The awesome-
ness of Toy Story 3 got me thinking, and I decided to rank all the movies Pixar has made so far. They are all great, and if you haven't seen them all, you don't know what you're missing, so do yourself a favor and get them on DVD if you don't have them already. And if you do, let us know which one is your favorite. I know it's hard, because they are all brilliant, but what else do you have to do? That's what I thought.
1. Toy Story
2. The Incredibles
3. Finding Nemo
4. Up
5. Toy Story 3
6. Toy Story 2
7. Wall-E
8. Monsters, Inc.
9. Ratatouille
10. A Bug's Life
11. Cars
Except for Cars, I find all of the above movies incredibly original and full of unexpected twists and developments. They all feature compelling characters, great scripts, and funny dialogue. They are all touching and deeply moving, they come with valuable lessons about friendship, love, and perseverance, and a couple of them in particular (The Incredibles and Wall-E) pack a surprising amount of scathing criticism about society, the triumph of mediocrity, and where corrupt moral values will take us. Put it another way, serious stuff combined with giddy playfulness. Last but not least, let's not forget how the original Toy Story changed the game when it became the first completely computer-animated film ever, and how the geniuses at Pixar have kept on improving their craft, releasing masterfully animated after masterfully animated works of art, be it a feature-length movie or a short film. I think I tend to take this for granted, which is a testimony to the way Pixar always puts the story and the characters before the technical wizardry. For them, it's always about the story, and those stories are always amazing. Here's to eleven more masterpieces!

Es complicado hacer una lista de cual es mejor, ya que casi todas me encantan, yo posiblemente echaria para el final la de Nemo y la de cars, ya que son las que me parecen más flojillas, pero el resto son obras maestras.
Si que es dificil, si. Pero es un buen problema: todas sus peliculas son tan buenas que es dificil hacer un ranking con ellas. Espero que sigamos teniendo este problema por muchos anyos!
