When Cars 2 is the absolute worst film a studio has ever made, it must be doing something right. The sequel to Pixar's talking automobile franchise is perfectly serviceable as a bright, brash cartoon that youngsters will happily lap up. But a jump-started Lightning McQueenstalls and splutters in the face of Pixar movies' usual standard. Lacking the...
At least it's not Cars 2. The dishonor of the weakest Pixar movie is a photo-finish between Cars sequels, with the third in the series narrowly overtaking its predecessor. Addressing the criticisms Cars 2 ran into, Cars 3revs up the story elements as Owen Wilson's cheery red racer realizes his glory days might be over. This premise leads Cars 3 on ...
If the Cars series marks Pixar's first critical misfire, The Good Dinosaur is the studio's first proper box office flop. Truthfully, The Good Dinosaur is nowhere near as bad as its financials suggest. Based on the intriguing concept of Earth if the dinosaurs never went extinct, The Good Dinosaur's solid-but-unspectacular execution is as much to bla...
Lightyear is the (fake) movie that inspired Andy's desire to own the Buzz Lightyear action figure and kick off the Toy Story timeline. This would have been a clever concept had director Angus MacLane stuck to it, but the movie that became Lightyearis simply not one that would have existed in 1995 – it feels too slick. There's plenty to love, includ...
It's no secret that Pixar movie sequels seldom live up to their respective originals, but it's rare indeed that an entire franchise fails to please. Step forward, Cars - the only Pixar series that hasn't produced a single universally-loved outing. After bringing to life toys, bugs, fish and monsters, automobiles were the next logical target to anth...
The long-awaited follow-up to Monsters, Inc. takes the form of a prequel set during Mike Wazowski and James P. Sullivan's college years. Though this wasn't necessarily a story fans were longing to see, Monsters Universitymakes the most of its situation and coaxes plenty of comedic shenanigans out of Mike and Sulley's early rivalry. Beyond explainin...
Backed by a typically deep story borne out of director Peter Sohn's real life experience and the wider immigrant story, Elemental may not be top tier Pixar, but it is still better than most animated movies. As with a lot of Pixar movies, Elemental also deals with the idea of legacy within families and younger characters finding their own way. The r...
Much like Monsters University, Finding Dory wasn't the sequel fans were calling for, and though Pixar deserves credit for at least trying to avoid predictability, that initial lack of interest hampers an otherwise strong Finding Dory. Focusing on Ellen DeGeneres' amnesiac blue tang, Finding Dory succeeds where many Pixar movie sequels don't, coming...
When Pixar resolved to focus solely upon original stories in the wake of Toy Story 4, many applauded the artistic integrity. Onward was the first of these productions, and had the misfortune of releasing in March 2020. COVID-19 obviously had a profound effect on Onward's box office, but early reaction during the film's short theatrical run was alre...
A more recent tapestry to emerge from Pixar's movie-making loom, Luca encompasses some of the finest visuals the studio has ever animated, rendering sun-soaked Italy and the sea monsters' underwater realm with equal beauty. Released in the summer of 2021, Lucasuccessfully captures the spirit of young children exploring during warm-weather holidays,...

- Ratatouille (2007) In the delightful Ratatouille, Remy the rat struggles to fit in. When his refined palette leads him to a Parisian restaurant, he ends up becoming a puppet master for Linguini (Lou Romano), a hapless young sous chef.
- The Incredibles (2004) The Incredibles is, well, incredible. The story follows a family of superheroes, each with their own unique power, as they attempt to stop a criminal mastermind from completing his dastardly plan.
- WALL-E (2008) Looking for an animated children's movie that will sweep you off your feet and leave you rethinking your relationship to love and to the planet itself?
- Soul (2020) Like all of the best Pixar movies, Soul reminds us what it really means to be human. This heartwarming movie, which won the Best Animated Feature Oscar, follows Joe (Jamie Foxx), a struggling musician who falls through a manhole and finds himself — or at least his soul — in the Great Before, the place where new souls are joined to their destined bodies.
