After watching Toy Story 3 in theaters, which was fantastic as usual, I decided to go on a sort of Pixar-marathon.  I've loved this studio since I was two-years-old, and even as I get older they still never fail to amaze me with their cleverness and beauty.  Despite being animated films about toys, bugs, fish and robots, I find that Pixar's movies have more intelligence, wit and humanity than pretty much all other productions this last decade.  Some may call them childrens' films, but Lasseter & co. really know how to create something that can be enjoyed by anyone of any age.  Really, the greatest and most consistent studio this side of the Atlantic Ocean.
 
So, which Pixar film is your favorite?  My vote goes to WALL-E, the greatest animated movie ever after Spirited Away, and one of my top ten films of all time.  Also, 2001 references FTW!

Cars has played here about 12 times in the past two weeks...and I still stop what I'm doing to watch a bit.

Toy Story 1 is still the best. Up came close, TS3 was nice, The Incredibles is funny, but TS1 is still the best

I do not miss the days when my younger siblings would do that. LOL

I really like Ratatouille, although I like WALL-E more, I even named my guide bot in Descent 3 after him.

I know they used Also sprach Zarathustra at one point.

The use of "Also Sprach Zarathustra," someone says "My God, it's full of stars," the way everything is consumed through shakes is similar to how everything is consumed through mush, and the shutdown of sorts both have luminous red lights.

When it first came out Monster's Inc. was like one of my favorite movies ever but it lost it's umph.  Finding Nemo is the only one that truly kept it's umph.
 
Thanks for making me feel like a little kid LOL

Can't vote for Wall-E because of that little robot yelling "WALLLLLLEEEE" in a whiny annoying voice over and over- and I can't vote for Up because of that strange bird that made REALLY weird noises over and over and over....so.......

my vote goes to Toy Story

Funny, I come to the forum after just having watched Wall-E and this is up. We watched Toy Story 3 in theatres a couple days ago and it really struck home, a great movie, and this coming from a guy who usually dislikes movies. I would have to say that Wall-E is my favorite though.

I'll vote for Wall-E followed very closely by Up and then the Incredibles. Honestly they're all so great it's hard to compare them.

Up and Wall-E were funny, although the action sequences towards the end of Up are boooooooooring, and Wall-E overplayed the romance, and I have no soul so huge chunks it were totally wasted on me. Finding Nemo and The Incredibles were probably the best balance of humor and emotion, although I haven't seen them in a long time so I might not agree now, and their peaks are probably not as high as Wall-E and Up. I remember liking Toy Story 1 and 2 at the time, but I watched some of them on Youtube because of Toy Story 3 coming out and they were....not very good. I can see why I liked it as a child, but why did all the adult reviewers love it? Was it just because it was 3D and aimed towards adults slightly more than most children's moviews and therefore MINDBLOWING? Kind of like the special effects of The Matrix and the AMAZING TWIST of The Sixth Sense made everybody love them even though they're both absolutely terrible movies? 

I guess I'll go with Up since that is the one that made me laugh the most, although that's probably not fair since I think I thought it was so funny since I went into it completely blind, so I didn't have any of the jokes ruined for me by the endless commercials like all other Pixar movies I've seen.

I was fairly disappointed with ''Up'', to be honest. Everybody kept making it out to be Pixar's masterpiece, or something. Wasn't even in my top three Pixar films. 

I chose ''Wall-E'', mainly because it's the smartest of all their films so far, and doesn't spoon-feed the audience at all. To go the entire first third of the film with no proper spoken dialogue was ballsy. And it paid off.

Finding Nemo because of Albert Brooks.

Toy Story 3 was great.

My vote is for Toy Story. But I love that short animations before the movie, like the old guy playing chess with himself and the one with a boy abducted.
