Every Pixar movie ranked – CNET [CNET]

Pixar is about as good as it gets. Since the release of Toy Story in 1995, Pixar has developed a plethora of movies that tap into the human experience in the most unexpected ways.

Through colorful characters and anthropomorphized toys, cars, animals and robots, Pixar filmmakers have explored our struggles with tragedy, loss and grief (including even the meaning of life), as well as the importance of love, family and friendship. 

Each of Pixar’s 24 feature films taps into themes of love and loss in different ways, which makes ranking them no easy task. It’s inevitable this list will ruffle some feathers, which is a testament to how much these movies mean to audiences. But in determining rankings, five key attributes of each film were examined: plot line, characters, depth, cultural impact and rewatchability. This helped with the incredibly difficult task of figuring out which flicks should top the list.

So, without further ado, here’s our ranking of the best Pixar films from the last 26 years.
