There was a very meaningful scene in MU where Mike basically admitted that he couldn't achieve his dream to be a scarier b/c he wasn't built for it and lacked the natural talent, but he found happiness as essentially a scarier producer. As a middle aged guy, it is a powerful message b/c I haven't been able to do everything that I wanted, sometimes due to a lack of natural talent (i.e.: I am 5'8, I am not going to be next Michael Jordan). You have kids, it is in an interesting sense, a very good and almost never taught lesson to teach youths. Not all dreams come true, but you can still garner happiness.
@@coltonpiper6156 I forgot about that. It is an interesting message. I want to be married and have kids but like anyone else I always wanted to be rather wealthy or a titan of industry. Can you do both? Debatable, but it is hard so perhaps not. Sometimes settling isn't to shabby at all.

Great video. Pixar was part of my childhood and I will always love the early films. A+ summaries and ranking with your impeccable humor. I never knew you were a former Minnesotan!
For me: S: Cars, The Incredibles, Monsters Inc, Ratatouille, Toy Story 2, Up, Toy Story 3, Turning Red, Finding Nemo, Cars 3, Soul, Monsters University A: Inside Out, Luca, Toy Story, Wall-E, The Incredibles 2, Inside Out, Finding Dory B: Coco, The Good Dinosaur, A Bug’s Life C: Cars 2, Brave D: Toy Story 4, Onward, Lightyear
I also agree with Incredibles 2. I saw it during a special early screening thing that AMC theaters did. The catch was it was a double feature so you had to pay double because you also got to watch the first movie before the 2nd. I, as any logical person would do, bought tickets instantly because I love the first film. But as I was watching the 2nd film I really just noticed that I would rather be watching the first film. Because the 2nd as you said was essentially the plot of the first. If they make 3rd movie, then I hope it’s the plot I wanted from the 2nd movie. Have violet and dash in college maybe doing hero work on the side. Helen and Bob about to retire from hero work. And Jack Jack in middle school being rebellious. Also where the hell are the super villains. This is a world with a ton of super powered people. Some of them are bound to be bad. Hell it would be crazy if one of them tried to turn Jack Jack into a bad guy during his rebellious phase. I just wanted something new from the 2nd film and it didn’t deliver. The whole point of the 2nd film was making heroes legal again. But it felt like we kind of did that in the first film as the ending was them suiting up to fight the underminer. Aka not caring about being a super hero. So have it be legal and have an actual super villain. Not just a Dr. Robotnik Genius gadget scientist for the 3rd time.
I gotta say, I’m kinda surprised to see u rank toy story 4 kinda low when u ranked it as your second favorite toy story movie during your toy story ranking. Kinda sad since I personally think it’s the most underrated Pixar movie. But hey, it’s your opinion and it’s still a good video.
I like to consider Pixar the 'Star Wars' of animation, mainly because of how it changed the game with special effects in movies, albeit in the realm of animation, making 3D animation look that impressive.
This is the best summary/review of the Pixar films that I’ve seen🙏 I haven’t seen all of the films but this made me want to take a look at the ones that I’ve missed (But only ones that you recommended😆).
@@kennycodes Shrek, How To Train Your Dragon 2, The Road to El Dorado (painfully underrated!), Megamind(glad it pick up steam years after release), Ku Fu Panda 2 are all top tier DreamWorks.
This took a dumb amount of time to make. I’ll probably do a few more smaller ones and then see how they do first. If they take off, I’ll absolutely do Dreamworks
Great ranking! Absolutely agree with where you put Toy Story 4 and Soul! I've always found those two movies very overrated whenever people kept saying they are two of the best Pixar movies.

