4. Monsters Inc. (2001) - 9.277777778

Terrifying: 11 (princess_lotti, Froot), 10 (Josh, Slick, SamJudd, HarryEzra, LeeWallace, Jonjo, Ultraviolence1989, Chez Wombat, Dandy*, Emily Haines)
I've seen scarier: 5 (bipolar angel), 7 (Jacob Alan)

Rotten Tomatoes: 96%
IMDb: 8.1/10

Plot Summary: A city of monsters with no humans called Monstropolis centers around the city's power company, Monsters, Inc. The lovable, confident, tough, furry blue behemoth-like giant monster named James P. Sullivan (better known as Sulley) and his wisecracking best friend, short, green cyclops monster Mike Wazowski, discover what happens when the real world interacts with theirs in the form of a 2-year-old baby girl dubbed "Boo," who accidentally sneaks into the monster world with Sulley one night. And now it's up to Sulley and Mike to send Boo back in her door before anybody finds out, especially two evil villains such as Sulley's main rival as a scarer, chameleon-like Randall (a monster that Boo is very afraid of), who possesses the ability to change the color of his skin, and Mike and Sulley's boss Mr. Waternoose, the chairman and chief executive officer of Monsters, Inc.

My thoughts: This was really the surprise package of this rate for me, there was even a time where it was looking like winning, but it wasn't quite to be in the end. Still, a very impressive performance from one of Pixar's earlier films and, as A Bug's Life didn't quite do that, was the one film that showed that Toy Story wasn't the only stroke of genius that Pixar had up their sleeves. It remains a classic, and honestly while I was previously of the opinion that it was good but not THAT good in comparison to others, I rewatched/studied it recently and it has held up remarkably well and stands tall as one of the classics of Pixar's back catalogue.

In many ways this was the natural successor to Toy Story (though not as good and you're all silly for putting that below this ^_^), as many of the same elements can be found yet they still feel fresh against a new premise. While Toy Story explored the secret life of your own toys, Monsters Inc went to a slightly darker route by exploring the secret life of monsters under your bed/in your closet. A scary thought, but an innovative way of thinking round it - what if monsters are actually perfectly normal beings in an alternate world, who are terrified of humans and only the toughest must scare them in order to keep the city's energy supply running. It certainly makes the premise as interesting and less scary as possible and the film itself is structured and filmed perfectly - the dynamic of Buzz & Woody is also continued in our main characters, Mike & Sulley - who rather than similar egos are a study of contrasts in many ways and make for a hilarious and likeable duo, Sulley being the classic strong alpha male that learns to love and Mike the witty, intelligent sidekick, not the least thanks to the excellent voice talent of Billy Crystal and John Goodman, you really couldn't imagine anyone else could've brought them to life in this way, and a wonderful supporting cast, including the villainous Randall and the quite iconic Roz. The story is as heart filled as you'd expect and is a brilliant tale of gradually merging worlds with a suitably adorable (and not irritating, tough to get right for a young kid) human figure in Boo (who may be the witch in Brave going by the main conspiracy theory ;o), her and Sulley & Mike's relationship is perfectly arced for all characters, that you feel so much sadness when they inevitably have to go their separate ways. And there's a hell of a lot of tension keeping you on your toes as well - for a monster movie, it has suitably dark themes like the intended torture of children for business means, of course the ending is happy but the peril they have to go through is gripping. Additionally, It's easy to forget as well given how animation is constantly advancing, but it really looks the part - the design of every monster is so finely tuned and lifelike, and the scene with the door factory really shows how tough this must've been. Still a highly impressive achievement, especially as there's no lifelike monsters to base designs off.

All in all, a perfect all round film and though it's not quite good as the films that preceded it (alright I'll stop now), it was one that really showed Pixar were here to stay and is rightfully remembered as a classic.

