“I just met you and I love you” is my cat, Mama Smokey, to a T! I don’t call her “aggressively affectionate” for nothing… if she wants cuddles, she GETS cuddles!
Brave was released on my 18th birthday the year my mom died. I can't remember if she even got to see it. We had a tumultuous relationship. To this day, I cry when I watch it. Objectively, I know it's not the best Pixar movie, but I have a soft spot for it. It had so much potential and so much heart, it was just suffered from the conflicts during production and too many plots being combined.
Fun fact: my instructor in film school worked at Disney during the time Cars 2 came out. It was made intentionally terrible. Basically Pixar was only under contract with Disney for a certain number of movies. Pixar did animation for a segment in Fantasia and expected that to count as one of the movies, but Disney disagreed and refused to let them go. As a result, Pixar intentionally made Cars 2 terrible as a huge middle finger to Disney. Idk if I remembered all the details right but I think you boys should look into it for a future vid!
It isn't terrible though. Idk anyone that actually *hates* the movie. It's just not up to the usual standards they have. I'll agree with the brothers here, everything they've made is a 6/10 or better. Cars 2 is that 6/10.
@@tylarjackson7928 I have heard quite a few reviewers and other people say that if nothing else it's their least favorite pixar movie usually going so far as to meme the cars 2 tier or something similar. I agree that it's still not terrible on the same level as the new Pinocchio movie and stuff like that, but it's still by many peoples standards pretty bad.
@@j.asmrgaming1228 Which Pinocchio movie are you referring to? I googled it, and the newest I saw that's out was 2019, and that has an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes and won several prestigious awards, so I assume you're not talking about that one.
To me, Finding Nemo is untouched. The story is amazing in its simplicity, but every problem that arises is organic, and is solved due to ingenuity and character-advancing breakthroughs- Marlin learning to let go, Dory building connections, Nemo growing and trusting his own abilities. This is the only Pixar movie to me where the "tearjerker" moment feels truly earned and not an annoying, heavy-handed nudge to make me cry. First, the openner with Coral protecting her babies. And finally when Nemo pretends to be dead and Marlin finds him like that. They are given weight, but not in a way that's so obvious and emotionally manipulative. I also love, love, love the environments. Gorgeous! Of course the coral reefs look amazing. But even the way they animated vast open waters. And the score is top notch. Perfectly accompanies the great adventure. But with numbers that evoke such peacefulness. Nemo Egg gives me chills and makes me teary every single time. I think Toy Story gives it a run, but this is some of the best voice casting for Pixar, too. I love this movie. I think it's actually perfect.
Absolutely though it’s in my third spot, ratatouille and coco inches it out for me, ratatouille was that kid movie that I watched on repeat I watched it three times in one day once XD
I’m glad you agree with how Pixar will try to emotionally manipulate the viewers. That’s why I prefer movies like A Bug’s Life, Luca, Cars, ect. It’s also one of the reasons why I don’t really like Toy Story 3/4, Inside Out, ect. I do really like Finding Nemo. It’s not my favorite, but I love the atmosphere and the story. It’s done really well. Also, Willam Defoe is always a win.
Finding Nemo to this day is still my all-time favorite Pixar film, and 1 of my favorite animated films or just films in general of all time. It's actually so interesting and mind-blowing to me that as a kid when watching this, I would relate a lot more towards Nemo, but still understood Marlin's protective dad phase. Now as 23 years old, (even though I don't have kids yet) I find myself relating more with Marlin, but still understanding Nemo's perspective. This is 1 of the only films I've seen that has made me feel differently about characters the more I grow up and become an adult. It's super fascinating. Of course, the opening scene with Coral and most of her children being taken away from Marlin and him protecting egg Nemo is still to this day 1 of the most gut-wrenching and emotional scenes I've ever seen in media and makes me tear up just thinking about it. This film has always been apart of my life and will always be a major part of my life until the day I die. It's a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Truly perfect...
J's story about The Good Dinosaur showed how it is often personal connections that can increase your overall perception of a film. I will say that my feelings about Finding Nemo and Finding Dory are that they belong in the top tiers because of my personal connections to them. As a special education teacher, and the sister of someone with both physical and cognitive disabilities, I found that representation to be very meaningful. I will also always have a special place in my heart for FN because right after my high school graduation, my family went on a Disney cruise and the film premiered that week, so we got to see the film while on the ship and we were given buttons, "I saw it first at sea."
