In honor of the release of Toy Story 4, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday goes over the best Disney·Pixar movies of all-time. Everyone has a favorite or preference, so this list could certainly vary greatly; and of course, enjoyable movies were left off the top ten entirely. There are no big spoilers, so feel free to read without caution.
10. Inside Out (2015)
The most recent movie aside from Toy Story 4 to make the TTT, Inside Out is an imaginative movie that goes inside the head of an 11-year-old girl. The colors and visuals displaying the different range of emotions a person can go through are great.
9. The Incredibles (2004)
Coming off hits in Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo in 2001 and 2003, Pixar followed it up nicely with a big-time hit in The Incredibles. Mr. Incredible and his family are funny, and The Incredibles is fun for the entire family.
8. WALL-E (2008)
It shouldn’t have been surprising, but Pixar was able to make a science-fiction movie starring a robot cute. WALL-E adventures to follow EVE across the galaxy as his existence becomes much more exciting.
7. Up (2009)
Perhaps the most heartwarming movie on the list, Up hits multiple generations with its characters, and it shows you’re never too old to have dreams.
6. Toy Story 2 (1999)
The Toy Story franchise is the crown jewel of Disney·Pixar, but all four probably shouldn’t just be lumped together at the top of this list. Some believe Toy Story 2 is the best, but the other three are ranked higher because one is the original and the other two sequels had longer waits.
5. Finding Nemo (2003)
Back in 2003, Finding Nemo was a near-phenomenon that eclipsed over $900 million at the box office. Relationships were built among memorable characters like Dory, Crush, Marlin, and Gill.
4. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
The belief that monsters are hiding in dark rooms waiting to scare people has been held by kids for quite some time, and Pixar smartly turned it into a brilliant animated feature, Monsters, Inc. The main two monsters—James P. “Sulley” Sullivan and Mike Wazowski—couldn’t be much different in size and attitude, and the duo makes for a funny combination.
3. Toy Story 3 (2010)
After a wait of over a decade, Toy Story 3 expanded the toy universe and delivered a new tale that caused many tears to be shed around the world. Toy Story 3 would have been a fitting end to the series.
2. Toy Story 4 (2019)
With hilarious new characters like Ducky (Keegan-Michael Key) and Bunny (Jordan Peele) and an ending that made Tim Allen (Buzz Lightyear) and Tom Hanks (Woody) emotional, Toy Story 4 is squarely among Pixar’s best.
1. Toy Story (1995)
Pixar began with Toy Story, the original first-ever computer-animated feature film that began a long journey that’s going on its third decade. From the unforgettable characters (including the villain Sid) and settings (like Pizza Planet), 1995’s Toy Story is a timeless classic.
All cute!
Hahah Ducky and Bunny are a riot. They might get old on multiple viewings but they’re great right now.
Toy Story yes no doubt. Monsters Inc is also great.
Fun movies.
