Best Pixar Movie

[celedhring]

It's been a while since I made a film poll, and I love polls!

What's the best, in Languish' not-so-humble opinion, best Pixar movie?

I was torn between Up! Wall-E and Toy Story 3. All are high watermarks of Pixar, but none is perfect. Wall-E has that dialogue-less first half until the humans show up which is absolutely masterful, then it's... okay. Up! suffers from a similar problem, as the first act is a masterpiece but the film becomes merely "good" once they touch down on the island. Maybe Toy Story 3 is more consistently good... but it doesn't reach the same highs as those films.

Went with Wall-E, but could have easily picked any of the other 2.

[Liep]

I went with Up! but it was a difficult choice with Wall-E and Inside Out as close contenders.

[frunk]

Went with Ratatouille, although on another given day I could easily say the Incredibles, Coco or Wall-E.  Up! has such a fantastic start, but once they got to South America I got tired of it very fast.

What about The Incredibles? I remember thinking it was the best thing Pixar had done until that moment, even if it had some chilling Randian overtones.

Jaron option as I haven't seen any of them.

[Duque de Bragança]

Dammit, Maladict beat me to it! 

[mongers]

Dammit, Maladict beat me to it! 

I was going to go with you and Mal, but then I realised I'd seen three of them. 

Seen Up!, Wall-E and Toy story, choose Up! for the visuals, though the Wall-E was had the better story arc.

[Grey Fox]

Cars, Brave, A Bug's life & Monsters, Inc are all better than the movies listed but Toy Story 1-3, Wall-E & Coco.

Cars for #1.

[Josquius]

Up.
Wall E is good.
But dog.

[Admiral Yi]

Shoot, I've never even heard of Up!

Voted Wall-E.

I entirely agree. It's as if they create amazing short, silent stories, and then think that, no, surely they can't get away with this, can they? And then add up some more typical cartoon fare (vilains, action, exposition...).

I really disliked Toy Story 3's ending. I would be tempted to swap it with Inside Out.

Voted Wall-E.

This followed by This is the only part of Up! you really need to see.  The rest is only ok.

[Barrister]

I couldn't make it through the first few minutes of Up! without crying, so I've never really seen it past that point.

Somehow I've also missed Ratatouille, Coco, and Wall-E.

Of the remainder, I think I might just go with Inside Out.

Inside Out is the one I haven't seen, although I definitely want to.

[Malthus]

Inside Out is great - it's a contender. Though I voted for Wall-E because the first half of it is just that good.