Choice scenes:
- The very ending scene where Mike gives Sulley the piece of Boo's door allowing him to open it and see her, and see his face light up as he noticed is utterly beautiful (as well as pleasing;y ambiguous in a way for not showing Boo).
- The cafe scene when Boo first gets out and scares the monsters is an excellently done scene, in just that it's exactly the opposite from what you'd expect to see and a trademark to the film's ingenuity.
-

Choice quotes:

Sulley: [is fighting the invisible Randall when he is hit with a snowball] Mike?
Mike: Look, it's not that I don't care about the kid.
Sulley: Mike, you don't understand.
Mike: Yes, I do. I was just mad, that's all. I needed some time to think, but you shouldn't have left me out there.
Sulley: I'm being attacked!
Mike: No, I'm not attacking you. I'm trying to be honest, just hear me out. You and I are a team. Nothing is more important than our friendship.
[boo approaches Mike, frightened]
Mike: I-I know, kid. He's too sensitive.
Mike: [sulley is being strangled] Come on, pal. If you start crying, I'm gonna cry, and I'll never get through this. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but I am now. Hey, Sulley, I am baring my soul here. The least you can do is pay attention!
[Throws snowball; it hits Randall, making him visible enough for Sulley to knock him out]
Mike: Hey, look at that, it's Randall. It's... Oh.

Mike: Roz, my tender, oozing blossom, you're looking fabulous today. Is that a new haircut? Come on, tell me it's a new haircut, isn't it? It's got to be a new haircut. New makeup? You had a lift? You had a tuck? You had something? Something has been inserted in in you that makes you look... Listen, I need a favor. Randall was working late last night out on the scare floor. I really need the key to the door he was using.
Roz: Well, isn't that nice? But guess what? You didn't turn in your paperwork last night.
Mike: He didn't... I... no paperwork?
Roz: This office is now closed.
[closes the window on Mike's fingers]
Mike: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Charlie: [Repeated line] Twenty-three nineteen! We have a Twenty-three nineteen!

I love Monsters Inc and it is incredible but it is far too high! The last four films should have all beaten it!

'got stodybsbjng' is a masterpiece, but Pixar have definitely outdone it, imo. Still a timeless and fantastic film though. I can never decide if I prefer the first or third one...

 

'Monsters Inc' is so good too! Such a cute film with too many cute moments. :wub:

3. Inside Out (2015) - 9.5

All the feels: 11 (Josh, Emily Haines), 10 (Joe, SamJudd, Froot, Jacob Alan, Jonjo, Chez Wombat)
Numb: 8 (Slick, Dandy*)

Rotten Tomatoes: 98%
IMDb: 8.3/10

Plot Summary: Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness. The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

My thoughts: (May contain spoilers) Not quite winning out in the end (for the best, as it does need time to age imo), but getting rather close and receiving nothing below an 8 is the most recent Pixar film and sure to be a future classic if response to it is saying anything. Pixar had been a bit flagging by the time of the film’s release – while they were having no trouble with bringing in the cash, their films since Toy Story 3 had been getting a less than stellar critical response and with Disney Animation Studios firing in all corners with the recent release of critically acclaimed smashes Frozen and Big Hero 6, Pixar were somewhat threatened in their untouchable state in animation. Inside Out being their first release in two years following Monsters University, it had a lot on it’s shoulders proving they still had the good ideas.

Safe to say, it definitely worked very well. Inside Out is one of the most deepest, thoughtful, unique and, ahem, emotional films in Pixar’s back catalogue and the first true classic they’ve done since Up/WALL-E. Pixar specialise in making us think about the small details in life and making that their big concept, and what better to do this than our own emotions? Inside Out is a journey quite literally inside ourselves,it may be masked in a fantastical background with bright colours, but the characters, concept and journey are all very much grounded in our own reality. The picture of Riley's mind and her emotions that is drawn are a psychological vision with stunningly realistic attention to detail that can relate to all viewers young and old, from imaginary friends (</3), to dream factories to that irritating commercial song that gets stuck in your head driving you mad, it's all so wonderfully imagined. To very young children, below age 5 or so, it may seem a funny comedic colourful adventure, but to most of the audience the ultimate journey is something they can relate back to young or old - how what can keep you emotionally stable can be thrown into disarray with the changing world and circumstances, which is what makes this film so strong. It has some hard truths about the pains of moving on and growing up - Joy begins to lose Riley, Sadness becomes more active and how without these emotions, fear, anger and disgust can take over and can lead to the worst possible outcome and breaking down of your morals (islands as imagined by the film). The ending - which culminates with Joy realising Sadness' worth and importance to Riley and how she takes over as a way to warm Riley back to her family - is actually a hard truth, that you can't be happy all the time, and to keep your 'islands' afloat, sadness must be let in and some memories just aren't meant to be happy. It really is quite a moving sentiment that rings so true, whether you're in Riley's circumstances or not, and for a children's film to put this across is quite extraordinary - considering how simple the morals usually are and about happiness can be so simply achieved by true loves kiss or whatever. For all these quite mind bending messages to come from a film intended for children is indeed perhaps TOO well done, as I honestly can't see how very young children (which made up a sizeable chunk of the audience when I watched this) would understand this.

