In case anyone missed it, I was discussing the creative genius of Pixar yesterday over at the Inkwell. Two things happened after I finished the post. First, my creative partner Dave said the artist in him would have liked to have seen some concrete examples of the things I was talking about. This got me all hungry to write a follow-up. Also at the end of the post, I suggested that I might, at some point in the future, attempt to rank the Pixar filmography from ten to one with my favorite at the top.
What better time is there to do a top ten than right after the release of the tenth film? It was suggested by both Kool Aid and Tara that I would only open myself up to a beating as everyone’s personal list was bound to be different, and I would only invite the anger of all by not choosing to place their particular favorite up at the top.
While I do agree somewhat, I also believe we as humans love lists, if for no other reason than to pick them apart and tell the author why they’re wrong. It’s in our nature. In the last year I’ve written scant few, especially around these parts. Yes, this list would probably have been different if I wrote it a week ago, and it will probably alter by the next time I lend it a thought, but for now – here are my favorite Pixar films ordered from ten to one, one being my favorite.
10) Cars. I’ve seen all ten Pixar flicks in the theater, and this is the one I enjoyed least while hugging my tub of corn. It’s also the one that has endeared itself to me most after its migration to my living room. My son has also seen all the Pixar movies, but this one is his favorite, just as it is the favorite of every boy under five I have ever met. Pixar obviously knows something I do not. Cars speaks to them in a way that none of the other films do (at least not yet). Cars is a vision with vibrant scenery and fleshed out characters, flashing by the screen with a simple message delivered well. I do love that my boy loves it and it does make me love it a little more, but if I’m being honest, there is something about Cars that just doesn’t quite click for me the way the other Pixar films do. I’ve no hesitation in placing it at 10.
9) A Bugs Life. I actually feel bad placing this one at #9 as I don’t think it gets nearly the love it deserves. I think A Bug’s Life is an amazing film and it is a true testimony to the 8 films below that such a phenomenal flick would be #9 on any top ten list. A Bug’s Life is a loose remake of the Magnificent Seven (which itself was a remake of Kirosawa’s 7 Samarai) by way of the Aesop’s fable, The Ant and the Grasshopper. At the time of it’s theatrical release, A Bug’s Life fell unfortunately under the shadow of DreamWorks Animation’s “me too” movie, Antz. Kevin Spacey is pretty much the most awesome villain ever as Hopper, the evil ringleader grasshopper, and Dennis Leary plays the best ladybug in cinematic history. Having recently watched Antz, it’s remarkable how poorly it has ripened compared to A Bug’s Life one dozen years later.
8) UP. This ranking might change a second after I give the DVD its first spin. Since I know the UK readers haven’t yet seen it, I don’t want to discuss the one issue I had with this film, especially since I’m sure my objection will get rinsed from my critique as soon as I see it a second time. I also don’t want to say specifically what my favorite thing about the film is, but I will say this: If the subsequent 75 minutes of UP were as good as the first 15 minutes, I would eagerly consider UP among the top ten films of all time. Yes, the first act is that good.
7) Ratatouille. I was foaming at the mouth to see this one when it came out. Not only because my children were both finally old enough to sit through a feature film for the first time since my daughter was a zygote, but because I needed something to prove to me that Cars was the black sheep of the Pixar family and that they were perfectly capable of bringing their A game. This movie WOWED me. Not only is it jaw droppingly gorgeous, but the score is absolute magic. The message of the film, “Anyone can cook” is elegantly simple. I believe it to my core and would also add that most any verb would work (anyone can write, for example). There is a two minute segment toward the end with a voice over given by the critic “Anton Ego” that reduces me to tears every time. Ratatouille is delicious.
