Your favorite PIXAR movie?

[S.Peelman]

Pixar had a golden age in the 2000s. Classic after classic. It’s hard to pick between those, but I have settled on an absolute favourite.

Wall-E.

That movie is brilliance. I genuinely feel that is among a Top 5 best movies period. Not a word is spoken in the first half of the film, but it’s a top example of how to tell a story though picture instead of words. The other half of the movie is equally brilliant though. It is fun, it has a great story, great characters, great animation and a menacing villain.

Next to Wall-E in my opinion is Up. From the same generation of Pixar movies so to say. Up features what’s probably the saddest intro to any film ever made. And it makes for a bittersweet story afterwards, though ofcourse with lots of fun still. Other high points in Pixar movies after that are Finding Nemo, where the characterizations of all the animals were so clever, they just really fit, are recognizable, funny and memorable. Then also Monsters Inc., The Incredibles and naturally Toy Story itself were all great.

After that generation Pixar got into a bit of a lull if you asked me. The movies wouldn’t reach those highs anymore. Then the newer generation would include a handful of rays of light though, with Inside Out and Soul, which were very good again.