Asides from these meanings, it still works as entertainment certainly. The emotions themselves are wonderfully drawn and extremely well crafted characters are brought to life excellently, and read not just as perfect portrayals of emotions but also great characters in their own right. Amy Poehler as Joy and Phyllis Smith as Sadness of course the big standouts, I certainly would love to believe that all those emotions are like that in my head. And there is still room for some excellent comedic moments throughout, as well as a feast for the eyes with simply marvellous, imaginative animation throughout. There is also, unlike some of their other films, actually real potential that a sequel could work here as this concept is extremely fruitful as it is so grounded in our own selves - Riley growing up into a young adult for example would be a surefire emotional headache that again many can relate to. Whether this happens or not, Inside Out will surely be remembered as one of Pixar's most important films.

Choice scenes:
- The dinner table scene ending with the infamous foot is brilliant in the emotional banter as well as expanding this to Riley's parents and throwing many a chuckle moment. One of the many seemingly simple scenarios brought to life in this film.
- Any scene with triple deck gum *.*
- The end credits outtakes are also great for this, for similar reasons.
- Take Riley to the moon for me... :cry: :cry:

Choice quotes:

Joy: Do you ever look at someone and wonder, "What is going on inside their head?" Well, I know. Well, um, I know Riley' head.

Sadness: It's long term memory... you'll get lost in there.
Joy: C'mon! Think positive!
Sadness: Okay...
[pause]
Sadness: I'm positive that you'll get lost in there!

Anger: Congratulations San Francisco, you've ruined pizza! First the Hawaiians, and now YOU!

Fear: All right! We did not die today, I call that an unqualified success.

Disgust: What's "poo-ber-tee"?

Sadness: Remember the funny movie where the dog died?

which means your top 2 is Toy Story 3 vs Finding Nemo! Tune in tomorrow to find out ;o (well later today).

I love Monsters Inc but top 3 Pixar it is not. I guess Bipolar didn't troll it though.

2. Toy Story 3 (2010) - 9.583333333

Loved it (I can't think of any more puns): 11 (Ultraviolence1989), 10 (Joe, Slick, SamJudd, HarryEzra, Froot, Lee Wallace, Jacob Alan, Chez Wombat, Emily Haines, bipolar angel, HausofKubrick)
Ehhh: 6 (Josh), 8 (Johnkm)

Rotten Tomatoes: 99%
IMDb: 8.3/10

Plot Summary: Woody, Buzz and the whole gang are back. As their owner Andy prepares to depart for college, his loyal toys find themselves in daycare where untamed tots with their sticky little fingers do not play nice. So, it's all for one and one for all as they join Barbie's counterpart Ken, a thespian hedgehog named Mr. Pricklepants and a pink, strawberry-scented teddy bear called Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear to plan their great escape.

My thoughts: So just like the last Pixar rate, Toy Story can't quite get up there to win, however it's with it's second sequel this time (even bipolar angel liked it!!11). I still prefer the first myself, but this is a close second so I'm very glad to see it do so well. This film was such a breakout hit in so many ways - Prior to it's release, many thought that two was enough as, honestly, how many second sequels can think of that actually rival the quality of the original, and one that takes place fifteen years after that as well? It was unheard of, but this managed it and cemented the Toy Story series as one of the most beloved, near flawless trilogies of all time.

