1. The Incredibles
2. Up
3. Finding Nemo
4. Wall-E
5. Toy Story 2
6. Toy Story
7. Monster's Inc.
8. Ratatouille
9. A Bug's Life
10. Cars

the only one of those I've seen is Wall-E, which was surprisingly good $.02

At 2 1/2 my son hasn't seen all of those yet.  I didn't like Finding Nemo mainly because the sounds were annoying.  I liked Cars and my son loves it.  It is pretty much his Dark Side of the Moon right now.  He didn't really get Toy Story or Ratatouille enough to hold his attention.  I remember watching Monsters Inc on an intercontinental flight.  It seemed decent.  I think that is the next one he'll watch.  Pixar makes some good stuff if you have to watch something with the kids.

1. The Incredibles
2. Up
3. Finding Nemo
4. Wall-E
5. Toy Story 2
6. Toy Story
7. Monster's Inc.
8. Ratatouille
9. A Bug's Life
10. Cars



Without having seen Up, the list above is exactly how I would rank them.

Maybe bump Nemo down a pinch for the annoying Dorey whale speak.

I look forward to seeing Up.

gleek, how was the 3D?  Decent, or a waste of time?

The 3-D effects were cool and I thought it was worth the extra dough. I have to admit though that I appreciated the effects far more at the beginning than toward the end. Toward the beginning I was really taken in by the visuals, but as I became engrossed in the story and the action picked up, I almost forgot about the 3-D effects and sort of took it for granted.

Weird.  I just realized that I've only seen the Pixar movies up until The Incredibles. 

Toy Story    1995
Bugs Life, A    1998    
Toy Story 2    1999    
Monsters, Inc    2001    
Finding Nemo    2003    
Incredibles, The    2004    
Cars     2006    
Ratatouille    2007
Wall E    2008    
Up     2009 

Damn, I can only remember going to a movie theater twice since The Incredibles. (Batman Begins, V for Vendetta) Sad

I thought the story was great. Nevermind the magic of Pixar. It is in my opinion the best story they have ever done.