6) Monsters Inc. I have a rather embarrassing confession to make. In a year that gave us both Monsters Inc. and Shrek, I actually preferred Shrek. I know, I know, what in Monstropolis was I thinking. Totally ridiculous. One is filled with cheap pop culture references while the other is rich in subtext, slipped subtly into Pixar’s candy colored shell. Monsters Inc. might be the best example of Pixar’s perfect blend of childhood heart and adult intelligence. Who else could deliver a movie about an energy crisis, rolling blackouts and industrial espionage set inside an electric world inhabited by the monsters who live in our closet? Oh, and that scene at the end with the million moving doors. I wish you could hear me whistle (actually, I’d be happy if I could actually whistle).
5) Toy Story. I know, I know, the one that started it all is midway down the list. We’re talking Pixar here though, so really we’re talking subtle degrees of absolute perfection. And while there may be more significant historical value in placing Toy Story higher on the list, I’m only accounting for the enjoyment I feel while watching these films. For me, Toy Story drags for a few minutes up in Sid’s room. Having said that, let’s bust out with a brief history lesson. When Walt Disney first unveiled Snow White back in 1937, he proved that animation could tell a feature length story with real emotion and human characters. Animation rolled along the same paradigm until Pixar came along in ’95 to redefine the art form. Fifteen years later, it still holds every pixel of its magic.
4) WALL-E. I think what I love most about Wall-E is the many risks it turns to reward. Not only does the first third of the movie start out as a nearly silent pantomime between two non English speaking robots, but the film itself is (though child friendly) the sort of straight up science fiction that rarely makes it to the theater. I can’t imagine any other studio being able to pull this film off. Not only does WALL-E have a telltale message hinting at a bleak possibility for our collective future, it also has an emotional purity that is all to rare in commercial art today.
3) Finding Nemo. Imagine if Finding Nemo didn’t star talking fish, but humans instead. That would be one heck of an intense thriller. This film plays right to the heart of every parent – what mom or dad hasn’t harbored the fear that their child will suddenly disappear. Finding Nemo is equally a cautionary tale for children. I cannot count the number of times Cindy or I have said something like, “Do you remember when Nemo didn’t listen?” Instant metaphor – picture drawn. Pixar packed Finding Nemo with action, adventure, and gorgeous underwater set pieces that were slightly better than the rest of that summer put together.
2) The Incredibles. Pixar’s first PG movie is (for my money) the best super hero movie ever made. It has shades of the Watchmen, but with hope instead of anger. Nothing in this movie is a pixel less than perfect. I am dying to see a sequel. I’m sure it’s on the drawing board, but it cannot come one second too soon. The Dark Knight was an unbelievable experience, but the freedom afforded by animation made the Incredibles untouchable. This film was everything the Fantastic Four movie should have been, though that particular product didn’t even deserve to orbit the same star. Not only is The Incredibles the best super hero movie I’ve ever seen, it also has a message about staying true to yourself and embracing your potential that I just absolutely love. My favorite line? “If everyone is special, then that means that no one is.”
1) Toy Story 2. Sequels are rarely better than the original. The Dark Knight, The Godfather II, Terminator 2; The Empire Strikes Back, Aliens, um… I’m sure I could be enlightened to a few more, but Toy Story was a game changer and Toy Story 2 came along and did it all again but better. Toy Story 2 takes the same characters and gives them an equally engaging adventure while amping up the funny, introducing new faces, and moving the entire film along at a speedier clip. This film is as good as it gets. As much as we are collectively justified in loathing the third entry in a franchise, I’ve little doubt Toy Story 3 will be the best threequel ever made.
Someday soon I’ll write about all the Pixar projects I’m looking forward to.
About Sean Platt
I could absolutely not rate them – at least not my top 5 (for which I would swap out Wall-E for Toy Story)
The appeal for these films for me (and all my family) is the fact that we can watch them over and over and never get bored and always get something new out of them.
Also, where Pixar really shine is their choice of voice ‘talent’. It never overshadows the character, but serves to enhance and bring them to life.
The Toy Story characters, Dory in Nemo, mum and dad Incredible, Sulley in Monsters Inc; I bought into each and every one of those characters.
Brave attempt at a top 10 but I feel compelled to say ’tish and pish dear sir, tish and pish’! x