Great list! I have to agree with most of it. Also I have no idea how anyone finds those Cars films watchable, I’ve had no internet for the past 7 days and it was less boring than those Cars films
Cars 3 really was doing good, but the ending was like “WHAT!”. You don’t see Rocky throwing in the towel in the final round of against Mr. T. Like come on. It’s fine if he retired after he came back and won the race. Then went on to coach after. But giving up the spot in the final moments of the race. That’s not what a champion does. It’s like they wanted to subvert expectations and just managed to piss off everyone.
The entire time he was trying to do what he did in the 1st, give up glory for something more Dignity and respect, giving Cruz her chance was a big thing for Lightning to do, just like how he stopped to help Dinco, those moments are beautiful, it’s about sacrificing your ego for a greater chance for someone else to shine, let’s face it, Lightning was a legend no matter what
Up remains #1 for me followed by Inside Out, Monsters Inc and Soul. Something about Pete Doctor’s films just hit differently than the others. Iconic imagery, great characters, beautiful music and imaginative stories all capped with some of the most satisfying endings you’re likely to find. Many others including Wall-E and Nemo are right up there too. Here’s hoping their upcoming Elemental can deliver the goods after how disappointing Lightyear was. 🤞
Pretty good ranking I’d switch somethings around I’d put Toy Story 4 lower and Soul a bit higher. While I like Wall E I’d put it one lower as I get a little bored in the middle. I’d also probably put Dory one lower as I’m rather mixed on it mainly during the final act. I’ve never seen Luca and I’ve only seen the second half of Turning Red it didn’t really catch my interest from what I’ve seen. Also haven’t seen Lightyear but I have zero interest due to what I’ve heard how it all goes and to me the twists is just dumb and makes no sense but most things with time travel don’t.

