We went to see the latest Pixar film Up over the weekend with Tim and the girls. Yet another home run for Pixar. It was very funny, but also, in Pixar tradition, a great and touching story. The girls thought it was hilarious. They kept freezing and suddenly saying “Squirrel” for the next 24 hours.
Pixar has made ten movies now, since 1995. It made me wonder how I would rank them. I realize its kind of a silly question because I think I would give four stars to all ten of them. It’s like asking me to pick my favorite child — wait… maybe I could do that… kidding! Anyway, if I had to rank them they would be as follows:
- Toy Story
- Toy Story 2
- The Incredibles
- Finding Nemo
- Up
- A Bug’s Life
- WALL-E
- Ratatouille
- Monsters Inc.
- Cars
Admittedly, I don’t think anything could move Toy Story from the top of the list. It was just so amazing when I first saw it, being the computer geek that I am. So the sheer fact that Pixar had the guts to make it and start the whole computer generated animation movie trend will keep it up there forever. It also doesn’t hurt that the story is still one of the best ones as well. Can’t wait for Toy Story 3 next year…
