Author Topic: Pick your 3 favorite Pixar films! (Read 1431 times)

I ran a Pixar survivor on here ages ago, but with new ones coming out since then, I wanted to make a simple poll. Select your 3 favorite Pixar movies. I haven't seen Cars 2, Brave, nor The Good Dinosaur yet. It feels like such a crime having to exclude others. I know the favorites are usually Toy Story (Take your fucking pick!) and Finding Nemo. I think Ratatouille and The Incredibles are massively underrated. WALL-E is amazing too. A Bug's Life and Cars are ones I've never been fully keen on, and Monsters University, I thought was a pretty good sequel actually.

My Top 3:

1. Up
2. Monsters, Inc.
3. Ratatouille

Inside Out probably outside looking in..

Which is kind of funny cause Pete Docter directed Up, Monsters, Inc., AND Inside Out. So yeah, he's definitely my favorite Pixar director.

1. The Incredibles

1. Up, because of feels

2. Toy Story 2, because of nostalgia
3. Wall-E, because of space

3 is way too hard.

I ended up choosing Toy Story, Wall-E and Inside Out.

I want to add in Incredibles, but blah, it's a Sophie's choice.

Calvin6s · « **Reply #4 on:** February 28, 2016, 12:33:43 AM »

I went with 2:
Toy Story and Wall-E because as much as I like almost all Pixar movies, those are just on a different level for me. There was no clear 3rd option, so I kept it to 2.

Bolsters · « **Reply #5 on:** February 28, 2016, 12:49:25 AM »

I've only seen two of them.

Up

I recently saw Inside Out and absolutely loved it, brilliant movie

, but I haven't seen a lot of other Pixar movies so I went with just Inside Out

ThatOneGuy2112 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 28, 2016, 03:07:56 PM »

Toy Story
The Incredibles
Up

Third spot was a toss up between Up, WALL-E, and Monsters, Inc. Boiling it down to just 3 was very difficult.

MrBoom_shack-a-lack · « **Reply #13 on:** February 28, 2016, 03:56:06 PM »

I just love Wall-E! Seeing the behind the scenes on how much work they put on making Wall-E convey emotions is just amazing which of course they do with all their movies but making a tincan belivable is diffrent to me.

Outcrier · « **Reply #14 on:** February 28, 2016, 05:15:30 PM »

Toy Story 1 and 2
Inside Out

Near voted for Wall-E but Toy Story 2 nostalgia won.

lucky7 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 28, 2016, 05:28:37 PM »

1. Toy Story
2. Inside Out
3. Finding Nemo

It would have been easy to just go with Toy Story 1,2 & 3 but I can't go past one. So hard to pick, Pixar have so many great films!

BlackInk · « **Reply #16 on:** February 29, 2016, 04:47:08 AM »

Inside Out and The Incredibles are the obvious ones for me. The third choice was harder to choose, and I could have gone with a few different ones. Went with Finding Nemo though.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #17 on:** February 29, 2016, 05:53:58 AM »

Finding Nemo is an awesome movie and I can watch it over and over. Ellen DeGeneres was hysterical and the geek in me loved that Eric Bana from Troy and Bruce Spence from Return of the King did voices in the movie.

kaos2900 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 29, 2016, 06:41:08 AM »

This was tough. Haven't seen good dinosaur yet but from what I've heard it's not top 3 so my choices were

1. Finding Nemo
2. Inside Out
3. Monsters Inc.

I'd be curious to see what people think are the 3 worst pixar films. I'm assuming Cars and Cars 2 would be on most everyone's list. I bought Cars and Cars 2 just complete my Pixar collection. We watched Cars and I thought it was so bad we've never watched Cars 2. I know they made a tone of money of them so I just view them as films to fund better future films.

BlackInk · « **Reply #19 on:** February 29, 2016, 08:25:19 AM »

Haven't seen Cars 2, but it looks terrible. But I always did like the first one. Don't get the hate for it.

bosk1 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 29, 2016, 11:09:19 AM »

Finding Nemo is just terrific. I have watched it so many times, and it never gets old. Although the movies that preceded it were also terrific, this is where Pixar really started to hit their stride, to me.

Toy Story 3: If people want to learn how to write a trilogy without any of the three films falling flat or feeling like a sell-out or shark-jump, they really need to do an in-depth study on the Toy Story films. They are all fantastic. I am still amazed that they brought such brilliant closure to the series with this film.

Cars: Just fun, from start to finish. I love it.

Some of the others I was really struggling with that almost made the cut were Up, Inside Out, and Monsters, Inc. These were all close and just barely got edged out.

If I had to pick my three least favorite, Wall-E would definitely be my least. And I guess I would round out my "bottom 3" with A Bug's Life and Cars 2. But the problem is, I really enjoy both of those a lot and am only including them because the other films I have seen in the Pixar catalog are so strong (no comment on Dinosaur, since I have not seen it yet). For those that said they did not see Cars 2 because it looked like it wouldn't be any good, you are missing out. I liked it a lot.

I'm actually surprised Toy Story 3 hasn't gotten more votes, I thought it would be a big favorite. And while there are definetely parts of Toy Story 2 that are good, I remember not really liking that movie overall.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #22 on:** February 29, 2016, 04:27:03 PM »

It goes to how strong most of the Pixar movies are.

Outcrier · « **Reply #23 on:** February 29, 2016, 07:36:54 PM »

Also got a soft spot for A Bug's Life, first movie i saw in cinema when i was a kid. For those who not know it, it's basically Seven Samurai/Three Amigos with insects.

If you don't know already they are working on Toy Story 4!

Pretty accurate way to describe it really.

Lucien · « **Reply #27 on:** March 01, 2016, 12:41:14 AM »

1. The Incredibles
2. Ratatouille
3. Toy Story 3

So many fucking good movies up there though. The Incredibles and Ratatouille are my biggest favorites, but 5 of the choices could have fit into #3.

I'm only terrified. That's an awful idea.

In regards to Toy Story 4, I've read interviews where they said they had no intention to do another film but that they came up with such a good story idea they couldn't resist. I trust Pixar.

This exactly. Kind of like Marvel Studios, I will trust them until they give me reason not to do so, which hasn't happened yet.

bosk1 · « **Reply #31 on:** March 01, 2016, 08:24:54 AM »

Yeah, if they feel like they have a strong enough story to do it, then cool. Toy Story 3 had such epic and complete closure that it makes me a bit apprehensive. But if it is done well, that shouldn't undermine 3. Rather than being closure for the series, I guess it would just transform into closure for this chapter, and on into the next one, which really is an appropriate emotion in the context of what the series has set up so far.
