A Bug’s Life.

On a comic book website — even one not particularly superhero-oriented — is there any way The Incredibles doesn’t win? (It helps that even many non-superhero nerds agree it’s the best Pixar movie.)

Also not surprising that, so far, Cars has yet to get a vote.

So hard to decide. Gun to my head, I’d choose between Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, but I could see the answer depending on what my mood was at the point the barrel was leveled.

I’m not sure why Cars seems to be so maligned (unless there’s a hidden legion of people out there opposed to remakes of Doc Hollywood). It doesn’t have the emotional highs of some of the other Pixar films, but it’s a patient, quiet movie about — well, patience and quiet.

I voted Wall-E.

I would have voted UP, but that movie was such an emotional movie, I am not sure I could rewatch it often, but Wall-E I could see watching a lot.

But I loved UP. And the first Toy Story was so good.

I would need to watch it a few more times, but I think Up would have to be it. It’s the most risky of all the Pixar films, has one of the more involved stories, and smartly hits all the right notes.

I voted for Up. This is, IMO, the best of all Pixar films. It improves upon every facet Pixar greatness. I recently sent a list to my friends ranking the Pixar films and Up was in my top spot, followed by Finding Nemo and the Incredibles.

You know my problmes with Wall*E so it fell much lower on my list.

I have never seen Cars–the only Pixar film I haven’t seen–and have no desire to do so.

My boys and I were watching the Incredibles again two nights ago–it has to rank high in the rewatchability category. What a great film.

Maybe I’ll see if I can’t get that list to you.

I have yet to see Up or Ratatoullie yet. (second one I can’t get past the premise of rats in a kitchen bleh) So I voted for Wall-E which just has so much charm and heart to it.

I really liked Up, but it was just too recent for me to be sure where I’d rank it. As for the rest, I realized that The Incredibles is the only one I actually bought on DVD, which seems like a good indicator. (That said, I have not seen A Bug’s Life or Ratatouille.)

I fell asleep during Cars, and really didn’t like the parts I was awake for.

I think Finding Nemo is a flawless movie, as is Ratatouille, but I voted for Wall-e because it was an ambitious departure from a studio that could keep cranking out perfect crowd-pleasing Hollywood movies forever (I say the same about Up, but Wall-E was bolder and more successful, in my view, though I liked Up, too.)

I went with The Incredibles, but Up is really close in the running. And, as people have said, they’re all good. If Cars is your “low” point then something is being done very, very right indeed.