The film does well a lot of what I discussed with the second film of the series but takes it to another level and explores what the second was hinting at, but was never fully realised - just what happens to toys when their kids are just too old for them? Where do they go? This film answered that perfectly and proved there was more of the story to be told, and as a result, is probably the most heartfelt, emotional and in some ways darkest of all the three films. It's certainly the highest stakes - for the first time, the toys don't have Andy to go back to and are instead facing a new life in a daycare centre, where things could go well, but that is soon found not to be true at all and they are definitely put in the biggest danger they've ever been in. The daycare centre is likened to a dictatorial police state with shady leaders, hierarchy systems and surveillance with it's structure and how the toys are shown to be unloved and abused, our heroes (who are no less appealing eleven years on) are in the most danger they've ever been in, and not just Woody & Buzz this time, and definitely becomes thrilling but also shocking, as there is a real sense of danger for the toys when the daycare centre leaders turn on them, which of course culminates in the absolutely heart breaking incinerator scene where they are very nearly crushed. One of the most heart-in-mouth moments ever seen in the trilogy for sure, of course we all probably knew Pixar wouldn't do that to them, but the fact they came SO CLOSE really speaks for the heightened tension that the film brings. Every character of the original gang is given a chance to shine here (the aliens especially!), and Barbie and Ken certainly add a more...feminine aspect to the group that was needed, of course, Lottso (who Pixar did a good job of concealing his villainy in the build up) is the most notable new character for perhaps the wrong reasons. I certainly thought he was the biggest bast*rd Pixar have conjured up in a long time, but his presence is needed as he shows the worst of what can happen to a toy without love - and it's quite shocking to us all, as not only because of his actions but also because it could be metaphorically seen as what happens to those in society who do not get the loving they deserve, Pixar showed this to an extent with Sid and the Prospector, but not to the extent of Lottso. He was never shown getting proper comeuppance for his actions in the film (although it was implied), but really, the real punishment has already happened and it's the worst of what can happen to anyone. The whole film can really be seen as metaphorical of the pains and tragedies what can happen as you move on or find independence, it's harsh and tough, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel where you complete your journey.

There isn't as much humour present in this one as the other two, mainly due to the heightened tension, but Spanish Buzz and tortilla Potato Head are two examples that there's still the film's wonderfully dry humour is still there. Overall, this is the perfect if tense end to the trilogy, whether it matches the original is debatable, but it certainly served to carry Toy Story as one of the finely told stories in film history. Well it should've been, in reality, the ending may have worked too well, as it was so successful that they decided it was a good enough cash cow to justify a fourth, let's just hope for that one not to ruin this ay? :/

Choice scenes:
-

- The Barbie/Ken scenes, including where she interrogates him by cutting up all his outfits, add a quite refreshingly camp aspect to the otherwise highly tension-filled escape.
- Spanish Buzz *.*

Choice quotes:

Woody: So long... partner. ( :cry: )

Andy: Now Woody, he's been my pal for as long as I can remember. He's brave, like a cowboy should be. And kind, and smart. But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what.

Jessie: Buzz! We're your friends!
Buzz Lightyear: Spare me your lies, temptress! Your emperor's defeated, and I'm immune to your bewitching good looks.

Buzz Lightyear: Hold on, this is no time to be hysterical!
Hamm the Piggy Bank: This is the perfect time to be hysterical.
Rex the Green Dinosaur: Should we be HYSTERICAL?
Slinky Dog: No!
Mr. Potato Head: Yes!
Buzz Lightyear: Maybe! But not right now!
Hamm the Piggy Bank: C'mon. Let's go see how much we're going for on eBay.

Aliens: The Claw! (AKA, the moment everyone in the world breathed a huge sigh of relief :'))

Fantastic to see 'Finding Nemo' officially crowned the winner. :wub:

 

But 'Toy Story 3' is soooooo good and a worthy runner up. Not my personal choice, but still worthy (and that's more of a testament to how good Pixar are on the whole!)