The only movie I disagree with is Toy Story 3. That belongs in the Infinity and Beyond category and its dark tone works super well considering these would be things the toys would go through and Lotso is a character contributing to that darkness.
I'm gonna be honest this is about my same ranking, except I think I liked Lightyear more than you did. Idk man I'm a sucker for sci-fi, like good or bad I'll watch it. Plus it was visually gorgeous
3 Pixar Movies with Flaming Hot Takes 1) Toy Story 2 is easily the worst film in the franchise (for reasons-I think there are objective story decisions which weren't great). On the plus side When She Loved Me should be in the conversation with Up for perfect sad scenes set to music. 2) Wall-E is a far superior film when focusing on just Wall-E and Eva. The beginning 30 minutes of essentially a silent film are masterful, the ending is tense, the flying through space is incredible, It loses a fair bit of the charm and interest when humans are involved. 3) Up has an amazing 10 minute start. It never quite reaches the bar again. I also think the it goes slightly too dark at the end, and too obviously. Even as a kid I registered that Muntz was implied to be a serial killer, which represents one of a couple of major tonal shifts throughout its runtime. 1. Toy Story 3 2. Inside Out 3. Monsters Inc 4. Toy Story 4 5. Ratatouille 6. The Incredibles 7. Toy Story 8. Wall-E 9. Elemental 10. Coco 11. Up 12. Finding Dory 13. Toy Story 2 14. Soul 15. Monsters University 16. Incredibles II 17. Cars 3 (I am rethinking it in light of this and may require a rewatch, but I thought McQueen was the least annoying and showed genuine growth with decent stakes and emotion on first viewing) 18. Cars 19. The Good Dinosaur 20. Onward 21. A Bugs Life 22. Lightyear 23. Brave 24. Cars 2 25. Not Seen Turning Red and Luca
It's funny how in this video you place Cars as a weak movie compared to the others despite its Pixar' s highest successful franchise of all time neck and neck with Toy Story.
The only sequel you mentioned that I don't agree is better than the original is Aliens. It is an amazing movie, don't get me wrong, but I think Alien is superior.
26) Turning Red 25) Lightyear 24) Finding Dory 23) Cars 2 22) Monsters University 21) Onward 20) Cars 3 19) The good dinosaur 18) Brave 17) Cars 16) A bug's life 15) Soul 14) Luca 13) Toy Story 4 12) Toy Story 11) Incredibles 2 10) Up 9) Ratatouille 8) Inside Out 7) Toy Story 3 6) Coco 5) Finding Nemo 4) Monsters, Inc 3) Toy Story 2 2) WALL-E 1) The Incredibles
i disagree with movie Soul , it literally change my life - i means its rated as an adult content but yeah everytime i see it it reminds me to go out there and live plus Up - ive seen it like more than 5 times already in Disney plus , lol next to Up and Inside Out
Finally someone who dislikes Cars 3! The only reason why people praise it is because it "improves" upon Cars 2 but that doesn't make it any good. It feels like it's just trying to repeat itself from the first film instead of being it's own thing. Jackson Storm is basically Chick Hicks 2.0 and the opening race flat out copied the one in the original only with music change. Not to mention, the 3rd was was total ass and went against its message. Lightning McQueen shouldn't have given up racing and make Cruz do all the work for him.
I caught Lightyear on DP recently. It's surprising just how boring it is. The characters are stuck on a rock the whole movie, no space exploration, no fun and the zurg twist is just pathetic and predictable. The whole movie conceptually was a bad idea. On a side note: Onward is solid👌
I have watched all the Pixar movie rankings I've been able to find on RUclips, and yours is without a doubt the one I mostly agree with. Personally, I would have ranked Toy Story 4 way lower. Like in the "Put that thing back where it came from" category. I know, I know, there are some people who enjoyed it. I'm not one of them. It went against everything the whole trillogy had built ever since the first one came out in 1995, Buzz was portrayed as this stupid sidekick character, Gabby Gabby was a manipulative villain who got an underserved redemption arc. There is just a lot of stuff going wrong within this movie. Again, this is just my personal opinion, but I personally dread this movie. Which had never happened to me. I found Cars 3 and Lightyear extremely boring, but Toy Story 4 was the only movie ever made by Pixar which I straight ahead hated. (Animation was amazing, though. I'll give it that) On the other hand, I'm glad someone else appreciated Monsters University. Sure, it isn't as powerful as the first one (then again, Monsters Inc set the standards pretty high) but I think it shows a great message. I think it's important for kids and people to know that you may have this big dream, and you may put all your effort in it, but at the end of the day, you may lack the recquired talent in order to achieve it. Finding Dory was also a pretty harmless sequel in my opinion. It had both hilarious and sad moments. My main complaint was that once again, Finding Nemo set the standards pretty high. Also, I found the climax of Finding Dory way too long and even a bit... I dunno, let's call it bizarre. But the movie left me with a sweet feeling. Now, about Coco and Inside Out. I agree with most of what you said. Only I would have switched places between them. Don't get me wrong. Inside Out is a masterpiece, it's mindblowing, pure Pixar creativity stretched out to infinity and beyond. I cried (and I don't mean just a couple of tears, I needed ten minutes to put myself together) the first time I saw it. However, I can't help but feel that there aren't many funny moments in it. Sure, Pixar has made some movies with a more serious plot and less comedy such as Walle. However, when I watched Wally, the connection I felt with that adorable robot was instant, while I just couldn't made that connection either with Joy or Sadness. Still, Inside Out is still a great movie, it totally deserved the Oscar, it had some really good emotional moments, and the musical score by Michael Giaccino is just top notch. Regarding Coco... It's not one of those movies I tend to watch continously, but it's because my heart isn't strong enough to got through it again. But Coco is... It's Pixar Magnus Opus. It doesn't matter whether you are mexican or not. That movie will both break and steal your heart. I'm surprised that when you talked about Toy Story 3 you told us that you didn't really like the dark atmosphere, but you didn't mention the murder