind of extra's on it, so you can learn more about Disney and their "OLD" ways/habits...

[Reply #39 on:]

Pixar are contracted to do two (?) more movies for Disney, then they're on their own.

I loved Finding Nemo, but I missed the small scene that came after the credits!! 
*speaks whale*

The karate crab was the best!!
