Fave Pixar Features

[Matthew_S]

No real reason for this one, other than curiosity after hearing one of the Battleship Pretension guys proclaim Pixar's 2 masterpieces to be The Incredibles and Finding Nemo

Enjoy!

Never seen one!  HA!

[masterofsparks]

I've never seen Finding Nemo, for some reason. This one was really hard - I've seen all of the others and Cars is the only one I didn't like. The Incredibles is definitely my favorite and I chose Toy Story 2 for the other (in spite of that awful Sarah McLachlan interlude).

[crumbum]

I didn't really like the last four all that much (sorry Patton fans), and I've never seen Finding Nemo or Monsters Inc. So I guess my choices are limited...if you could vote for the first half of Wall-E that'd be my top pick but I have to agree with MOS -- Toy Story 2 and The Incredibles.

[slipperyslope]

I only liked Wall-E

The "gutsy" length of no dialog at the start, and the witty societal commentary (both obvious and between the lines) both were enough to put it ahead of the heap for me, along with the fantastic production values.

They were all "well made" or whatever, but they're all just so zany and colorful and don't appeal to me. Wall-E exercised a little more restraint than the rest.

I wish "9" was on this list though (yes I know it wasn't a pixar)

Wall-E is hippy propaganda and The Incredibles is a paean to Nazi supermen.

Wall-E is hippy propaganda and The Incredibles is a paean to Nazi supermen.

And Cars is Detroit/Big Oil propaganda.

But Toy Story 1 and 2 are the best for me.

Someone derided the Sarah McLachlan interlude and all I can say is I still get all weepy even if I think about that thing. I guess those who don't like it either don't have kids or don't have hearts.

Finding Nemo was made solely to breed Cthulhu worship.

That was me. I guess I don't have a problem with the interlude itself, just the song. The images are powerful enough to work without having a syrupy song thrown on top. Pixar is normally very good about not spoon-feeding the audience - I'd call the inclusion of the song a rare mis-step.

[jbissell]

Cars is the only one I dislike.

1. Toy Story
2. Monsters Inc.
3. Toy Story 2
4. Wall-E
5. Ratatouille
6. The Incredibles

7. Up

8. Finding Nemo
9. A Bug's Life




10. Cars

I don't think Y/N is kidding and I don't think he's wrong-- The Incredibles -- great entertaining movie -- does have that creepy core Ayn Rand concept of "superior" people deserving more from life than the normals.

I vote for Monsters Inc. Mainly because my kids get a kick out of screaming "2319! 2319!" and tackling me.

A Bug's Life is at my bottom.

Toy Story 1 and 2 = Big Toy propaganda.

Monsters Inc. is currently rebranding itself after reciving federal bailout money.

UP was just a long-form infomercial for the Balloon Manufacturers Association of America.

And Wall-E  is "fattist."

Surprised to see Ratalouie so far down--I'd put it in the top three at least.