scene from Coco. Like... Along with the first scene of Finding Nemo, it's Pixar darkest scene in their record. (I don't know If I said this right). As for Toy Story 3, what can I say? In the moment, I loved that movie with a burning passion, but ever since Toy Story 4 appeared it kinda ruined it for me. Don't get me wrong, I still love it, but I agree the best ones are both Toy Story and Toy Story 2. It makes me so pissed when people say Toy Story 2 is the weakest. Toy Story 2 was one amazing masterpiece which brought the perfect closure to 1999, which I personally think was a pretty good year in terms of movies. And the fact that 90% of that movie was made in ONLY 8 MONTHS shows the lengths Pixar was willing to go in order to give their beloved characters a movie that made them justice. As for Cars 2, a bit of an unpopular opinion. I don't think is that terrible. Sure. For Pixar standards it was unnacceptable, and the humor was pretty bland and sometimes lame. But I think one of the reasons is so unpopular is because it came right after four years in a row of flawless pixar movies. To sum it up: Cars 2. Bad Movie? Probably yes. That terrible? Well... It's not the worst movie I have watched. I mean... I remember when I first watched it, three years after it was released, I had heard so many bad things about it, I thought I was gonna be emotionally scared forever after it. But it was just, "meh". Definitely not a good movie, but not the atrocious crime people said it was. It was just a movie aimed to increase the sale of little toy trucks and cars to the kids. That's its biggest flaw. I don't know If you'll ever read this comment but I would love to know your take on Elemental when it comes out.
Toy story 3 is too dark?? I'm sorry but this is one of the dumbest points you've ever made, Animation isn't a kids genre it's an art form which can do many things live action can't and it can be dark it can be matured & this story needed that mature storyline
I think Pixar from 1995 to 2010 was a period of consistent greatness, before taking a dip beginning with the release of Cars 2, and sometimes going back to their original greatness with Inside Out and Coco.
I found the movie dragged a good amount when Dory goes the aquarium. I didn't really enjoy the new characters, mainly the whale. The back and forth gag from the first movie was a bit annoying, making the whale sounds. It's not bad by any means, just not as impactful or memorable, in my opinion.
@@AdamDoesMovies idk man Dory with her parents that scene is the most impactful scene in both the films for me, and even in monsters university the lake scene is the best scene in both the films
@@buzzwithdrip6347 I mentioned how great the parent scene was. I just thought overall it was a little weaker. We can disagree. I still enjoyed the film.
@@AdamDoesMovies yeah & about Toy Story 4 , it was a better ending for Woody, who in many regards is the main character of the Toy Story series. His role throughout the films is basically a metaphor for the stages of parenthood. Toy Story 1 - How to deal when your kid no longer needs you to be the center their world. Toy Story 2 - The parental midlife crisis, thinking about what potential you had if you didn't have a kid, and then realizing that making your child happy is enough for you. Toy Story 3 - Letting go, when your kid is old enough to go off and be their own adult. Toy Story 4 - Empty nest syndrome, and how to cope when your life doesn't revolve around your kid any more. The third film was about knowing when to let go. The fourth film is about what to do once you've let go, thus actually completing Woody's story arc. > Toy Story 4 becomes less of an attempt to tie in previous themes Every one of the movies is thematically consistent, as they're all about Woody's purpose in life, be it having that feeling threatened, questioning if it's the right purpose, letting go of that purpose once he's no longer needed, or finding a new purpose for himself. Toy Story 3 is a better ending for the franchise but 4th is the better ending for Woody.
Toy Story 2 is my least favourite Toy Story movie. Just never liked it. And agree with Soul, seemed like everybody liked it but I thought it was boring
"I hate hippies, they've never been funny"-Dave. Judging by this video, neither have you. You lost me when you put Bug's Life in mid tier and putting Onward and Soul, two universally beloved recent Pixar movies in the equivalent of D tier, shows how much of a clown take this is and I should have checked out from listening to your nonsense sooner.
I don't think many people agree with your list. The Pixar movies from the 2000s are overall a lot better than the ones from the 2010s and 2020s while Inside Out, Coco and Soul are exceptions.
26 the good dinosaur 25 monsters university 24 toy story 2 it’s extremely overrated 23 wall-e 22 incredibles 2 21 soul 20 cars 2 19 lightyear 18 toy story 4 17 brave 16 a bugs life 15 cars 3 14 turning red 13 luca 12 onward 11 inside out 10 up 9 finding dory 8 finding nemo 7 monsters inc 6 ratatouille 5 the incredibles 4 toy story 3 3 toy story 2 cars 1 coco
Onward did not deserve this slander. It’s top 10 for me. The stakes in the final act, where failure managed to turn into an unexpected yet also more satisfying win was just my type of ending 🥹
There was a very meaningful scene in MU where Mike basically admitted that he couldn't achieve his dream to be a scarier b/c he wasn't built for it and lacked the natural talent, but he found happiness as essentially a scarier producer. As a middle aged guy, it is a powerful message b/c I haven't been able to do everything that I wanted, sometimes due to a lack of natural talent (i.e.: I am 5'8, I am not going to be next Michael Jordan). You have kids, it is in an interesting sense, a very good and almost never taught lesson to teach youths. Not all dreams come true, but you can still garner happiness.
Zootopia says that in a jokingly way. When the rabbit parents tell there kid they got to be so happy by “We gave up our dreams and we settled”.
@@coltonpiper6156 I forgot about that. It is an interesting message. I want to be married and have kids but like anyone else I always wanted to be rather wealthy or a titan of industry. Can you do both? Debatable, but it is hard so perhaps not. Sometimes settling isn't to shabby at all.
So glad you put Inside Out in top tier. It’s so underrated for how genius I feel it is. You the man Adam
The last one was an enjoyable video, and I am not really a tier list guy. Looking forward to catching this a bit later.

