I haven't seen a Pixar film I didn't like. I f I had to pick one, I'd go with The Incredibles... or Wall-E... or Toy Story 3. Dammit, can't decide.

Some combination of the concepts, characters, scoring, and humour of The Incredibles puts it at the top of my list. Plus it came out when I was mature enough to appreciate the merits of films, rather than just liking it because of bright lights and noises.
Finding Nemo has its good and bad parts, Cars is below par and all of the voice acting irritates me, and Toy Story's always been a bit dark - first time I saw Toy Story, it was at the age where it was able to TERRIFY ME. I don't think I ever gave Wall-E a proper watch, and I've yet to see Toy Story 3. Up was amazing too, but in a different way than the Incredibles, and the Incredibles wins out.

huh, I always forget about ratatouille, but I think its because its the only Pixar film I didn't see at the cinema and didn't leave that much of an impression on me
As for me, while most of my friends give me wierd looks for it, it has to be cars, I just really enjoyed it from start to finish, and adored a lot of the little touches, like the mountains shaped like cars, the little "beetle" cars as insects and so on.
However I didn't enjoy cars 2... it just felt like they wanted to do a whole other spy movie but the marketing guys said "but cars merchandise sells so well!", which it does, I've worked in retail enough over the last few years to know that. Wierd part is if they just did the world championship part, made that the movie I'd probably have loved it
I'd never call any Pixar movie bad, but the one I enjoyed least was The Incredibles, which thankfully most of my friends agree on too unlike my enjoyment of cars. I can't place why, I saw it at the cinema with all my friends and we all came out of it feeling... well nothing. All the way through I was expecting that special something to hit me as all Pixar movies do at times, yes even cars 2 and ratatouille, but nothing. I was just left with a nothing opinion on it and having a not very entertaining time at the cinema. Each to thier own it just didn't click for me

It's a tie between the Incredibles and Wall-E. Both amazing films that I enjoy as much now as when I saw them first, although for those 2 that wasn't really that long ago, so its not much of a nosalgia factor.
Toy Story however, that is more than a film to me. I think it is safe to say it influenced my childhood as much as my first years of school. It was one of the few films we had as children and it was always my favourite...
I really don't think I can describe how much that film is part of my growing up. It goes beyond mere 'favourite Pixar film'. It's one of those rare films that has no connection to any of its creators or those involved with it, it stands out on its own, high above everything else.
I fucking love that film.
And the sequels certainly aren't bad either.

It's too tough to call- either the Toy Story Trilogy or the Incredibles. I liked them all except for WALL-E and UP. Both of those fell apart after the amazing intro, with a villain that I couldn't even see as evil. I liked WALL-E better back when it was called Short Circuit, and as for UP- I like my adventure films to... you know... actually have some sort of adventure in them.
That intro was amazing and easily my favorite thing they've done...and then the rest of the movie happened and ruined it all. It was just too silly and too goofy, and the drastic change in tone was too much for me to be able to enjoy it. The intro on its own would be my favorite, but the rest of the movie is near the bottom.crazyarms33 said:
Only taking full movies into account, The Incredibles still wins for me. Between that and Iron Giant (which I may actually like even more...hard to decide), Brad Bird made a pretty big impression on me.
Right now I suppose it would be Finding Nemo or Cars 1. But I'm waiting for Brave to come out. That's going to be awesome I think! ^_^ And it'll be the first time Pixar has starred a girl which will just make it all the better.
Up? Toy Story 3? Wall-E? A Bug's Life? Monsters Inc?
HOW DO I CHOOOSE???
Hell, just scenes that have brought me to tears has Toy Story 2 and 3 (you know which scenes. Don't pretend.) and the opening scenes of Up mark them as forever unforgettable. The entire first Toy Story stands as something that has changed my life. This is impossible to choose between.
No wonder Pixar doesn't do multiple movies a year. Our collective minds would break.

Yeesh, why must I choose??? >_<
Mmm...I'm going to have to give the crown to the ones that made me teary. Toy Story 3 (particularly that resigned bit near the end. If you've seen it, you know what scene I'm talking about), Finding Nemo ("Daddy's here", both near the beginning and the end), Up (The same scene at the beginning that gets everyone else), WALL-E (What can I say, the aftermath of the repair-bit at the end got to me). Don't get me wrong, like many others, I love most of them, but my hat has to go off to those for their cathartic scenes. If you forced me to choose among those though, I'd probably have to go with TS3, simply because the Spanish addition was fun to watch, made more interesting by the fact that they chose a Castillian variation for it.

Shark Tale was from Dreamworks, not Pixar.Regnes said:
Wall-E's my favorite, though an honorable mention goes to Cars. Not for being second best, but because I honestly thought it was going to be terrible and it still managed to be a decent movie that's easily stronger than the very best most film makers are capable of.
Honest to God, I cannot choose. I really like them all equally. There things I do and don't like in all of them. I could say up, since it was the one that tugged on my heartstrings the most, but the ending of Toy Story 3 wrecked me pretty bad. It's a tough choice.
This is a tough one. I loved UP!, The Toy Story movies were staples of my childhood, I've recently come to respect and enjoy A Bug's Life for it being a spiritual remake of The Seven Samurai...
I think I'd have to go with Wall-E. For one, I love robots. For two, save for the first scene of UP!, it has some of the best emotion-invoking imagery in any film I've ever seen. Nearly a third of the movie has no dialogue, yet everything is conveyed perfectly with visuals and music. That movie moves me every time I see it.
Now, since this is a Pixar thread, I might as well ask this now, anyone get a weird Uncanny Valley feeling watching Toy Story? I know, first CG movie ever made, at-the-time groundbreaking technology, etc. It just unsettles me a bit with some of the facial expressions.
