Pixar's 31 Film Rankings Reveal Hits, Misses as Toy Story 5 Approaches

A ranking of Pixar's 31 feature films evaluated each release over three decades, labeling several entries as low points—Cars 2 was called “patético,” Brave cited for recycled storytelling, and The Incredibles 2 described as a major disappointment. The list also notes stronger titles such as the studio's debut Toy Story.

Separately, commentary on the upcoming Toy Story 5 highlights director Andrew Stanton’s return, the film’s focus on emotional growth and the role of play in child development. The piece references the saga’s multigenerational appeal, noting that audiences who saw the original in the 1990s may now watch with their own children and grandchildren.
