My vote is for "Monsters Inc" ... it still makes me laugh.

"Finding Nemo" remains the most wonderful and genuinely moving film I have ever seen.

A Bug's Life is my "favorite", however, I don't think it was the most well-written or animated. I'm just partial to it for various personal reasons.

I think Monsters, Inc was probably the coolest for storyline. Toy Story (and its excellent sequel) for characters. I love superhero/villain stories so the Incredibles gets my vote for setting/theme. Finding Nemo was pretty but I found it a little lacking. I haven't even bothered to see Cars yet a second time.

What else did they make, lol. ;) I went to Cal Arts with a couple of guys who went on to work for Pixar; I always enjoy looking for their names in the credits.

My top 3 is:

1. Cars.
2. Finding Nemo.
3. Toy Story _1_. I think it's better than 2.

Pixar has made: Toy Story, Tory Story 2, A Bug's life, The Incredibles, Cars, Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc.

I think that's about it. Even without Pixar, Disney has proven they can still make succesful CG movies like "Chicken Little".

Most other CG companies have made crappy knock off CG flicks, with only a couple being big hits like "Madagasgar", otherwise you get junk like "Shark Tale".

The only non Disney CG movie I saw that I REALLY loved was "Over the Hedge" and that was by Dreamworks. I just totally fell in love with that movie.

NO. :p That was precisely what I was trying to avoid: meshing in all the other GCI flicks with Pixar. *points to first post*

I second that. This was the movie that had me wondering when I first watched it: how do they come up with this stuff?

I'm gonna have to agree with DoubleLatte--these days, nobody compares to Pixar. NOBODY.

The Shrek films have become a huge success--and the second having outgrossed the highest grossing Pixar film so far--and some of the other DreamWorks pictures are good as well. But they don't have the genuinity and pure HEART that Pixar has.

The best part of Pixar films is the "bloopers" at the end. That makes the whole movie worthwhile in my opinion.

I think it was on one of the commentaries (or movie reviews; I keep forgetting where I heard) that that was the exact reason why Pixar films were so successful: their story. They manage to pull off heart without the saccharine overload or those really awkward "we're trying VERY hard to please you!" moments. And I consider it a blessing when I hear something else other than mainstream radio pop music or shameless advertisement in a film (Shrek being the only exception because it felt more like a satire of mainstream culture, e.i., a Starbucks on every corner). When we see an original storyline that isn't a recycled version of a previous film or based on a childrens' story book it's a fresh breath of air, particularly now that CGI films are coming out faster than we can cope. I swear, I've seen so many trailers on tv, I have no idea what's what or who made it. Either way, they all seem about the same to me; I stopped keeping track after I watched Madagascar. :p

GrimTheLost: I loved the bloopers from A Bug's Life. I never expected to see all these little bugs as actors screwing up their lines, laughing and becoming tired; particularly Hopper!

Oh lord, can't choose. PIXAR RULES ALL AND THEY ARE ALL AWESOME.

Cars was better than most non-Pixar CGIs, but it wasn't as great as the rest of Pixar's films.

Pixar rules because "Story is king". Yes.

Not much more to say. Pixar owns the butts of all others, and yay for typing the word Pixar in each of my short sentances. *waits for PBL to type her standard hooj post*