 

Personal Rank:

 

One of the very best films of all time

01. 'Finding Nemo'

 

OUTSTANDING:

02. 'Wall-E'

03. 'Up'

04. 'Inside Out'

 

INCREDIBLE: >> These three are ALWAYS changing positions!! <<

05. 'Monsters Inc'

06. 'Toy Story 3'

07. 'Toy Story'

 

BRILLIANT/UNDER APPRECIATED:

08. 'A Bug's Life'

09. 'Toy Story 2'

10. 'Ratatouille'

11. 'Cars'

 

Don't love this as much as I should, but it's still good:

12. 'The Incredibles'

13. 'The Good Dinosaur'

14. 'Monster's University'

 

Ehhhh. Not really bothered about this one:

15. 'Brave'

 

NOT SEEN:

'Cars 2'

 

(almost) Flawless filmography!

Predictable winner. I absolutely adore 'Finding Nemo' but it's more 10/10 compared to the TS trilogy's 11/10 :kink: I do think in these things that the Toy Story lovers' votes are altered because there are 3 of them - even the biggest fans might downgrade their least fave of the trilogy just for comparison's sake whereas Finding Nemo as a standalone film will get more concentrated love. It probably explains why Toy Story the original is as low down as 5th. BUT ANYWAY everyone is welcome to their opinions and I will just disagree vehemently and get myself worked up in the process ~

 

Thanks for hosting this Chez! Such dedication to those write ups (and still looking forward to read the #1 commentary of course haha)

got stodybsbjng tho :')

 

Finding Nemo is a great winner, however I do echo the sentiments that Toy Story was too low!!! :(

1. Finding Nemo (2003) - 9.833333333

11 (HarryEzra, Jonjo, bipolar angel)
10 (princess_lotti, Josh, Slick, SamJudd, Froot, Jacob Alan, Ultraviolence1989, Chez Wombat, Dandy*, Emily Haines, Iz)
9 (Joe, Johnkm)
8 (Lee Wallace, HausofKubrick)

Rotten Tomatoes: 99%
IMDb: 8.1/10

Plot Summary: A clown fish named Marlin lives in the Great Barrier Reef loses his son, Nemo. After he ventures into the open sea, despite his father's constant warnings about many of the ocean's dangers. Nemo is abducted by a boat and netted up and sent to a dentist's office in Sydney. So, while Marlin ventures off to try to retrieve Nemo, Marlin meets a fish named Dory, a blue tang suffering from short-term memory loss. The companions travel a great distance, encountering various dangerous sea creatures such as sharks, anglerfish and jellyfish, in order to rescue Nemo from the dentist's office, which is situated by Sydney Harbor. While the two are doing this, Nemo and the other sea animals in the dentist's fish tank plot a way to return to Sydney Harbor to live their lives free again.

My thoughts: So here it is, your winner. Exactly like the last rate and I think pretty much every form of Pixar survivor/thingy we've had on this forum, Finding Nemo continues to dominate your affections. I must admit that it only seems to be this forum's rankings that hold it in such high regard, but then almost every one is different. Why does this continue to appeal so much?

Well, the animation is seriously lovely, even today, it is incredible how much detail and colourful beauty is captured of the oceans of the world, every little detail and sea life creature is covered and brought to life in such a wonderful way. For 2003 and now, it's an animation masterpiece, but it wasn't just the bright colours that made it stand out so much - there's a reason this was favoured over copycat Dreamworks film Shark Tale. Of all the films in Pixar's back catalogue, this has the most heart and pure emotion to connect to almost anyone. The story/themes are quite simple, there's no complex subtext to get into here, it just appeals thanks to how timeless and emotional it's storyline is and the main reason it works so well here is you really do care about the characters - Marlin is a refreshing change from the alpha male that Pixar had established at this point, and was far more affectionate and scared of the outer world, likewise Nemo is an adorable picture of a young child who wants to explore the world, but in reality, is unprepared until the events of the film change him - both father and son go on a complete full arc where they grow as characters and end up understanding each other by experiencing the other's fears, it's just quite a wonderful parent-child storyline which is just one way the film appeals to such a wide audience. The journey is gripping every step of the way because of not only the characters you care about, but the excellent supporting cast. There's such a wide array of sea life personalities bought to life, none of which feel like stereotypes - Sharks who are pledging themselves to tend their carnivorous, live and let live sea turtles, rude crabs, helpful pelicans and rebellious misfit fish seeking freedom, it's all here and all so superbly done that no scene/character feels unmemorable, particularly that of Marlin's companion, Dory, number 1 in the character rate for quite good reason. A masterstroke by Ellen Degeneres and if anything even more memorable than the main clown fish family. It would be very easy to portray her as stupid comic relief, but it doesn't - she is fully rounded character that, however short term her memory is, really wants to help out and is just likeable all round with her constant goofy one liners (there are many a great quote to be found here too). It's easy to see why she warranted a sequel, let's just hope it's good ;o