Great video. Pixar was part of my childhood and I will always love the early films. A+ summaries and ranking with your impeccable humor. I never knew you were a former Minnesotan!
Thanks! Yep, born and raised.
Your Tier list was amazing. I’d personally put Toy Story 3 at the top but the rest was spot on
For me:

A: Inside Out, Luca, Toy Story, Wall-E, The Incredibles 2, Inside Out, Finding Dory
B: Coco, The Good Dinosaur, A Bug’s Life
C: Cars 2, Brave
D: Toy Story 4, Onward, Lightyear
I also agree with Incredibles 2. I saw it during a special early screening thing that AMC theaters did. The catch was it was a double feature so you had to pay double because you also got to watch the first movie before the 2nd. I, as any logical person would do, bought tickets instantly because I love the first film.

Hooray, my line made it in for Cars 3!
I gotta say, I’m kinda surprised to see u rank toy story 4 kinda low when u ranked it as your second favorite toy story movie during your toy story ranking. Kinda sad since I personally think it’s the most underrated Pixar movie. But hey, it’s your opinion and it’s still a good video.
I do remember taking it higher. Time has not been kind to it. I also think ranking videos are dumb because my opinion changed over time
Killer video, as always Adam!
Always appreciated
onward and soul are underrated
30 seconds!
Can’t wait
I like to consider Pixar the 'Star Wars' of animation, mainly because of how it changed the game with special effects in movies, albeit in the realm of animation, making 3D animation look that impressive.
Wall-E, UP, and the Incredibles, i'll rewatch when i can. the rest i can take or leave.

Appreciate that Harlan, thanks!
Sir Miles Axelrod was the villain in Cars 2 and is a twist villain.
There you go that's what you need to know.
Adam, how about a DreamWorks tier list? I surely like Pixar, but have alway been a bit more of a DreamWorks guy myself.
@@kennycodes Shrek, How To Train Your Dragon 2, The Road to El Dorado (painfully underrated!), Megamind(glad it pick up steam years after release), Ku Fu Panda 2 are all top tier DreamWorks.
This took a dumb amount of time to make. I’ll probably do a few more smaller ones and then see how they do first. If they take off, I’ll absolutely do Dreamworks
@@AdamDoesMovies I can tell this took a boat load of effort and time to produce. Appreciate it. I hope it gets alot of views/likes/etc.
Great ranking! Absolutely agree with where you put Toy Story 4 and Soul! I've always found those two movies very overrated whenever people kept saying they are two of the best Pixar movies.
I concur with you.
Excellent Reviews 👍
I personally would not put cars over soul.
Agree with every single one of your rankings.... EXCEPT FOR SOUL!!!!!!!!!! One of the best Pixars I had seen in years!!!!!
"Disney got their grubby hands on them.." Sums up the last 10 years😭
bugs life will always be my favorite 😭😭❤️
Mine too
Everytime u burst out with anger it cracks me up 😭😭
Why doesn't anyone like a bugs life i thought it was more creative and fun compared to the new Pixar films like coco or toy story 3

Great list! I have to agree with most of it.
Also I have no idea how anyone finds those Cars films watchable, I’ve had no internet for the past 7 days and it was less boring than those Cars films
I actually enjoyed Onwards. It felt very genuine. Luca not so much.
Cars 3 really was doing good, but the ending was like “WHAT!”. You don’t see Rocky throwing in the towel in the final round of against Mr. T. Like come on. It’s fine if he retired after he came back and won the race. Then went on to coach after. But giving up the spot in the final moments of the race. That’s not what a champion does. It’s like they wanted to subvert expectations and just managed to piss off everyone.
The entire time he was trying to do what he did in the 1st, give up glory for something more
Dignity and respect, giving Cruz her chance was a big thing for Lightning to do, just like how he stopped to help Dinco, those moments are beautiful, it’s about sacrificing your ego for a greater chance for someone else to shine, let’s face it, Lightning was a legend no matter what
Not everyone. Lots of people liked the ending
Up remains #1 for me followed by Inside Out, Monsters Inc and Soul. Something about Pete Doctor’s films just hit differently than the others. Iconic imagery, great characters, beautiful music and imaginative stories all capped with some of the most satisfying endings you’re likely to find. Many others including Wall-E and Nemo are right up there too. Here’s hoping their upcoming Elemental can deliver the goods after how disappointing Lightyear was. 🤞
Agree on Up! I watched in with my wife and i teared up within the first 5 mins. The movie stays with you for a long time.
I’m glad someone else didn’t like Soul. I never understood why it was hailed as a masterpiece when it’s mediocre at best
Great lost and fun to watch and brought back some great and not so great movie memories
Pretty good ranking I’d switch somethings around
I’d put Toy Story 4 lower and Soul a bit higher.
While I like Wall E I’d put it one lower as I get a little bored in the middle.
I’d also probably put Dory one lower as I’m rather mixed on it mainly during the final act.
I’ve never seen Luca and I’ve only seen the second half of Turning Red it didn’t really catch my interest from what I’ve seen.
Also haven’t seen Lightyear but I have zero interest due to what I’ve heard how it all goes and to me the twists is just dumb and makes no sense but most things with time travel don’t.

