Top 5 Pixar Movies

Thirty-one Pixar films to choose from, and we only agreed on one.

Jeff's picks

1
Inside Out (2015)
Maybe the Pixar movie he knows best after countless viewings. Witty, and great for emotional insight.
2
Coco (2017)
A great, heartfelt story and one of his favorite soundtracks. The family still sings it at random.
3
WALL-E (2008)
Almost no dialogue and still extremely engaging. From the opening scene with Hello, Dolly! you know he's full of love.
4
Monsters University (2013)
Standing in for the whole Monsters franchise. He actually enjoys it a little more than Monsters, Inc.
5
Toy Story 3 (2010)
The ending really hit him at the time. It felt like the right place to wrap up the series.

Matt's picks

1
WALL-E (2008)
So clever and so unique, and still nothing else like it. Admirable that there's no WALL-E 2.
2
Toy Story 2 (1999)
The tightest of the Toy Story films. Zurg, Al's Toy Barn, and fun from end to end.
3
Up (2009)
Hilarious and heartfelt, with memorable visuals. The mechanical engineer in him still questions the balloon math.
4
The Incredibles (2004)
A fresh spin on superheroes before the Marvel wave, with great action and voice work.
5
Ratatouille (2007)
Not his thing at first, but he's come to really appreciate how unique and well made it is.

The only film on both lists is WALL-E. We both think Pixar's early run is hard to beat, though Jeff gave honorable mentions to Hoppers and Inside Out 2.