Cool list. I’ve watched all but Up and Ratatouille and all before my son was born. For me Monsters, Inc. would have to be higher. Although, my personal rankings may change when I invariably watch them again through the lens of fatherhood.

Tough call on what my favorite one is, either Monsters Inc. or Finding Nemo. It is incredibly cute to hear a 3 year old say Mike Wizowski.

Thanks for taking us up on our call for your top 10 Sean. Very insightful.
Unfortunately, and unless something has changed recently, Pixar have stated that there will be no sequel to The Incredibles. Mandy and I are gutted.
I was going to fill up your comment box with quotes from that movie but Kat is right, you can’t beat Boo’s “Mike Wizowski” :)

I liked “Ratatouille” very much – and kinda feel like a heel for saying it – but somehow it lacked the punch of the other Pixar films for me. And for some reason, “Wall-E” also sorta crept up on me rather than riveting me to my seat – neither of those seemed to grab me at the same level as have so many of the others movies. I appreciate their subtlety, undeniable artistry & style, and fantastic, uplifting messages, but they’re just not as much fun for me as so many of the other Pixar gems.

Tara: It’s funny. I was already rearranging them in my head last night as I fell to sleep. For sure the list is written in jello, I just thought it would be a fun exercise to jot my thoughts, no matter how transient. You’re right about the voice talent. Never in a million years would I have thought to cast Tim Allen as the voice of Buzz Lightyear, but never in a million years can I imagine anyone doing it better.
PJ: They totally change through the eyes of fatherhood, as do most things. I enjoy them more. As much as I loved them before, seeing them with the depth that comes with being a parent is entirely different for sure.
Kat: LOL! So true. I LOVE hearing my children say Mike Wizowski. My son went through a phase where he sang Boo’s song all the time. It was the most adorable thing pretty much ever.
Marc: Pshaw. Don’t believe a word. Pixar has also stated that there would never be a Toy Story 3. It’s coming out next year. There would never be a Monsters Inc. 2. Pete Doctor has said that he would like for it to be his next project. They were not going to make John Carter of Mars even though they owned the film rights. They just signed a 9 month lease in Utah for principle photography. They weren’t interested in doing digital effects for other studios. They are working with Warner Bros. to create a vintage San Fransisco for 1906. They also said “No more sequels!” about five minutes before announcing Cars 2. Add to that, Brad Bird has publicly said he longs to do an Incredibles sequel right after his dream project “Raygun” is finished and that the characters never age and can thus be picked up any time and uh… yeah, we’ll see a sequel. : > )
Rob O: Question. Have you revisited those films? Both of those, for me, have grown immeasurably in my estimation with each viewing. Granted, I have children and we watch movies every Friday. Pixar is often chosen so I’ve had plenty of time with each, but they are each one a lot better than I gave them credit for when first leaving the theater.

No no no, I soo disagree with your list Sean. IMO:
Ratatouille is the BEST pixar movie ever. Like you said, it`s delicious and funny, and with a beuatiful message and I just love, love, love it.
Next Finding Nemo, it`s the funniest to me.
The others are too hard to rate :P
Anyway, thanks for talking about them, they`re all great. I enjoyed and smiled all the while reading this :)

@Sean I never bought into that “no sequels” crap. I mean they had already done Toy Story 2, how can they say “no sequels”?
When it came to The Incredibles though, every interview I’ve read with Brad he’s stated that he would only do it “if the story was right and so far the story isn’t right”.
1906 is Brad’s pet project. They have to work with WB, they don’t have the resources to do it themselves. Last I heard 1906 had been shelved, the sound stages had been freed up. Something to do with Brad’s screenplay being over-ambitious.
I really hope they make a sequel though :)

hi,Sean. I am embarrassed to admit that I, the eternal kid have still not seen WALL-E, cars, or UP. When I saw Toy Story 2 , I was filled with giddiness and adrenaline and anticipation for the whole movie. The overwhelming texture and colors and manic energy that pervaded the whole movie was like a bag of halloween candy eaten all at once! It was an E-ticket all the way! I love pixar and am so happy that you showed the lamps. You were just a child when we went to the animation festival and were given the treat of the first pixar gem ever. It only gets better! (love my new computer-two days old!) luv ya, mom.

I can’t put my finger on it, but I like Monsters, WALL-E, and Toy Story, way less than UP, the Incredibles, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, and Cars. I haven’t seen Toy Story 2, so it sounds like I missed out. My top 3 are The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and Up, as measured by the ones I’d quickly see again.

Sean, you should write a movie column! I was just passing by, but couldn’t pull away from reading everything on this post page. I guess most of that is because I’m a die hard Pixar fan as well.
Anyway, mo favorite of the bunch would probably be The Incredibles, but I’ve yet to see UP. WALL-E was OK, but not my favorite and I felt that Finding Nemo dragged at times.
Montsters Inc. was awesome, not only story wise, but it was the beginning of the uber awesome individual hair animation. A big deal back then!
Anyway, excellent subject and you totally did it justice. Eric

I pretty much agree with your rankings (although I haven’t seen Cars, so can’t really say for sure about that one). Toy Story 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen, forget that it’s animated and a sequel. It was practically perfection and, come to think of it, it’s been far too long since I’ve seen it.
But one other thing you forgot? I know this was about the feature length films, but don’t forget their shorts. Oh, my, they are almost every one purely perfect. I love them. Brilliant and funny, with a little bittersweet mixed in.