I'm kind of nervous about Elemental because it's from the same director as The Bad Dinosaur but I just hope it'll end up good.
The film went through production hell so there wasn’t much he could do to save it
U should do a dreamworks movie tier list
I'm gonna be honest this is about my same ranking, except I think I liked Lightyear more than you did. Idk man I'm a sucker for sci-fi, like good or bad I'll watch it. Plus it was visually gorgeous

1) Toy Story 2 is easily the worst film in the franchise (for reasons-I think there are objective story decisions which weren't great). On the plus side When She Loved Me should be in the conversation with Up for perfect sad scenes set to music.
2) Wall-E is a far superior film when focusing on just Wall-E and Eva. The beginning 30 minutes of essentially a silent film are masterful, the ending is tense, the flying through space is incredible, It loses a fair bit of the charm and interest when humans are involved.
3) Up has an amazing 10 minute start. It never quite reaches the bar again. I also think the it goes slightly too dark at the end, and too obviously. Even as a kid I registered that Muntz was implied to be a serial killer, which represents one of a couple of major tonal shifts throughout its runtime.
1. Toy Story 3
2. Inside Out
3. Monsters Inc
4. Toy Story 4
5. Ratatouille
6. The Incredibles
7. Toy Story

21. A Bugs Life
22. Lightyear
23. Brave
24. Cars 2
25. Not Seen Turning Red and Luca
It's funny how in this video you place Cars as a weak movie compared to the others despite its Pixar' s highest successful franchise of all time neck and neck with Toy Story.
I never said it failed. I said I don't enjoy them. This is my personal tier list. If it was based on success, most of these would be at the top.
@@AdamDoesMovies oh okay but have you seen any of the merchandise from cars they are actually really good.
Yeah, my son had some of the toys. Quality stuff.
@@AdamDoesMovies the best ones are from the first cars movie in my opinion.
The only sequel you mentioned that I don't agree is better than the original is Aliens. It is an amazing movie, don't get me wrong, but I think Alien is superior.
Lightyear and Elemental 🥹🫶🏻
Why am I having deja Vous on this video. I thought I already watched this but a shorter one some days ago. Am I just having burnout from my job?
Haha, yeah. i removed the other version since it had a bad mistake in it and just made this one large video instead.
@@AdamDoesMovies ah. I see. Ok let me get back to watching then. I thought I burst a nerve. Lol.

