Favorite Pixar Flick? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

DoubleLatte · 10-12-2006, 04:29 PM

Among one of the many "favorites" threads out there. =p But this is different. To me, there have always been movies, and then there has been Pixar. I refuse to mesh these wonderful CGI films with the rest of the junk that has been coming out in theaters lately. So, what'll it be? Monsters, Inc. is at the top of my list now that I've seen the movie for the upteenth time and tried to pick out every tiny detail by pausing and zooming because I'm just OCD like that. :3 And I still can't get over the first Toy Story. Love it. It's second on my list, followed by The Incredibles. Cars happens to be at the bottom. The whole aspect and storyline just felt tired and recycled. The talking car thing had already been done to death, so I suppose that was why this film didn't give me that "oh, wow. <i>This</i> is new!" feeling that I always got with every new Pixar film. It was "cute", but not something I'd like to see a second time. How about you?

Toy Story and Toy Story 2. I love those movies and still watch them whenever they're on. I can't really say which one I like more, they're both so good.

I love them all but Incredibles is at the top of the list. Haven't seen Cars yet.

I think all the Pixar films are really outstanding, but I love Toy Story the most.

Don't take this negatively, but it might have been more easier to use a more "wide spread" topic like all CGI films. But that's my opinion. Anyways, for a while it was "Monsters Inc", but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that "The Incredibles" is one of the greatest CG flicks ever made.

Disney did a fantastic job, voice actors, designs, powers, it all came out really well and they made some impressive action sequences. The fights on the islands with those buzz saw saucer discs was amazing and it was just like the speed bike fights in "Return of the Jedi".

I think the best part of the movie though had to be with it's villain, Syndrome voiced by Jason Lee. He played an excellent super villain and being a comic geek naturally, he worked so well for the role and made the character just seem very "relatable" to other comic geeks.

I love the monologging bit, that was just fun to listen to.

Finding Nemo will always be my fav.

For me it would have to be "The Incredibels", not only does the animation look great but it is one of the most finely plotted animated films I have ever seen.

NO. :p That was precisely what I was trying to avoid: meshing in all the other GCI flicks with Pixar. *points to first post*

I think Monsters, Inc was probably the coolest for storyline.

I second that. This was the movie that had me wondering when I first watched it: how do they come up with this stuff?

I'm gonna have to agree with DoubleLatte--these days, nobody compares to Pixar. NOBODY.

The Shrek films have become a huge success--and the second having outgrossed the highest grossing Pixar film so far--and some of the other DreamWorks pictures are good as well. But they don't have the genuinity and pure HEART that Pixar has.
