- DirectorJohn LasseterAndrew StantonStarsKevin SpaceyDavid FoleyJulia Louis-DreyfusA misfit ant, looking for "warriors" to save his colony from greedy grasshoppers, recruits a group of bugs that turn out to be an inept circus troupe.This may be a surprise to many people that I'd put this as my number one, but I for some reason really connect with this film. It may not be Pixar's most memorable films, but for me the story is funny and somewhat complex. It has a mixture of many things, like adventure, comedy, romance, and suspense. It may be an underdog or under-bug but its my favorite of all the Pixar films.
- DirectorAndrew StantonStarsBen BurttElissa KnightJeff GarlinIn the distant future, a small waste-collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.I was really impressed with how Pixar managed to pull this one off. A film with almost no dialog aside from the captain. And using sound to communicate between the characters. I was able to comprehend what the characters were thinking, feeling, and saying in their own language. That is really impressive to make this a great film.
- DirectorPete DocterBob PetersonStarsEdward AsnerJordan NagaiJohn Ratzenberger78-year-old Carl Fredricksen travels to Paradise Falls in his house equipped with balloons, inadvertently taking a young stowaway.This film is as close to perfect as you will get. I watch this over and over again, and I still can't find one large mistake, and even the small mistakes are hard to find. Its like a really hard crossword puzzle. But that's why I love the film. This could be regarded as Pixar's best film generally. For me its number 3. I don't know why its just where it fell.
- DirectorJohn LasseterStarsTom HanksTim AllenDon RicklesA cowboy doll is profoundly threatened and jealous when a new spaceman action figure supplants him as top toy in a boy's bedroom.Who could leave out Toy Story? Not me. While I'm not a huge fan of the sequels, the original is pure gold. Woody and Buzz are two great characters that carry the emotions and complexities of the film. This would start one of the best animated film companies ever.
- DirectorPete DocterDavid SilvermanLee UnkrichStarsBilly CrystalJohn GoodmanMary GibbsIn order to power the city, monsters have to scare children so that they scream. However, the children are toxic to the monsters, and after a child gets through, two monsters realize things may not be what they think.The creativity of this film really speaks volumes. A world of only monsters that live in a metro area can create some amazingly funny moments. This is also extremely touching with the relationship between Sully and Boo.
- DirectorPete DocterRonnie Del CarmenStarsAmy PoehlerBill HaderLewis BlackAfter young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.The company's greatest idea? Phh! Yeah!

- DirectorAndrew StantonLee UnkrichStarsAlbert BrooksEllen DeGeneresAlexander GouldAfter his son is captured in the Great Barrier Reef and taken to Sydney, a timid clownfish sets out on a journey to bring him home.