Overall, this film has more heart and sweetness than arguably any other Pixar film and there is such a resonant story to be had that both parents and children can find something to love here. It's imminently likeable through and through and is certainly a worthy number 1 as it does sum up a large part of what Pixar does so well.

Choice scenes:
- The Sharks Alcoholics anonymous type meeting headed by Bruce the shark, which...doesn't go as planned, still absolutely hilarious to this day.
- The angler fish scene (culminating in that address we all know so well), has a perfect blend of action and comedy.
- Who doesn't love Dory speaking whale?

Choice quotes:

Dory: Just keep swimming.

Dory: I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy. Come on, Squishy Come on, little Squishy.
[baby talk, the jellyfish stings her]
Dory: Ow. Bad Squishy, bad Squishy.

Bruce: [reciting] I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must first change myself. Fish are friends, not food.

Marlin: I promised I'd never let anything happen to him.
Dory: Hmm. That's a funny thing to promise.
Marlin: What?
Dory: Well, you can't never let anything happen to him. Then nothing would ever happen to him. Not much fun for little Harpo.

Dory: P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney.

Gill: From this moment on, you shall now be known as Sharkbait.
Bloat, Gurgle, Bubbles: Sharkbait! Hoo ha ha!
Gill: Welcome, Brother Sharkbait!
Bloat, Gurgle, Bubbles: Sharkbait! Hoo ha ha!
Gill: Enough with the Sharkbait.
Gurgle: Sharkbait! Hoo... bop pa doo.

Marlin: Crush, wait. How old are you?
Crush: Hundred and fifty, and still young, dude. Rock on.

Bruce: Now there goes a father. Looking for his little boy.
[starts crying]
Bruce: I never knew my father!
Anchor: Come on, group hug.
Chum: We're all mates here, mate.

I wanted to give each of them a spotlight moment as Pixar have such important films to me that it would feel wrong to just write a few words for each, so that's kinda why the results took as much time as they did! And I s'pose once I start writing about films, I can't stop :ph34r:

If you're a fan of Disney, I don't believe you have long to wait for a rate of Disney animated classics opening soon. Until then, just keep swimming <3

'Nemo' is one of about 3 films I recite off by heart! :wub: Ridiculously quotable!

Although in all honesty, TS is really old now. I'm sure the core BJ members childhood fave films are more in line with 'Monster's Inc'/'Finding Nemo' now, than it is the original TS/'A Bugs Life'. Which probably also explains why TS3 is the highest of the TS franchise. I personally don't think the fact they're a trilogy has anything to do with it tbh.

 

Oh and of course, incredible in depth write ups Chez! Loved the "Choice Scenes/Quotes" etc... :wub:

:lol: yeah that's probably right. Forgive me I'm being a blind stan but I can be when the films are THIS DAMN PERFECT. B-)

Great choice 'Finding Nemo' is a definite classic and this year's sequel has a lot to live up to, and 'Toy Story' was a perfect ending to a fantastic trilogy, always remember watching the 1st one at the cinema and was totally blown away (everybody was), at the amazing and timeless computer animation.

 

Thanks for this and only hope that my upcoming Disney rate will be just as successful.

I love Finding Nemo but I was really hoping it wouldn't win :( Toy Story 3 is my favourite movie of all time and means so much to me 💖💖

 

Thanks for the absolutely terrific hosting Chez and the wonderful commentaries! :wub:
