In a little bit over two months, Pixar will release their highly-anticipated 11th feature film, Toy Story 3, taking them back to the characters that started it all. I will celebrate the release of that movie (my most anticipated movie of the year, and easily the movie I’ve anticipated the most in my life) here in form of a trip down memory lane relating to the previous two movies. But for now, I thought it is the perfect time to rank the 10 films that Pixar has released so far.
As I said on my post about what Pixar should do about its future, I stated that the studio is the best animation studio currently working. Every release has been excellent, with one notable exception. What makes them stand appart from other studios like Dreamworks and Blue Sky is that the most important thing to them is the story and the vision of the director. Unless either one of those things is not good, they will not give the project the green light. And the greatness of this process of approval is shown in the final product. Every single movie from them (even the weaker one) has been critically acclaimed, has gotten at least one Oscar nomination, and have become box office hits. Plus, they capture my imagination every time I watch them. Now they are opening their doors to more filmmakers, and I can’t wait to see where Pixar goes from here.
So now, I present my ranked list of the 10 films Pixar has released so far.
P.S. I know Pixar has been around more than 15 years, but it is the 15th anniversary of Toy Story.
