I'll start off by saying that I'm not koo-koo crazy about Pixar like a lot of people are. Often I find their humor nauseatingly sweet, their characters too perfect, & the plots suffocatingly didactic---but their films definitely have their moments, & many people absolutely adore them.
As inspired by Entertainment Weekly, organize the Pixar films that you've seen on how you liked them.
Feel free to defend your favorite films from each other (including me), but let's at least be constructive about it.
1) Toy Story 3 - It was that good. Despite the forced, awkward Buzz/Jessie scenes, it was overall a rather lovely movie with enough twists, turns, & poignancy to more than satisfy.
2) Wall E - Truly breathtaking imagery. I heart sci-fi. The humor was far too sugary. Didactic.
3) Toy Story - For once, the characters aren't perfect. Adult-ish humor is a plus.
4) Up - Carl, the old man, was nicely rounded. But the action was forced. Didactic.
5) The Incredibles - I couldn't stand the kids, but none-the-less this is a fun & highly-rewatchable movie. Didactic.
6) Toy Story 2 - I don't like bipolar Jessie. I found the story far too silly, & the humor was childish. Didactic.
7) Finding Nemo - Perfect, nauseatingly sweet characters. Lame humor. Gorgeous coral reef. Of course didactic.
6) Cars - Perfect characters that perfectly resolve their conflicts & extremely didactic.
8) A Bug's Life - Perfect characters that I absolutely couldn't stand. Didactic.
Your turn. You don't have to give reasons either.

They don't exactly have anything didactic in their films. If you notice it's all about the bonding of people. But you can't exactly call it a lesson for the viewers. It's a lesson for the character(s)
Your over usage of the word didactic is now void
[QUOTE=Mazakrov;23012701]Where's Monsters Inc.?[/QUOTE]
I haven't seen Monster's Inc since I was a little kid. I'd have to re-watch it to truly appraise it.
Also, I intentionally over-used the term didactic. The morals really do tend to bash you over the head. Subtle they are not.
Ah, so many 'dumb' ratings... so much for constructive criticism & mature disagreement.

Not really
It's all opinion my friend.
There's nothing wrong with adoring Pixar, just respect my apathy for it in return.

I haven't seen Toy Story 3 yet because Pixar fucks the UK up the ass by releasing their films over a month later than in the US.

also i have to disagree with everyone saying cars was bad. it was a great film, just not up to par with all of the other stuff pixar makes.
monster's inc is pretty excellent
I couldn't possibly list them, but WALL-E is my favourite. It was just so :3:-worthy.
I was in love with toy story. I loved all three of them.
But, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, and Up are my favorite.
This thread was super didactic. Thanks.
Toy Story 3
Toy Story 2

Monster's Inc.
These are the ones I most care about^
Then there is:
The Incredibles
Ratatouille
The only Pixar movies I haven't seen are Up and Wall-E, and by the looks of it, it seemed that I missed out. I'll watch them eventually.
