Listen, we all love Pixar movies. Everybody loves at least one Pixar movie, and most people love most Pixar movies-- the studio's stellar record of critical acclaim and box office success proves that much. But every time a new Pixar film is release to stellar reviews, there are a few people standing in a corner, wondering what all the big fuss is about. It's no fun to be the lone hater, so we usually keep our mouths shut, letting the studio soak up all the praise and asking ourselves if there's something wrong with us, or if everyone else is crazy.

Cars 1 is by far the worst Pixar movie so far, followed by Up which was a complete borefest imo. I mean, Cars 2 is better than the first one, and even that is kinda crappy.
Also, I can't believe that Toy Story 3 is on the list, but not Toy Story 2, which is a terrible film. The characters in that are completely unlikable.
... are still extremely entertaining and just a joy to watch.
Some will think Up is a borefest (I don't), or that Cars is the worst Pixar movie (I loved it), or that Monsters Inc hasn't really aged well (it hasn't, but that's always going to a be a problem for those first generations of CGI movies...)
In the end though, they've all been worth watching. Some have captured our heart, and some were 'just' entertaining, and even if they weren't entertaining for whatever reason, there would always be something amazing going on that would make you go 'wow'...
Like everyone, I have my favourites, and I have some I merely 'enjoyed' but don't have a strong desire to revisit. I think that's just normal and not really an indication about the quality of these movies, but more about personal taste, consideringe veryone seems to be mentioning different movies that were special to them.
I'm really looking forward to Brave. :)
Up is one of my favorites as well.
... I loved the way it looked, I loved the characters, I loved the simple straightforward personal story, and I loved the humor.
And I'm not even a 'car person'.
I felt Wall-E was a very good movie, but I didn't feel it was an ENTERTAINING movie. It certainly managed to make me care about the character Wall-E and the ending did affect me emotionally, so it was just very well made in all areas and it had 'heart'.
That said, that same year Kung Fu Panda came out, and I thought that movie was ALOT more entertaining. It wasn't as technically brilliant. It didn't have any emotional impact. It wasn't extremely 'original' or 'daring'.
It was FUN. A whole lot of FUN. And to me, that's also very important. :)
A good comparison would be Disney's Bambi vs Emperor's New Groove. Bambi has the 'heart', but Emperor's New Groove is just entertaining throughout and can be enjoyed many times without really getting boring or stale or whatever, because it's got lots of comedy and great pacing.
Unless of course Cars is the title.....which I don't understand why that didn't make the list....I'd glady take out Monsters Inc or Finding Nemo for Cars/Cars 2....its their lowest rated film.....
If I were to hate a Pixar movie, that would be Cars2.
