Top 5 Pixar Movies

Pixar, one of Disney's now crowned jewels in the movies that they have created, starting with Toy Story, there have been many great films to have come out of that animation company, and today, I think I will have to talk about which movies, in my opinion, are the top five of Pixar Animation Studios.

5. Up - It tells a great story, and is one of the darkest movies of Pixar and frankly Disney as well. The idea of losing a child, the loss of someone you love, how that can effect the elderly, and the determination of people to do what they need to do, and is also a message that you cannot linger to the past forever, for it may destroy you.

4. Monster's Inc. - A great movie with great voice actors such as Billy Crystal and a lot of other talented voice actors. The story of monsters is great, and it is also shows how far corporate people can go to save people. It is a great modern story that if taken out of context of the monsters could actually be turned into a live action film of some kind with the same plotline, of course taking out Boo, but who could forget such an innocent character?

3. Toy Story 3 - Came out June 18, 2010, is one of the best movies in the series, and shows how people, again, grow up and need to let go of the past, for it doesn't always stay forever and change happens, whether you are ready for it or not. It is a great story and is one that, for people who grew up with these movies, went off to college the same time as Andy (at least that was me in my case). It is a wonderful story and told with breathtaking animation and great characters.

2. Finding Nemo - One of the best movies that Pixar had ever done. With the having to animate the ocean is one that someone has not done, and was created as a challenge to even look at in Pinocchio with the scene of Monstro. This movie was nominated for multiple Academy Awards, and won a couple as well. It is one of the best told stories of how far a parent will go to save their child. With memorable characters and great storytelling, it is in fact a close first for my opinion.

1. Toy Story - Like Snow White with Walt Disney, Pixar created the first complete computer animated feature with Toy Story, released in 1995, was awarded for its complexity and its ability to tell a story with a computer screen. Though Pixar had done shorts in the past, they had never attempted something like this. To give the story of toys and what they do when we are not around. It is a wonderful story and is something to be treasured always. No matter when you watch it, it is still a great story and is amazing to watch.
