Top 5 Pixar films

Ratatouille (dir. Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava, 2007)

A love song to Paris – its food, its characters, its romance – this giddy tale of a rodent who dreams of being a chef contains more magic moments per frame than any of Pixar film.

The Incredibles (dir. Brad Bird, 2004)

John Lasseter may be more famous and his films may have raked in more merchandising dollars, but Bird seems to be the real genius at Pixar, here delivering a satiric thriller so exciting it blows the Mission: Impossible series out of the water.

Up (dir. Pete Docter and Bob Peterson, 2009)

Pixar’s films get more challenging, emotionally as much as technically, as the years go by: Albert Laromisse (The Red Balloon) and Hiyao Miyazaki (Lapouta: Castle In The Sky) wouldn’t be ashamed of this profound story of a widower’s grief transformed.

Finding Nemo (dir. Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich, 2003)

Pixar films have always been attuned to the drama and pathos to be derived from stories of eco-disaster; this tale of an Australian clown fish who sets out from the Great Barrier Reef on a hazardous journey to rescue his son trumps even WALL-E.

Monsters, Inc (di. Pete Docter, Lee Unkrich and David Silverman, 2001)

Toy Story and A Bug’s Life had already redefined modern animation and proved box-office winners, but this extravagantly inventive feature – huge giants working for a utility company generate power from the screams of children – proved beyond all doubt that the studio was capable of storytelling of the highest order.