I agree! It's a similar reason why Ratatouille is so high on my list besides nostalgia. I saw it with my dad in theaters when i was a kid and one time while i was watching it several years ago, i got a phone call from him saying he was having a heart attack. (he's fine and alive now, thank goodness!) There may have been another special occasion in between, i can't remember, but it's definitely a movie i always reach for because of the good looking food, relatable characters, and beautiful setting! It always makes me feel cozy inside
I have similar feelings about Toy Story 4. It's obviously not the best in the series but I saw it right before I moved away from home for the first time so the story of Woody leaving on to a new chapter in his life connected really strongly with me.
Coco is my absolute favorite Pixar film. I was sobbing at the end there and it stayed with me for much longer than any other Pixar film has. Love that movie.
I remember counting the actual unique words of dialogue that Wall-E said in the movie and it was ~24. Yeah that's something so impressive (main character saying only 24 unique words in the movie and still feeling emotions from him) that I have to make it a top 3 Pixar movie on that alone.
Fun fact about Brave! It was actually the other way around (of what you guys were imagining). The movie started as a mother-daughter story, based on the life of the director (a woman). But she left mid-way (fired I think?) and the guy that they put in as director didn't think the story was interesting enough so he made it more of an action movie. Truly a tragedy, in my opinion.
It has such a severe identity crisis. I remember at the time being SO disappointed at the sudden turn into the bear storyline out of almost nowhere. At the same time, if that had been foreshadowed more clearly and that was what the actual film had been clearer that it was about then it would have probably been much clearer and purposeful. I agree the (forced removal/coerced stepping down kind of situation I think) of the original director was what seems to have totally waylaid the movie.
Wall-E is such an interesting comparison to Ratatouille to me. I swear Wall-E is the epitome of a film that ACTS like it has wisdom, but at the end of the day is just baby's first existentialism with a cute robot. There is more actual wisdom JUST in Anton Ego's speech at the end of Ratatouille than in the whole of Wall-E. Number 2 in the whole canon behind only the GOAT that is Inside Out.
Really cause at least it’s get credited for being a Pixar film unlike the real most underrated Pixar movie ever CARS 2. It’s great on soo many levels. People were just to ignorant and thought they knew what this franchise of the Cars Franchise is when the first film show 1 bit of what this franchise is and not so much what these films should be about. The Cars franchise is about John Lasseter showcasing the world the things that made his childhood growing up. 1st film, cars themselves, road trips and his love for the automotive world. 2nd film, spy movies, spy cars and travelling around the world.
The Cars Trilogy is the best of all time in my opinion, but I do get some of the hate Cars 3 got because it is ridiculous how little screen time Mater got do to the amount of hate Cars 2 got which angers me to this day.
When Inside Out came out I was like 15 or 16 and I refused to watch it because "its a kids movie" then in grade 12 my English teacher made us watch it for an assignment, and I was quite annoyed - but I was pleasantly surprised. It's such an informative movie - no matter who you are. It wasn't just a kids movie that adults can appreciate - its just a movie that both adults and kids can enjoy,
I think my favorite Pixar movie is Wall-E. It's incredible how you can put so much emotion into such an understated package. It says more with it's silences than a thousand words could.
See I think Brave totally works because in the banquet hall when Merida gives her speech she becomes closer to her mother. She takes that step and starts seeing things her way and also starts appreciating hrf mother's diplomatic skill, whereas with the bear you have Merida's mom become more like Merida. The fighter, the courageous warrior. The feral bear represented what happens when you let resentment born from miscommunication blossom into hatred. Ultimately it was understanding and the willingness of Merida's mom to fight when negotiating no longer works, to go with the flow and for once not think to defeat mordeau and break the curse. It wasn't just Merida mending the tapestry snd trying to heal the breach (although I think it would have been enough to break the mom's curse) it was also the mom walking a bit in her daughter's shoes. Merida learned to appreciate her mom which would have been enough to heal the wounds and break the curse. But Merida's mom learning to appreciate Merida gave them a chance at true overflowing happiness and joy in eachothers company. They became friends beyond just mother and daughter and I really love that. That nuance there it's so hard to describe but as someone who has always failed to actually reach that with my mom, I definitely see and feel it. This movie is top tier for me.
I think this comment is very inspiring. After watching this video, I wanted to start watching the Pixar Movies I’ve never seen. I watched the movie, but thought it was only ok at best, but hearing you talk about this now, I want to watch it again to try and understand more.
