October 7, 20177 yr Author 10. WALL.E 1078pts | 2008 | USA | Pixar Top 20's: JONJO #2, UV #3, DALEKTURRET #6, CODY #11, HAUS #11, MACK #15, BRIGHTPLACES #16, HARRY #17, CHEZ #20 alIq_wG9FNk Kicking off the top 10 is modern masterpiece WALL.E which follows a trash compactor robot in a deserted world, left to clean a largely abandoned city. However, he is visited by a probe sent by the Axiom ship, whom he falls in love with and pursues across the galaxy. WALL.E was unique for its minimal dialogue throughout the film and takes a stand against environmental problems. The film was an instant blockbuster and grossed over $530m worldwide & won an Oscar for Best Animated Film, as well as scoring 5 other nominations! The film was famously snubbed from Best Pic alongside The Dark Knight and is thought of one of the main reasons (though not as much as a main factor as TDK's snubbing) as to why the Best Picture line-up expanded! The film was named one of the best of 2008 by AFI and has a 96% approval rating on RT & won many critic awards + TIME named it the best film of the decade. This is the ultimate original Pixar movie for me and such an important and incredible movie to me, it's probs my 3rd fave film ever let alone my 3rd fave animation film! The characters of WALL.E & Eve are incredible and are beyond cute, the minimalistic dialogue work so well with the film and it is interesting, stunning visually and raises so many important themes. This film kept me captivated and hooked and is one of the films that rly ignited my passion for films <3 A modern masterpiece. (also can we talk about how this was released on my birthday as well *.* Best film ever released on my birthday easily!!)
October 7, 20177 yr I'm definitely due a re-watch of Wall-E really. I've only seen it bits and pieces since it was first released and I think I was a bit too young to properly appreciate it when I was 9 years old. I liked it a lot but I've always had it in the middle of my Pixar rankings as I found it less exciting as a child compared to stuff like The Incredibles & Monsters, Inc. Probably wouldn't have it this high in a personal countdown of my own but I'll definitely have to watch it again soon.
October 12, 20177 yr Author 09. Toy Story 3 1089pts | 2010 | USA | Pixar Top 20's: UV #1, HAUS #3, DALEKTURRET #5, FROOT #5, HARRY #6, JONJO #7, CHEZ #9, JAHQ #9, TAYLOR #11, JACOB #18, SEVEN #18 JcpWXaA2qeg Into 9th we have another Pixar flick in the form of another modern masterpiece, Toy Story 3 which is the 2nd highest Toy Story film here. The plot focuses on the toys dealing with an uncertain future as Andy prepares to leave for college. TS3 was the third installment to date in the Toy Story franchise and was released 11 years after the 2nd film. The film received critical acclaim & was the 3rd animated movie to score a Best Picture Oscar nomination and scored 5 noms in total; it won original song & animated feature! TS3 grossed over $1 billion WW & was the highest grossing film of 2010 + the 4th highest grossing film ever at time of release. In the UK it broke the record for the largest first day ever for an animated feature in sales revenue, on both DVD and Blu-ray. Additionally, on the first day of its iTunes release, it immediately became the most downloaded Disney film ever. TS3 was the first ever animated film to pass $1b worldwide and is the 6th highest grossing film of all time in the UK. The film has a 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes and was the best reviewed film of 2010 & won a Grammy, Golden Globe & Bafta. A sequel is set to be released in 2019. (Hype *.*) And we go from the film that used to be my favourite film ever in 10th to the film that replaced it in that spot in 9th. Toy Story 3 is my favourite film of all time & is an incredible masterpiece. This is one of those rare sequels that is somehow better than the flawless originals and takes it above and beyond. The characters are incredible as ever & the story is so good, and the end is heartbreaking I was in tears for ages after seeing the film!! Just an utterly perfect masterpiece that should've won this.
October 13, 20177 yr We all know my thoughts about the Toy Story franchise but this is probably the best offering of them all for me. Lotso was a great villain (completely despicable and makes the audience despise a cuddly bear which is hard to do) but it certainly wouldn't be this high on my own list...
October 22, 20177 yr Author 08. The Lion King 1129pts | 1994 | USA | Disney Top 20's: HAUS #1, CHEZ #2, CODY #3, JACOB #3, UV #4, JONJO #5, MACK #6, JOSH #8, HARRY #9, FROOT #10, SEVEN #11 4sj1MT05lAA Into 8th we have the final non-Pixar Disney film in the form of all time classic 'The Lion King', which I thought was going to win this! :o The Lion King is the 32nd Disney animated feature film and was part of the original Disney Renaissance. The song were composed by Elton John & the story takes place in a kingdom of lions in Africa and was influenced by Hamlet. The film tells the story of Simba who challenges Scar to end his tyranny and take his place in the Circle of Life as the rightful King after Scar's murder of Mufasa. TLK was the highest grossing film of 1994, the 2nd highest of all time on release, the highest traditional animated film & has grossed $968m worldwide after the 3D re-release. The film's first trailer was the entire opening sequence of the Circle of Life and received enthusiastic reactions from audiences and upon release, was accompanied by a massive maarketing campaign and Disney earned $1 billion with products based on the film in 1994. The Lion King earned a rare A+ cinema score and has a 91% rating on RT + received 4 Golden Globes & Oscar noms. The film won Golden Globes for Best Picture (musical or comedy) & Score and Oscars for Score + Can You Feel The Love Tonight. The AFI named this the 4th best animated film of all time and The Lion King has received some direct-to-DVD sequels and a live action version is coming out in 2019! The Lion King has ofc also had a massive stage adaptation which is breathtakingly wonderful. And how could we go without mentioning the music from Circle of Life to Hakuna Matana, this film created movie classics for the ages <3 So here we have another film in my top four going out this early in the top 10 :( The Lion King is a masterpiece for all ages and is one of my favourite films of all time. The film has held a special place in my heart ever since I was little and every aspect of the film is perfect. I love the story, the characters, the animation and the music and it was a complete moment getting to experience this on the big-screen for the first ever time during the 3D re-release. There is a reason why this is regarded as one of the best animated films ever & I am gutted this missed the top 5 here.
