Directors: John Lasseter, Bradford Lewis | Stars: Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer
Votes: 217,886 | Gross: $191.45M
This is number 15 on my list. It's pretty awful. Very unwatchable. I didn't like the whole Spy premise of the film. Worst movie from Pixar, to date.
2. Brave (2012)
PG | 93 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.
Directors: Mark Andrews, Brenda Chapman, Steve Purcell | Stars: Kelly Macdonald, Billy Connolly, Emma Thompson, Julie Walters
Votes: 442,150 | Gross: $237.28M
This is number 14 on my list. It's pretty generic. Seem like it was trying to capitalize on How to Train your Dragon crowd. Even the voice actors for the father sounds the same. It also felt like Disney princess rehash. Try to do something new with the premise, but fail badly. Frozen did it, so much better. I didn't like they portray men in this film. I really can't stand this movie. Sorry
3. Ratatouille (2007)
G | 111 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
A rat who can cook makes an unusual alliance with a young kitchen worker at a famous Paris restaurant.
Directors: Brad Bird, Jan Pinkava | Stars: Brad Garrett, Lou Romano, Patton Oswalt, Ian Holm
Votes: 824,673 | Gross: $206.45M
This is number 13 on my list. It's pretty forgettable in my view. While, I love the cooking premise and the European French settling, but it didn't have all the ingredients to stand out. The main character is boring. The humor wasn't there. It was just meh.
4. Monsters University (2013)
G | 104 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
A look at the relationship between Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sully" Sullivan during their days at Monsters University, when they weren't necessarily the best of friends.
Director: Dan Scanlon | Stars: Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Helen Mirren
Votes: 389,885 | Gross: $268.49M
This is number 12 on my list. Honestly, I don't know why this movie was made. As much as I love the characters, I never thought, they were going to make a prequel. I wanted a sequel! It was alright for the most part. It was just too safe and often full of clichés. See my review for it, for more detail.
5. A Bug's Life (1998)
G | 95 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
A 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.
Directors: John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton | Stars: Kevin Spacey, David Foley, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Hayden Panettiere
Votes: 314,458 | Gross: $162.80M
This is number 11 on my list. It was ok movie at the time. I was a bigger fan of 1999's Antz. This was kinda, more childish. Some of it's faults is how unrealistic, the ants look in this movie and how boring the main characters, were. For the most part, I think the circus insects save this movie for me. I love the score. Could had been better.
6. Cars (2006)
G | 116 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
On the way to the biggest race of his life, a hotshot rookie race car gets stranded in a rundown town and learns that winning isn't everything in life.
Directors: John Lasseter, Joe Ranft | Stars: Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Paul Newman, Larry the Cable Guy
Votes: 469,768 | Gross: $244.08M
This is number 10. I kinda like this movie when it came out. Now, not so much. I still love the premise and how important, it was to keep American history, alive. It's very unique at the time. I really hate, that the movie created awful spin-off movies like Planes. The characters were alright. Fun movie.
7. WALL·E (2008)
G | 98 min | Animation, Adventure, Family
In the distant future, a small waste-collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.
Director: Andrew Stanton | Stars: Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight, Jeff Garlin, Fred Willard
Votes: 1,200,136 | Gross: $223.81M
This is number 9. I love this movie so much. I love, how little dialogue, it has, but able to tell a great story. I found Wall-E to be so cute. I love the environment music and the social commentary about how materialism, our society is. While, the movie is bit preachy, and I didn't like the mix with CGI animation and some live action. Overall: it's a fair good movie.
8. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
G | 92 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
In 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.

Votes: 978,617 | Gross: $289.92M
This is number 8. I love this movie. It had a pretty cool premise, and very unique at the time. John Goodman and Billy Crystal are just amazing in their roles. By far, the best thing in this movie is Boo. She's so cute. The relationship with Sully and Boo is great. A must-watch.
9. Up (2009)
PG | 96 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
78-year-old Carl Fredricksen travels to Paradise Falls in his house equipped with balloons, inadvertently taking a young stowaway.

This is number 7. I love this movie! It had very good characters. The premise was unique. It had a lot, going on it. While, the first 10 minutes are the best in the film. The rest of the film is just as good, or even better.

PG | 115 min | Animation, Action, Adventure
While trying to lead a quiet suburban life, a family of undercover superheroes are forced into action to save the world.

This is number 6. This movie was intense and fun to watch. Action pack. The movie was really good. I love the whole 1960s spy feel to it. The movie has a really cool soundtrack. All the characters kinda works. I love the villain, as well. Brad Bird best film, so far.