The Good Dinosaur is my favorite Pixar movie (I honestly can't even explain why; it just breaks my heart wide open and makes me feel so full) to the point where just thinking about it makes me weep like a baby. While I can see that you guys don't agree, your opinions are totally valid! My favorite thing about these movies is how different people perceive them differently. Every movie has its deep and meaningful moments that connect to so many people in so many different ways. What a special thing we all get to experience!
Not to mention (for Toy Story 2) figuring out later that the conflict/tragedy of the Prospector character can also be viewed as somewhat of a metaphor for what happened to Hollywood films during the transition from the 50s and early 60s into the late 60s and early 70s. The Cowboy Western genre was HUGE and then fell out of vogue.
Since having my son, and watching much cars trilogy, my epiphany for Cars 2 is, that’s how a kid plays with cars. They drive up the walls and they fly and they crash and they swim and anything is possible. That being said, i still don’t really like it haha. But I see why kids might. I toggle between cars and cars 3 much more often though.
Over the years I’ve come to realize… I like Brave more than (what seems like) most people. I would put it at A+(113)…. I couldn’t tell you why but it’s just a movie I really enjoy. I think I tend to enjoy really good visual looking movies.
I fully agree. I also think the message of life working out not in the ways you planned it, but how it was supposed to be, is so beautiful and well done. Mike and Sully failing out of college and still having a good life reminds my anxiety ridden brain that life isn't made up of just one path or one mistake.
Coco is stunning. I’ve worked with immigrants escaping war-torn countries, and the medical field. When you see families across the bridge and start wondering how you all got there at those ages…. Chills and redemptive all at once. Very comforting if you are frequently witnessing death or hear the tales second hand. I was amazed how much I loved it. And the music is just FUN!
I feel like I'm in the minority here, but I don't find the opening to Up as sad as people say, especially considering you found it sadder than Finding Nemo. Ellie and Carl got to live a happy life. She was presumably in her 80s or so when she died. Compared to Coral, who died much younger (in clownfish years), plus how all but one of Marlin's children were also killed.
I think it's because Coral (and the kids) dying happened so fast whereas you can see Ellie and Carl growing up and going through their life so it hits harder when she dies. But I do see where you're coming from. I have them both pretty high on my list but they're in the same tier.
Wall-E theory: In the last big rush to leave Earth, Wall-E was put together with modular components that exceeded his original specs because they were running out of the specific parts required to make that type of bot. In his case, they exceeded what the other similar bots had and gave him a greater level of consciousness and the ability to self-repair (What if one of his basic chips was from a repair bot, not just a garbage bot?)
Up is absolutely my favorite Pixar movie, it has heavy emotions, the side characters are amazing, Carl’s a great hero, Muntz is a great villain, the adventure is great, the spectacle is great, all amazing, and each character has a backstory, Carl: He’s fulfilling his promise for his wife, Russel: His dad isn’t seeing him anymore, Muntz: Had a moment of humility after bringing a fake skeleton, and each Ark is closed perfectly
I have a really close attachment to Onward. The two main characters fit my brother and I to a t. I'm kind of a nervous book worm, and my brother, hoo-boy, he's the awesome yet clumsy dude that's super awesome and tries to be epic, and we both play DnD and are into fantasy and all that. The only way we could be more like the characters is if our dad was dead. It's enough that I've only watched this twice, making sure to call up my brother (who lives on the other side of the country) to watch it at the same time.
This is why I love watching you guys! I just love how whenever I’m stressed out about the day or something going on in life, you guys make that stress go away. I love both of your personalities which make the videos very entertaining to watch. Keep up the great work guys! 👍
Coco is number one for me. Watched it after my mother died. I never sobbed like that before in my whole life. I sobbed all the bittersweet feelings out of me. I love the movie for that, just finally letting me purge all those feelings
I heard with incredibles 2 that they had a much more complex story planned out but their deadline was pushed forward and they had to heavily edit the final product. They had a lot planned for the new superheroes and they had bigger roles.
@@KaiLucasZachary Well scripts and planning didn't start until it was greenlit. Think they had an 18month turn around time as opposed to initial 2-2.5years. The only one who may have worked on it before then is Brad Bird, and even with a full script there are time constraints.
I'm happy to hear people speak highly of Onward. I know many people are indifferent to it, but I loved the world, story and characters and it's nice to see them share some thoughts on that :)
You got HONEY as a sponsor? Frozone: "Honey?" Honey: "Yeaah?" F: "Where's my coupons on online shopping?" H: "Whaat? That's not the line!" F: "I need it!" H: "Don't you mess up this session, Mr. Jackson. We've been recording this scene for two months!" F: "My online shopping bill's in danger!" H: "My career's in danger!" F: "What you talking about, woman? I'm talking to my Honey extention!" H: "I am your wife, I'm Honey. I'm the greatest good you're ever gonna get!"
