How I rank the Pixar movies
by jonathan-e-denny | created - 26 Jun 2012 | updated - 13 Jun 2016 | PublicPixar Animation studios is probably the one of the best Hollywood companies, if not the best, to this day. Not ONE Pixar movie is bad. Yes, some are worst than others, but I have liked every movie I have seen. So without further ado, I shall show you how I rank the movies. PLEASE NOTE: I personally take animated movies seriously. Most people look at these as "kid movies" but there is so much depth to them, that I cannot call them that.

In my opinion, this is the best Pixar movie. Many disagree, they like Nemo and Wall-E and Toy Story, but Brad Bird's Ratatouille is just beautiful. The Story is completely fresh, and its fabulous. The music is incredible, and everything from voice acting to animation to me just stands out beyond the other movies. Its funny, its sad, its dramatic, and makes you hungry. It's the Best.
2. The Incredibles (2004)
PG | 115 min | Animation, Action, Adventure

Again, Brad Bird. The man just makes great movies. And this is James Bond meets superman meets family. Not only is the story so intriguing, but its so real at times. All the family interactions and husband and wife confrontations are so real. It has its funny moments, and its an "incredible" action film.
3. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
G | 92 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy

Votes: 979,318 | Gross: $289.92M
By far the funniest Pixar movie, and the cutest with Boo. Billy Crystal and John Goodman rule in it, and the story is so different and amazing.
4. Up (2009)

Votes: 1,125,509 | Gross: $293.00M
Okay, I'm going to bet shorter now, but this movie is more of an adult movie, and that is what makes it so breathtaking. Its just beautiful. First Pixar movie that I cried in.
5. WALL·E (2008)
G | 98 min | Animation, Adventure, Family
In the distant future, a small waste-collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.

Votes: 1,200,942 | Gross: $223.81M
A beautifully animated movie that proves you don't need a ton of dialogue to make an amazing movie. Just two robots in space.
6. Toy Story 3 (2010)
G | 103 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy

Votes: 892,816 | Gross: $415.00M
For some reason, critics say this is the best pixar. I can agree its an great movie, but not the best. But I think thats only because I saw it 4 times in the theater...
7. Toy Story (1995)
G | 81 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy

Votes: 1,069,012 | Gross: $191.80M
The first Pixar ever made, and many say the best. But probably due to my childhood obsession with it, I don't like it as much as other. But its still boss!
8. Finding Nemo (2003)
G | 100 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
After his son is captured in the Great Barrier Reef and taken to Sydney, a timid clownfish sets out on a journey to bring him home.

Votes: 1,113,819 | Gross: $380.84M
So many people like this movie, and I do too, but thanks to some of my family members obsession with it, I have lost a lot of the love I used to have for it. But that doesn't take away that its a fabulous film!

This movie gets a lot of rap for not being that good, but I strongly disagree. The story in this movie is extremely fresh and exciting. And I still to this day think that the Academy Awards shot themselves in the foot for picking that stupid movie "Happy Feet".....which should be called more like "Humans stink"....
10. Brave (2012)

Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.

Votes: 442,443 | Gross: $237.28M
Just saw this in Theaters and was very impressed. The Animation and especially the music. The story was new to Pixar, so I liked that element and a lot of the Mother-Daughter moments were extremely realistic. I left the theater saying it was in my top 5, but it hard to look back at the other Pixar's and put it in front of them...
11. A Bug's Life (1998)

A misfit ant, looking for "warriors" to save his colony from greedy grasshoppers, recruits a group of bugs that turn out to be an inept circus troupe.

Votes: 314,626 | Gross: $162.80M
This movie is extremely funny and cleverly written, but for some reason, I get bored sometimes watching it.....which is kinda sad...
12. Toy Story 2 (1999)

Yes. This is the worst pixar movie to date. But just because its the worst doesn't make it a Bad movie. It's actually a pretty good movie! But when you compare it to other ones, it falls short.
