Does Brave make it into your top 5 best Pixar movies list?

Pixar's Feature Films Brave
#9

It doesn’t make the top 5 for me sadly, it’s probably around the 9-10 place.

#10

Yes. I think it’s either 4th or 5th place

#11

Not only did it make Top 5, it made Top 3 for me. I thought it was amazing! I really can’t wait to see it again :smiley:

#12

I honestly stink at rating the Pixar films, because I can never bring myself to say that any one of their films is better than the others. I instead like to separate the films in top, middle, and bottom tiers. For me right now, Brave fits snuggly into the top tier alongside with both Cars, TS3, Nemo, and WALL-E, and the best Pixar film is a toss-up between those 6. However, seeing that I’ve only watched it once, and my initially viewings of films tend to idealize them, Brave will most likely slip into the middle tier after repeated viewings. Either way, it was amazing! :smiley:

Does Brave make my Top 5 Pixar list?
Not at all.
Not that it was bad, but to me it most definitely lacked that extra Pixar touch.

I’ll paraphrase a review I read recently which I thought hit it right on target. I can’t remember if it was the LA Times or Time Magazine… but it was a major reviewer who said basically that if it wasn’t a Pixar movie, it would be fine… but we’ve all come to expect a little more from Pixar – and cited as an example, the wonderful “La Luna” that came before it. I couldn’t have agreed more.

There was nothing really wrong with Brave… except (a) I found it very, very predictable (I found myself whispering to myself all the things that I thought were about to happen – and just about all them happened just as I thought they would. Most Pixar movies aren’t anywhere near predictable). And (b) it was just missing that spark (maybe originality? Maybe something else?) that we love in the best of the Pixar movies.

Seeing the trailer for “Monsters Inc 2” beforehand, I sadly think the next Pixar film will be much the same way: funny and entertaining perhaps, but just from that short clip at least, it didn’t seem that that one will rise to the best of Pixar’s level either (I thought the first Monsters was amazing and original) – and it’s not an anti-sequel thing… I consider Toy Story 2 to be right at the top of my favorite Pixars. But I’m not so sure about Monsters 2.

Again, I’m not dissing Brave. It was a good movie. But for me anyway, not on the “I’ve got to have that on DVD as soon as it comes out!” level the way so many other Pixar movies have been.

At least there’s hope on the horizon though. The 2014 and 2015 ones look mighty interesting to me (one being where the emotions inside a girl’s brain are the main characters of the movie supposedly… and the other based on the Day of the Dead holiday). That to me, at least in concept, seems more back to Pixar at its best…

#14

I’m afraid not. It is laugh-out-loud hilarious, but its plot leaves quite a bit to be desired. Still, it made it to #9, between Up and Monster, Inc.

#15

Sorry, but it’s outside the Top 5 (maybe in the 7 or 8 slot). My Top 5 is as follows:

  1. Toy Story 2
  2. The Incredibles
  3. Toy Story 3
  4. Ratatouille
  5. Up
#16

My list

  1. Toy Story
  2. Toy Story 2
  3. Toy Story 3
  4. Monster Inc.
  5. Wall-E
  6. Up
  7. Cars 2
    :sunglasses: The Incredibles
  8. Ratatouille
  9. Brave
  10. Finding Nemo
  11. Cars
  12. A Bug’s Life
#17

No, but that’s not surprising. I consider that my top 5 Pixar’s movies (Wall-e, Up, Finding Nemo, Toy Story and TS3), reach a quality difficult to beat.
But artistically it is in the top 5 if not at the very top.

#18

Nah, I mean, it was okay and entertaining, but I dont need to own it or anything.

Top 5

  1. Cars
  2. Nemo
  3. TS3
  4. Wall-e
  5. Monsters Inc
#19

That’s pretty much how I feel about it. My top five are very tightly packed.

#20

No, it doesn’t. I guess if I decided to refresh my ranking list, I’d rank Brave pretty low, and not because it was bad, but because I loved most of the others more.

#21

After watching it yesterday, I don’t think it is strong as the majority of the Pixar library. I like it much better than either Cars movie. I like the characters, the plot was strong, the film was
strongly polished, had some great comedy, and I like the theme of changing fate. But the characters aren’t as strong as they could be, the third act is not as strong as it could be, and the theme could have been better analyzed. But I like it a lot, and after Cars 2, that is high praise.

My ranking of the films:
13.Cars 2
12.Cars
11.Brave
10.A Bug’s Life
9.Toy Story
8.Monsters, Inc.
7.Toy Story 2
6.The Incredibles
5.Ratatouille
4.Wall-E
3.Finding Nemo
2.Up
1.Toy Story 3( you can’t top perfection)

#22

mmmmm, probably not. It was okay but I wouldnt rank it that high. My top 5 are probably

Cars
Finding Nemo
Toy Story 3
Monsters Inc
WALL-E

#23

I like it, but it doesn’t make my top 5.

#24

That’s how I feel.

Very good, but all the movies on my Pixar list are strongly liked, so being in the top 5 really really means something. 8D

  7. Toy story 2
  8. Finding Nemo

#27

It does make my list. But Ratatouille is still at the top.
