Up is very special to me as well, it was the film that catapulted me into the Pixar fandom!
Alright, after seeing Inside Out, here are my updated rankings. (not sure when the last time I did this was).
Now, to make clear these are my favorites, not necessarily the best.
Yeah! Toy Story was actually one of, if not, the first films I ever saw. I remember watching it over and over on VHS to the point where my copy actually broke The film seemed and still does seem so magical to me today.
I’m not saying it will be bad, I’m just kind of skeptical about it now. Brave also had different directors and it kind of shows. You’re right, it is too early to judge it. I hope I’m wrong about it and that it scores high, I’m just not as excited for it as I was for The Inside Out. Who know, maybe I’ll like it better than Inside Out. If that happens I’ll admit I was wrong to judge it to early.
I’m not super keen on The Good Dinosaur either but it could knock my socks off, who knows! I’d be pleasantly surprised if it did
Okay, now that I’ve seen Inside Out it’s relisting time!
Up
Ratatouille
WALL-E
Toy Story 2
Inside Out
Monsters, Inc.
Toy Story 3
The Incredibles
Finding Nemo
Toy Story
Monsters University
A Bug’s Life
Brave
Cars
Cars 2
Yes, Inside Out did make the top 5 as I predicted, which I am very pleased with. (On another note, I’m also very pleased that we’re at a nice 15 films now!)
This is so hard! It honestly changes depending on my mood (except the top maybe 4) but I think it’ll go something like:
Monsters, Inc. (Nostalgia reasons plus it’s hilarious and well paced)
Inside Out (Might be 1 at some point; Very creative, emotional, thought provoking, had some “firsts” for Pixar,all characters are likable, and it really spoke to me!)
Toy Story 3 (Amazing villain with tragic backstory, great themes, funny, tearjerker)
Finding Nemo (adventurous, funny, beautiful, lots of good characters!)
I haven’t updated this list since Cars 2, and release of Inside Out is a good reason to do so. Although I think I need to rewatch it a couple of times to rate it properly.
