With Pixar’s Cars 2 hitting theaters today, we here at Click thought it might be fun to do a quick post about our favorite Pixar movies. As of today’s release, Pixar has now released twelve theatrical films (and even more short films) and nearly every single one has been a massive financial and critical success so the choices we had to make were certainly not easy. Feel free to hit up the comments and tell us about your favorite Pixar film!

“Oh, man! Such a hard decision! Do I go with the superhero antics of The Incredibles? The epic beauty of Finding Nemo? Or the mad-cap originality of Monsters, Inc.? I’ll go with Monsters, Inc. So many great characters, Boo is ridiculously adorable and probably the best Ratzenberger cameo in all of the Pixar films.”

Dinah

“Since everyone else here has mentioned my favorite, Monsters, Inc., I’m going to go with a tie between the oceanic gorgeousness of Finding Nemo and super-fun superhumans in The Incredibles. They both have all the elements you expect from a great Pixar film: astounding animation, fun adventure, hilarious dialog brought to life with great voice talent, plus the clever, imaginative details that are both surprising and delightful. And, of course, more than anything else: HEART. Maybe it’s the New Mom thing, but both of these films tug at my heartstrings and make me excited to show them to my son someday.”

Scott

“Every single one is magical in its own way. From the highly underrated A Bug’s Life, Monsters, Inc., and Cars to the genius of the Toy Story trilogy, the action of The Incredibles, the quiet confidence of Ratatouille, and the otherworldy silence of WALL-E. They’re all special. My favorite though, comes down to a close race between Up and Finding Nemo with the fish taking it by a fin. Michael Giacchino’s score in the marriage montage of Up brings me to tears every single time, but it’s the ethereal beauty and never-say-die attitude of Finding Nemo that catapults it to the very top of my list.”

Jackie

“Toy Story 3 was a solidly entertaining story on par with most live action films, but I also love the Pixar shorts which bring back the surprise and joy of what it felt like to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Presto has adventure, laughs and heart in under six minutes!”

Dre

“Monsters, Inc. hands down. Boo & ‘Kitty’s’ relationship was so sweet and heartwarming, and the entire idea was just awesome – a town that runs on screams! Adorbs.”

Brigid

“So many good ones to choose from! Up and Finding Nemo are my favorites.”

Emily

“Monsters, Inc. – I remember being floored by the incredible animation of the individual hairs and scales on the monsters.”

Tyler

“Its hard to beat Toy Story when it comes to my favorite Pixar movie. I remember all the hype around it being the first animated movie made entirely with CGI. Also, the hilarity and sophistication of the screenplay still stands up 16 years later!”

Julie

“Although Toy Story takes the cake for me in the world of Pixar, I feel inclined to also comment on my love for WALL-E. I remember being so immediately floored by the stunning visuals, that at times, I forgot I was even watching an animated film! I found WALL-E and EVE’s relationship to be absolutely charming, and the social commentary sprinkled throughout the film, hilarious!”
