Nice list, Grofishka!!

Heehee, It’s a nice plant!

Well, really, the plant is the most important character; without it, nothing would’ve happened.

IncredigirlVirginia · February 13, 2011, 6:07pm

I totally agree.

Grifoshka · February 13, 2011, 7:46pm

Of course, but it is not so cute as WALL-E

IncredigirlVirginia · February 13, 2011, 7:59pm

I agree. i don’t care about the plant, but, fundamentally, it was the point of the movie.

The_Star_Swordsman · February 15, 2011, 9:26pm

but would the plant be technically a character? because it was an object of importance, but not a character.

ellie-jessie-eve · February 15, 2011, 10:29pm

I’m one of those weird people who believe every living thing has a soul and is equel to all other living things. So when I see a plant I don’t see it as an object, but as a character.

However, in the movies sense I don’t see it too much as a character, because in the movie it’s treated as an object.

IncredigirlVirginia · February 15, 2011, 11:23pm

Well, something does not have to be a character to be a symbol, anyway. In Up, even though it was not alive, Carl’s house sort of became a character. Or more of a symbol, if the word character makes people so uncomfortable.

definedancing · February 17, 2011, 2:26pm

And the plant is, of course, a symbol for life and Earth in the film. So in a way, it’s a character.
Isn’t that what Pixar do best, personify inanimate objects?

The_Star_Swordsman · February 17, 2011, 8:31pm

Good point.

before I write this I must say that this list is changeable, I mean, I am absolutely sure that some characters will move on when I rewatch these ELEVEN masterpiece films again

Toy Story 1: Buzz
A Bug’s Life: Heimlich

Monsters Inc: Mike
Finding Nemo: Dory
The Incredibles: Syndrome
Cars: Chick-Hicks
Ratatouille: Ego
WALL-E: WALL-E.

PS 1: despite of liking Buzz, Jessie and Lotso in the TS films, I have to say that Woody is my favorite character of all the toy story franquise, I know it is weird,

PS 2: I really love evil characters in this films

PS 3: WALL-E is irremovable

IncredigirlVirginia · March 1, 2011, 12:23am

Love that list, Bryan!!! and Jessie is my favorite TS2 character, but Woody is my favorite in the series by far.

Lil-Bandit · March 1, 2011, 1:01pm

Yes she’s just brilliant! I feel like she has one of the best and most subtle character arcs of all Pixar characters and is so easy to relate to.

The_Star_Swordsman · March 1, 2011, 9:11pm

Exactly! That’s why I love her. not to mention i still have a huge crush on her.

bryanbmp · March 9, 2011, 8:18pm

thank you IV, I am gonna search yours right now, I guess you’ve done one

Leirin · March 9, 2011, 11:17pm

I love Jessie so much. She’s a step-up from the traditional female character Bo is, but not in a way that’s trying too hard. She isn’t too aggressive and “girl-power!” like a ton of strong heroines end up being- she’s just herself.