Cant profess to know enough to butt in on your list. I have a thing against buying videos… but Nemo and Incredibles have an honoured place on our limited shelf space. They are appealing over and over too.

Not nearly the heated and opinionated discussion I was expecting :D I haven’t seen UP yet, so I can’t include that with my list, and while Wall-E was good, I think that would be my #9. After that, the movies and rankings ebb and flow like eddies in a river. There’s no way I could designate numbers to the rest.
You made a fine list with excellent descriptions and reasonings for ranking them. I retract all the grief I gave you before about ranking the Pixar masterpieces :)

Ranking Pixar is like choosing between my kids. Not saying I can’t do it, just that every day a different one comes out ahead :D
But I did put Ratatouille and The Incredibles in a post about kids movies that adults love, so I guess they’re my personal top two.

You’ve got my daughter’s top 10 favorites listed here (except for Up, which we haven’t seen yet), and they are my top 10 favs too (just in different orders). Actually the picture you used of the lights is one of my toddler’s favorite short Pixar films. When I put that DVD on she wants to watch that film about five times before we can let the rest of the DVD play out.
Right now, however, she is in love with The Bee Movie. We watch it several times a week, and so far I’m not sick of it. I guess that says how great it is!

Rosa: Ratatouille is awesome, and it does everything perfectly, but it just doesn’t seem as universal to me. I think the best of Pixar speaks to children and adults in equal measure. I think Ratatouille has a louder voice for children.
Marc: 1906, I believe, will be revisited later. Its budget was 150 mil. which was too much considering the recession. I believe they will make it. And Raygun. And every other cool thing. We just have to wait.
Mom: Find your remote and I’ll loan you WALL-E. I will always remember seeing that Pixar short for the first time. Thank you for the exposure. You should have bought a Mac. : > )
J.D. Dude, you HAVE to see Toy Story 2! Right now, go to Netflix and put it on your queue. Come back next week and tell me what you think. It. Is. Awesome.
Eric: I would freaking LOVE to write a movie column. I’ve often thought about it. Maybe once iPhone Uno is a regular thing, I’ll get to it. : > )
Deb: Toy Story 2 is so awesome it should be illegal. Seriously. See it again this weekend. I could never forget about their shorts. We watch them all the time, and I was in love with their three minute bliss long before I was in love with their movies. In fact, I think it would be awesome to write about my favorite shorts. Maybe I should just make July Pixar month at Writer Dad!
Trina: Trina… tsk, tsk, tsk. Don’t they have Netflix in Canada? You’ve got to see the Pixar filmography. They’re worth your time, each and every one.
Kool Aid: Have you seen WALL-E more than once? For me, better every time. Though of course, I could say that about the lot of them. Eddies in a river… I LOVE that. So true.
Meredith: HA! So. True. Both are masterpieces, but like I said to Rosa, I just have to hand the top spot to a movie that could work equally well for both sides of puberty. I think that’s Toy Story 2.
Kimberly: The Bee movie was great. I enjoyed it about as much as I enjoy most Dreamworks animation movies, which is a lot… but not nearly as much as the perfection of Pixar. : > )

As a little kid watching the “Bugs Bunny and Road Runner Show” and “The Flintstones” my stomach churned a little whenever I pondered the idea I would have to give up my beloved cartoons someday, when I grew up. It’s so nice companies like Pixar have sprung up to make cartoons (basically, that’s what they are) adults can enjoy too, just in case any of us actually get around to growing up.

Writer Dad, I love your list of Pixar faves. Pixar has got to be the greatest thing that has ever happened to 3-D cinematic entertainment. As I was reading your post, all of the memories came rushing back. I love Pixar and one day, I’m buying all the movies on blu-ray (already have Wall-E, but I want them ALL!).
I just can’t stop smiling now (too psyched for Toy Story 3). Thanks for the post.

What you said about Up intrigued me. I loved it in certain ways, but I thought it betrayed its female character.