why do they body swap the black characters? they turned Will Smith into a pigeon and Jamie Foxx into a cat
His reasoning for Toy Story 3 is azzenide.
unpopular opinion: I kinda liked the good dinosaur and brave
i disagree with movie Soul , it literally change my life - i means its rated as an adult content but yeah everytime i see it it reminds me to go out there and live plus Up - ive seen it like more than 5 times already in Disney plus , lol next to Up and Inside Out
Finally someone who dislikes Cars 3! The only reason why people praise it is because it "improves" upon Cars 2 but that doesn't make it any good. It feels like it's just trying to repeat itself from the first film instead of being it's own thing. Jackson Storm is basically Chick Hicks 2.0 and the opening race flat out copied the one in the original only with music change. Not to mention, the 3rd was was total ass and went against its message. Lightning McQueen shouldn't have given up racing and make Cruz do all the work for him.
The message was that it’s only to move on and find purpose to helping others succeed. It didn’t go against this at all
I caught Lightyear on DP recently. It's surprising just how boring it is. The characters are stuck on a rock the whole movie, no space exploration, no fun and the zurg twist is just pathetic and predictable. The whole movie conceptually was a bad idea.
On a side note: Onward is solid👌
Bro you hated on the good dinosaur your wrong for that
I have watched all the Pixar movie rankings I've been able to find on RUclips, and yours is without a doubt the one I mostly agree with. Personally, I would have ranked Toy Story 4 way lower. Like in the "Put that thing back where it came from" category. I know, I know, there are some people who enjoyed it. I'm not one of them. It went against everything the whole trillogy had built ever since the first one came out in 1995, Buzz was portrayed as this stupid sidekick character, Gabby Gabby was a manipulative villain who got an underserved redemption arc. There is just a lot of stuff going wrong within this movie. Again, this is just my personal opinion, but I personally dread this movie. Which had never happened to me. I found Cars 3 and Lightyear extremely boring, but Toy Story 4 was the only movie ever made by Pixar which I straight ahead hated. (Animation was amazing, though. I'll give it that)
On the other hand, I'm glad someone else appreciated Monsters University. Sure, it isn't as powerful as the first one (then again, Monsters Inc set the standards pretty high) but I think it shows a great message. I think it's important for kids and people to know that you may have this big dream, and you may put all your effort in it, but at the end of the day, you may lack the recquired talent in order to achieve it.
Finding Dory was also a pretty harmless sequel in my opinion. It had both hilarious and sad moments. My main complaint was that once again, Finding Nemo set the standards pretty high. Also, I found the climax of Finding Dory way too long and even a bit... I dunno, let's call it bizarre. But the movie left me with a sweet feeling.
Now, about Coco and Inside Out. I agree with most of what you said. Only I would have switched places between them. Don't get me wrong. Inside Out is a masterpiece, it's mindblowing, pure Pixar creativity stretched out to infinity and beyond. I cried (and I don't mean just a couple of tears, I needed ten minutes to put myself together) the first time I saw it. However, I can't help but feel that there aren't many funny moments in it. Sure, Pixar has made some movies with a more serious plot and less comedy such as Walle. However, when I watched Wally, the connection I felt with that adorable robot was instant, while I just couldn't made that connection either with Joy or Sadness. Still, Inside Out is still a great movie, it totally deserved the Oscar, it had some really good emotional moments, and the musical score by Michael Giaccino is just top notch.
Regarding Coco... It's not one of those movies I tend to watch continously, but it's because my heart isn't strong enough to got through it again. But Coco is... It's Pixar Magnus Opus. It doesn't matter whether you are mexican or not. That movie will both break and steal your heart. I'm surprised that when you talked about Toy Story 3 you told us that you didn't really like the dark atmosphere, but you didn't mention the murder scene from Coco. Like... Along with the first scene of Finding Nemo, it's Pixar darkest scene in their record. (I don't know If I said this right).
As for Toy Story 3, what can I say? In the moment, I loved that movie with a burning passion, but ever since Toy Story 4 appeared it kinda ruined it for me. Don't get me wrong, I still love it, but I agree the best ones are both Toy Story and Toy Story 2. It makes me so pissed when people say Toy Story 2 is the weakest. Toy Story 2 was one amazing masterpiece which brought the perfect closure to 1999, which I personally think was a pretty good year in terms of movies. And the fact that 90% of that movie was made in ONLY 8 MONTHS shows the lengths Pixar was willing to go in order to give their beloved characters a movie that made them justice.
As for Cars 2, a bit of an unpopular opinion. I don't think is that terrible. Sure. For Pixar standards it was unnacceptable, and the humor was pretty bland and sometimes lame. But I think one of the reasons is so unpopular is because it came right after four years in a row of flawless pixar movies. To sum it up: Cars 2. Bad Movie? Probably yes. That terrible? Well... It's not the worst movie I have watched. I mean... I remember when I first watched it, three years after it was released, I had heard so many bad things about it, I thought I was gonna be emotionally scared forever after it. But it was just, "meh". Definitely not a good movie, but not the atrocious crime people said it was. It was just a movie aimed to increase the sale of little toy trucks and cars to the kids. That's its biggest flaw.
I don't know If you'll ever read this comment but I would love to know your take on Elemental when it comes out.
lmao they did release another cars series wihtout anyone realising
Do mcu next
Early Pixar is god level, after 2010ish they kinda dropped off
How dear you I love the buzz Lightyear movie😢
went too hard on onward and soul
Toy story 3 is too dark?? I'm sorry but this is one of the dumbest points you've ever made, Animation isn't a kids genre it's an art form which can do many things live action can't and it can be dark it can be matured & this story needed that mature storyline
I think Pixar from 1995 to 2010 was a period of consistent greatness, before taking a dip beginning with the release of Cars 2, and sometimes going back to their original greatness with Inside Out and Coco.
Hey call me an idiot but my favourite movie is Lightyear 😮
Cars 2 does not get any good after the first half. It gets even more stupid and braindead by the third act.
Hey Finding Dory is just as good as Nemo it's just nostalgia stopping you, why is it not as good ?
I found the movie dragged a good amount when Dory goes the aquarium. I didn't really enjoy the new characters, mainly the whale. The back and forth gag from the first movie was a bit annoying, making the whale sounds. It's not bad by any means, just not as impactful or memorable, in my opinion.
@@AdamDoesMovies idk man Dory with her parents that scene is the most impactful scene in both the films for me, and even in monsters university the lake scene is the best scene in both the films
@@buzzwithdrip6347 I mentioned how great the parent scene was. I just thought overall it was a little weaker. We can disagree. I still enjoyed the film.
@@AdamDoesMovies yeah & about Toy Story 4 , it was a better ending for Woody, who in many regards is the main character of the Toy Story series.
His role throughout the films is basically a metaphor for the stages of parenthood.
Toy Story 1 - How to deal when your kid no longer needs you to be the center their world.
Toy Story 2 - The parental midlife crisis, thinking about what potential you had if you didn't have a kid, and then realizing that making your child happy is enough for you.
Toy Story 3 - Letting go, when your kid is old enough to go off and be their own adult.
Toy Story 4 - Empty nest syndrome, and how to cope when your life doesn't revolve around your kid any more.
The third film was about knowing when to let go.
The fourth film is about what to do once you've let go, thus actually completing Woody's story arc.
> Toy Story 4 becomes less of an attempt to tie in previous themes
Every one of the movies is thematically consistent, as they're all about Woody's purpose in life, be it having that feeling threatened, questioning if it's the right purpose, letting go of that purpose once he's no longer needed, or finding a new purpose for himself. Toy Story 3 is a better ending for the franchise but 4th is the better ending for Woody.
HOW DARE YOU PUT CARS 3 IN THE TRASH TIER 😡
I only love Toy Story & Monsters Inc
I will never agree to you on that.
@@captainmarvelwilson508 i love my childhood this movie not lightyear & monster at work. if you not agree so be it
the cars slander continues...
Rightfully so
@@wavwins no
Turning red is to high atleast it is not your favorite movie ever
Toy Story 2 is my least favourite Toy Story movie. Just never liked it. And agree with Soul, seemed like everybody liked it but I thought it was boring
If you hate Toy Story 2 than I there’s something wrong with you.
"I hate hippies, they've never been funny"-Dave.
Judging by this video, neither have you.
You lost me when you put Bug's Life in mid tier and putting Onward and Soul, two universally beloved recent Pixar movies in the equivalent of D tier, shows how much of a clown take this is and I should have checked out from listening to your nonsense sooner.
How are those unreasonable takes
My *EMOTIONAL* Ranking (Very Unpopular, like Literally Ever, for Me) 😊💯👍🏻:
1) Coco (10 and praise)
2) Onward (10++)

