"Finding Nemo" is Pixar's best film, by far.
I'm an auto racing nut, though, and I enjoyed "Cars" more than any other Pixar film. The cameos by Michael Shumacher and Mario Andretti sealed it.

"Chicken Little" is the begining and end of Disney's list of CGI successes as of now. And it was just alright.
"Dinosaur" was mediocre at best (both in content and box office take), "The Wild" made "The Black Cauldron" look like a best picture Oscar winner.
Disney should have stuck to their guns and improved their hand-drawn department. They now play follower in the genre they once led (in innovation and creativity, not neccessarily in $$$ success). Had their hand-drawn features exhibited the heart and creativity that they once did, they'd still be making them. (The classic example; hand-draw "Finding Nemo" and make "Home on the Range" in CGI... which one is better?)
Pixar exhibits creativity that is unmatched in this era of animation. Dreamworks comes through every now and then ("Shrek" 1st one only, and "Over the Hedge") and Disney has hit the mark on rare occasions since the release of Aladdin (with "Treasure Planet" despite the financial failure).
