What year did “Toy Story” debut? …and also, “Monsters, Inc.”? Thanks! ---

No offense, **Jinx** , but why post such a simple, easily-answered factual question here - or anywhere on the SDMB, really? ---

[QUOTE=Hampshire] Well, let’s take it in a different direction then. How would you personally rank Pixar films? Best to worst. [/QUOTE] I’ve managed to never get aorund to seeing Ratatouille, which I plan to remedy, but until I do: 1. WALL-E 2. Finding Nemo 3. Toy Story 4. The Incredibles 5. Toy Story 2 6. Monsters, Inc. 7. A Bug’s Life 8. Cars The space is intentional. The movies 1-6 are magnificent films, and “Toy Story 2” is better than at least 49 out of every 50 movies that come down the pike, so its ranking as #5 should not be taken as a slight against it. WALL-E is every bit as wonderful and brilliant as you’re hearing. “A Bug’s Life” and “Cars” were not that great, but still very good. ---

I’ve only seen Toy Story, Toy Story 2, A Bug’s Life, and Finding Nemo but I love them all. But love Toy Story 2 and Nemo the most. ---

Based on how often I re-watch them, I’d say: [ul] [li]Finding Nemo[/li][li]Incredibles[/li][li]Toy Story 2[/li][li]Toy Story 1[/li][li]Monsters Inc[/li][li]Ratatouille[/li][li]A Bug’s Life[/li][li]Cars[/li][/ul] (Wall\*E doesn’t get released here until September) ---

1. Finding Nemo 2. Monsters, Inc. 3. The Incredibles 4. Ratatouille 5. Toy Story 2 6. Toy Story 7. WALL-E 8. A Bug’s Life 9. Cars Cars and WALL-E were rather disappointing to me, I’m afraid. Still ahead of the competition, perhaps, although I wouldn’t say so with such certainty as others do. I do feel I’m in the minority for liking Monsters, Inc. so much. They had me at the promo before Harry Potter … ---

My list: favorite to less than favorites. 1. Monsters, Inc. 2. Toy Story 3. Finding Nemo 4. A Bug’s Life 5. The Incredibles 6. Cars 7. Toy Story 2 I haven’t seen either Ratatouille or Wall-E, but I imagine they’ll be ahead of TS2. (I didn’t love TS2.) ---

From my most to my least favorite: _The Incredibles Toy Story 2 Toy Story WALL-E Monsters, Inc. A Bug’s Life Finding Nemo Ratatouille Cars_ The worst Pixar movie is still better than the overwhelming majority of other Hollywood releases. ---

My List: **The Incredibles** - One of the greatest movies ever made. The next 6 are all very good movies and can go in any order. **Toy Story Monsters, Inc. Toy Story 2 Finding Nemo** - My kids loved this one and would put it second. **Ratatouille WALL-E** **A Bug’s Life** - Not great but not bad. My kids enjoyed it. **Cars** - This movie was not only was miserable for me, but my kids barely sat through it. They were enraptured by the other 8. Pixar has 7 very good or better movies and 1 okay movie and 1 Dud in my book. ---

_The Incredibles Wall-E Finding Nemo Toy Story 2 Ratatouille Toy Story Monsters, Inc. A Bug’s Life Cars_ Everything up through _Toy Story_ count as among some of the greatest films ever made. _Monsters, Inc._ and _A Bug’s Life_ were solid films, but not exceptional. _Cars_ was decent enough for a kids film, but not worth seeing if you don’t have a six year old. ---

Gah, I was planning on starting this exact thread, well the ranking Pixar movies part of it anyways, once I saw WALL-E which I just did a few minutes ago. And here I miss my chance by mere hours. Anways: 1. Toy Story 1a. Toy Story 2 2. WALL-E 3. The Incredibles 4. Finding Nemo 5. Monsters Inc. 6. A Bugs Life 7. Cars 8. Ratatouille I’m a huge Pixar fan and I loved WALL-E. It’s only a hair behind the Toy Story series for me and I think the edge has mostly to do with the sheer number of great voice actors in Toy Story where WALL-E is much more subtle with the limited dialogue. The rest are all tightly bunched together in a second tier with the exception of Ratatouille. Man I didn’t like that movie at all. There wasn’t a single sympathetic character in that whole movie and the plot was about as boring as can be, it sure looked pretty though. ---

1. Toy Story 2 2. Toy Story 3. A Bug’s Life 4. Wall-E 5. Cars 6. Monsters, Inc. 7. Finding Nemo 8. The Incredibles 9. Ratatouille They’re all winners in my book, though. ---

_Finding Nemo_, _Monsters, Inc._, _The Incredibles_, _WALL-E_, _Toy Story_ - Loved them; _Ratatouille_, _A Bug’s Life_ - liked them; _Toy Story 2_, _Cars_ - indifferent to them. _Enchanted_ was sweet and the Narnia movies are pretty decent, but Disney should just team up with Pixar permanently in the future. That new _Beverly Hills Chihuahua_ movie makes me cringe and shudder just typing the title. ---