October 23, 20177 yr Shocked!! I really was expecting that to finish in the top three at least. I do love it (the songs especially are some of the best ever Disney tracks) but I must admit that I would rather watch a fair few Disney Princess films before watching that. The stampede scene still gets me every time though :cry:
October 23, 20177 yr Author #7 will be revealed later tonight. Any guesses? (why is this top 10 so mean to me.)
October 23, 20177 yr Author 07. Frozen 1187pts | 2013 | USA | Disney Top 20's: UV #2, SEVEN #6, BRIGHTPLACES #8, MACK #9, CODY #10, TAYLOR #13, REGINA #14, IZ #15, JAHQ #18, JOSH #19 TbQm5doF_Uc Into 7th we have the final non-Pixar Disney film in the form of all time classic 'Frozen' (cos I forgot Frozen was Disney so Lion King wasn't the highest messT), which should also be higher! Frozen is the 53rd Disney animated feature film and is part of the new Disney Renaissance that's still on-going. The song were composed by Robert & Kristen Anderson-Lopez , the film tells the story of a fearless princess who sets off on a journey to find her estranged sister, whose icy powers have inadvertently trapped the kingdom in eternal winter, and was influenced by The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. Frozen went under many story treatments, with obviously one of the biggest changes being turning Elsa from a villain into a hero. The film premiered at the Capitan Theatre and is critically acclaimed by critics & audiences. The film was also a GIGANTIC success, grossing $1.3 billion WW (including $400m in US which was one of my favourite ever box office runs to occur, seeing how it just kept to continue to outgross expectations), also including $247m in Japan which makes it the 3rd highest grossing film ever there. Frozen is the highest grossing animated film of all time, 3rd highest original film of all time, highest of 2013 and 9th highest of all films. The film sold over 18 million home media sales in 2014, making it the best-selling film of the year in the US and by January 2015 Frozen became the all-time best-selling Blu-Ray ever in the US. Frozen won two Oscars in Animated Feature & Original Song (for Let It Go ofc) and was snubbed in Best Picture, won Golden Globe & BAFTA for animation, 5 Annie's and 2 Grammy's. The film has had an everlasting impact with two short sequels so far, a proper sequel in 2019 and a Broadway adaptation. The films voice cast includes Kristen Bell, Josh Gad & Idina Menzel *.* A sing-a-long version was released in 2014 in cinemas (it was so much fun *.*) and is critically acclaimed with 89% on RT. Frozen's cultural impact since release is INSANE, it is still EVERYWHERE. Let It Go was a massive smash hit worldwide, peaking at #5 in the US and #11 in the UK on multiple occassions, but finishing top 10 in the end of year charts, only Idina could do that *.* I could write about this film forever but I'm gonna stop there, this film really broke so many records and boundaries and I'd recommend y'all to read up on it again and just see how much of a monster Frozen was. <3 So here we have ANOTHER FILM IN MY TOP 4 GOING OUT THIS EARLY IN THE TOP 10 :( wtf have I cursed all my faves or something??!! Frozen is my 2nd favourite film of all time and is a modern masterpiece and is just perfection. The characters are incredible and well thought out, I adore the story and the plot twist was so incredible and the message of the story meant so much to me whilst I was growing up. I saw this 4 times in the cinema and about 150 times since, an all time true classic. And ofc the music is perfection, from 2nd best song of all time musical masterpiece slaying your faves 'Let It Go' to Snowman & Forever and everything else made this soundtrack iconic. An everlasting classic that I could watch 24/7 and is still ugh sfg <3 <3 also this is 4 years old wtaf????? it does NOT feel like that long ago
October 23, 20177 yr Author ME LOSING MY ENTIRE TOP FOUR IN THE FIRST FOUR FILMS IN THE TOP 10!!!!!!!!!!! Can we not :drama: :drama: :drama:
October 24, 20177 yr Author Shrek 2 isn't 6th!!!!!!! This countdown is getting more and more iconic *.*
October 24, 20177 yr the right results this time xx 06. Monsters, Inc 1209pts | 2001 | USA | Pixar Top 20's: FROOT #1, JAHQ #1, HARRY #2, SEVEN #7, TAYLOR #8, JOSH #10, BRIGHTPLACES #12, JONJO #12, CHEZ #15, DALEKTURRET #15, SEVERIN #16 cvOQeozL4S0 You've all probably seen Monsters, Inc before but it's about two monsters (Mike & Sully) who are part of a team that scare children and collect their screams in order to power their community. A child gets through into the monster world and they realise that humans may not be toxic like they have been told. It is a hugely popular film both box office and review wise and I imagine is a childhood fave for many people here on the site. It won the Oscar for Best Original Song for "If I Didn't Have You" and was nominated for a further three Oscars. It also still stands in IMDb's Top 250 films of all-time list at #225. This is personally one of my favourite Pixar films so I'm glad it has finished so high here even beating out Toy Story 3 which I didn't expect. Monsters University was unfortunately not as well received but I really enjoyed that too, I would love for them to make a third film based on these characters :wub:
