Hmm... this board's still here...
So, what's your favorite Pixar movie? I think they're all good, but my favorites are Monsters, Inc. and The Incredibles (although I've grown less fond of Incredibles since it keeps showing up on tv).
Also, discussing the future: 2011 will see the release of Cars 2, which will be a secret agent movie (trailers are on youtube), and Pixar will add to the already colossal movie schedule in 2012 by releasing two movies in the same year for the first time ever: Brave (about some Scottish princess who wants to be a warrior) and Monsters, Inc. 2.
I think Wall-E or Up were my favorites. Wall-E was very metaphorical, and stunning; Up was epic and funny.
Honestly, I think Cars 2 will be not only Pixar's worst movie, but it's only BAD one. Before, Pixar has made ok movies at WORST: namely Ratatoullie and A Bug's Life. Everything else has been great, or even fantastic. But Cars 2 seems more like a Disney concept, and not a PIXAR concept. It's not even an appealing concept, like all their other movies have been.
And Monster's Inc. 2 sounds iffy as well, but since we don't have any info besides just the sequel, I guess it could turn out great.
I loved Up. Cars was ok, but definitely behind most of the others. It just never appealed to me much.
Monsters Inc was okay too, but let's see if they ruin the sequel. Just like what happened to Shrek. IMO, each new Shrek movie got worse and worse. Haters gonna hate.
Wall-E and intercourse ing Toy Story
I didn't like Cars and Cars 2 is probably going to be complete poop but okay.
Any Sequel cant beat the original.

It's not really THAT uncommon of an occurrence; we just didn't like Cars to begin with.

toy story 2 wasn't better than toy story
also terminator 2
I thought Toy Story was better than Toy Story 2 also.
Fine, but Toy Story 2 was still a great sequel. Also, yes, definitely add T2 to the list.
Toy Story, but to be fair I've seen every Pixar movie(like everyone should) and every last one is easily the best animated film the year it was released.
For those of you saying Cars 2 will be poop you do realize this is...PIXAR...right? The day they put out a bad movie is the day the world ends, so brace yourself, I guess.
Well, Cars was very MEH. It wasn't bad per say but it was meh and easily the worst Pixar has ever done. And I never have hope for sequels. EVER. Until I've seen the thing and can verify it is good, I assume sequels are bad. So yeah, a sequel to a very meh movie. I hold no hopes for it.
I thought Cars was charming, but if I was forced to throw a movie at the bottom of the Pixar list then yeah, it'd be it.
I've seen every Pixar film and short film (that I know of) and they have yet to make something I didn't like.
This may not make sense: Toy Story is my favorite, but I think Toy Story 3 was better.
The four best movies from Pixar were Up, Wall-E, Toy Story 3, and Toy Story.
Monsters Inc and Finding Nemo are close backups.
Underrated Pixar films are Toy Story 2, A Bug's Life and The Incredibles.
Cars wasn't the best, but by no means was it bad. And considering they're Pixar (they know what's good and what's not), I don't expect Cars 2 to be bad. They'll probably change what was disliked about Cars and make it much better.

I personally didn't like TS2 as much as any of their other movies. It wasn't
bad, but it really wasn't terribly memorable. A Bug's Life was pretty cool, though.
The Incredibles was pretty cool. It was definitely apart from the other movies as far as theme in a way, but it was very well designed and remains one of my favorites.
I haven't had any urge to watch Toy Story 2 as much as I did the first and third.
Was Antz Pixar?
Or was that made by a different company?

Antz was an ex-Pixar employee trying to ruin Pixar by releasing same-y movies with lower quality just before Pixar's movies. There was some shark movie just before Finding Nemo came out as well. Needless to say it didn't work. :P

Oh, man. I knew there was something odd about that movie.

THAT was it. Yeah, I don't even bother to remember it. :P
Honestly? Ratatouille is my favorite. Fuck you guys for not even mentioning it. I guess my second favorite would be some sort of tie between Toy Story and Up.
I've seen all of Pixar's films except for Cars. And I haven't seen Toy Story 3 yet, but it'll be the next movie I watch. I'll see Brave, but I'm probably going to stay away from Cars 2 and Monster's Inc. 2.
I can't say my favorite... All of Pixar's films that I have seen have been good. It's usually the last one I've seen. I can say that when I was younger I didn't appreciate Pixar (or movies in general) that much, so movies that I might have a less fond feeling for would most likely dissipate if I were to watch it again now. Monster's Inc. is one of those - I disliked it when I saw it at a younger age, but recently watching it with my niece has made me think otherwise.
Ratatouille is another movie that earned a bad rep with me because I went in not wanting to see it, so therefore I made myself hate it. Although I know that if I saw it again now, my opinion would change.
Toy Story and A Bug's Life both earned a cold shoulder from me. That's because I watched them when I was little and hated movies. I've seen them both again since and my opinion has changed.
All the Pixar movies that I've seen after a certain age I've liked the first time (The Incredibles, Finding Nemo, Up, Wall-E). Ratatouille is the exception because of something personal that happened before the movie, causing me to not be in the right mood and causing me to dislike it.
But yeah, now I like Pixar and all their films. Minus Cars, which I never saw.
Up is my absolutely favorite, partially for the tear jerker beginning. It was wonderful how such a sad beginning to a story turned into something so fun and funny. Plus it has some of my favorite music for the Pixar films and quite a few very memorable visuals.
Ratatouille was amazing.
Up on the other hand I haven't seen yet, so I can't comment on that.