6) Up (10-)
7) Cars (10-)
8) Cars 3 (10-)
9) Brave (10-)
10) Soul (9,5)
11) Inside Out (9,5)
12) Finding Dory (9,5)
13) Wall-E (9,5)
14) Finding Nemo (9,5)
15) The Good Dinosaur (9,5)
16) Toy Story 4 (9++)
17) Toy Story 3 (9++)
18) Monsters, Inc. (9)
19) Monsters University (9)
20) Toy Story (9)
21) Toy Story 2 (9)
22) Cars 2 (8,5)
23) Ratatouille (8,5)
24) A Bug's Life (8,5)
25) Incredibles 2 (8+)
26) The Incredibles (8)
I don't think many people agree with your list. The Pixar movies from the 2000s are overall a lot better than the ones from the 2010s and 2020s while Inside Out, Coco and Soul are exceptions.
Where’s the planes review and planes fire and rescue reviews? I feel cheated!
Not Pixar. That's straight Disney.
Brave has the most terrible protagonist but doesnt suffer any consequences and nothing is learned. Onward is amazing. Shocked at how good it was.
26 the good dinosaur
25 monsters university

16 a bugs life

7 monsters inc
6 ratatouille
5 the incredibles
4 toy story 3
3 toy story
2 cars
1 coco
Onward did not deserve this slander. It’s top 10 for me. The stakes in the final act, where failure managed to turn into an unexpected yet also more satisfying win was just my type of ending 🥹
