Whoa, seriously? Of all the Toy Story films, you consider 2 the best?

WALL-E is must see movie magic. If you don't like it, I'll pay for your next month of Netflix.

This might shock Retrodude, but most know it all pompous ass "critics" like myself would agree with him. Some consider it the best Pixar film made yet.


Oh, and as always, the short before MU is terrific.

Wall-e is pretty kick ass. Probably my favorite Pixar film.

I didn't care much for Up thou. I was home sick the first time I watched it and the first 30 minutes or so depressed the hell out of me. The kid who had daddy issues also depressed me :P. Overall it was a good film but I just wasn't in the right mood to be watching it the first time and every time I watch it that is all i can think about.

As much as I enjoyed Toy Story 3, I always felt it was unnecessary. Thematically speaking, the story of these characters was concluded perfectly at the end of the second one. They didn't need to say anything else. On an emotional level, among many other strong scenes, there's the moment where we see Jessie's story with that beautiful, heart-wrenching song behind it. Gets me every time. I never felt that emotional connection at any point in Toy Story 3. Despite how good the story was, it just felt flat to me and so far, I've not felt the need to revisit it (although I'm sure I will at some point).
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

Story-wise - definitely UP.
cool-factor - Incredibles
Heart-wrenching-makes-you-wanna-cry-when-they-hold-hands-in-the-incinerator-scene: Toy Story 3.
I'll second this. I can't believe The Incredibles hasn't gotten a sequel.

That's what is so incredible about UP. Within five minutes you are emotionally attached to two animated imaginary characters that you know are imaginary.

I'm hard pressed to think of a director who can do that with live characters.

Ratatouille is the best "foodie" film of all time. If you have more than a passing knowledge of food, wine, and cooking, then you will enjoy the film a lot more. It is my second favorite Pixar film, and it is my wife's very favorite.

Given that this is a retro gaming site, I'm surprised more people aren't arguing that Wreck-it-Ralph is their best work...