Cars 3 brings us back to the all time classic feeling that the 2006 film gave us. This film has all you need. It's got a nice plot, an amazing set up. A great antagonist, and the perfect way to say goodbye to the trilogy. Cars 2 is the most underrated, action-packed spy/racing movie I've ever seen!! This movie is what got me interested in the franchise when I was a baby. Anyone who hasn't seen this movie, doesn't know what they are missing. This movie is what made me fall in love with Pixar Finding Dory gives us the magic that the 2003 classic gave us. After 13 years of silence, we finally got an amazing sequel. This movie was heartfelt, funny, and just plain awesome! Monsters University: The light of 2013. The story of how Mike and Sully met is unforgettable. It teaches us that when one door closes, another opens. The animation was great, the character development was perfect, and the characters were loveable. Not bad for Pixar's first prequel The Good Dinosaur is not Pixar's biggest miss. This movie was the one of the highlights of 2015. This movie is what got me interested in Dinos. Arlo is relatable, Spot is loveable, and the visuals are just stunning. One of Pixar's most underrated films, this movie needs a sequel to remind people how great this movie can be Pixar's 13th movie, Brave takes us to 10th century Scotland to tell the story of Pixar's most unforgettable stories. Merida's urge to be free is divine, and her relationship with her mother is how all relationships teens have with their parents. This Pixar movie take a break from the action, and gives us a more calm and sensible approach to what Pixar can do. Pixar doesn't need to stick to their normal tropes. This Pixar proved to us that changing things up isn't always bad Will someone please explain to me why Cars: an all time classic is always shunned from people's lives? I mean, come on what's not to like? The characters are enjoyable, the animation is on point, and this movie has a great theme: make the best of life's challenges. Hating Cars is like, hating life. The horrific year of 2020 kicks of with Onward. This film will have a special place in my heart. The only reason it flopped at the box office is not because I was bad, but because it was released at a bad time. This movie reminds of the relationship I have with my brother. The idea of magic was astonishing. Ian's character arc is amusing, but relatable. Barely's is relatable also. Chris Pratt and Tom Holland are an iconic duo Pixar's 25th, and most recent film brought magic into 2022. As Pixar's first Asian protagonist, Mei is funny, amusing, and just down right funny. Representation is significant in this movie, from the locations in Canada, to the Chinese culture, this film shouod put Domee Shi in a director's hall of fame. Turning Red reminds us to be out true self Where do I begin with this movie? Luca put Italy on the map. Jack Dylan Grazer, Jacob Tremblay, and Emma Berman brought their respective characters to life. This movie shows us how far friendships can go without experiencing any romantic stereotypes. From brotherhood, to acceptance, to friendship, Luca brought bliss to 2021. Silenzio Bruno!!! What do you want to be known for on Earth?? 2020 wraps up with Pixar's 23rd movie: Soul. Another Pixar tale about the afterlife, Soul is the perfect movie for Black History Month. Joe and 22 balance each other out, and Tina Fey and Jamie Foxx are amazing actors. The animation of the You Seminar is vibrant and goofy, and NYC is colorful and lively After 14 years, Brad Bird returns with the longest awaited Pixar sequel yet: Incredibles 2. With new animation, and new tech, Incredibles 2 gives us the aspect of the first movie with a few new add-ons to make this movie spectacular. Jack-Jack's newfound powers + Dash's hot-headedness + Violet's attitide + Bob's softer side + Helen's step into the spotlight= one fantastic movie 1998's A Bug's Life helped put Pixar on the map. A story of freedom, acceptance, self-love, and growth is what Pixar is known to make. If you ask me, this movie met the standards of Toy Story Toy Story 4 shouod get more love than hate. This movie is a perfect ending to Pixar's oldest franchise. This movie ended Woody's arc in the best way possible. The ending was emotional, Gabby is a relatable antagonist, and the animators did I fantastic job Brad Bird's 2nd flim and Pixar's 8th movie, Ratatouille is an example of great representation of a country's culture. Ratatouille has a hidden allegory for racial acceptance. With their first human-animal duo, Pixar made one of the world's best duet: Remy and Linguini As Pixar's first sequel, Toy Story 2 provides us with characters that warm our hearts Jesse's backstory is emotional, and Stinky Pete's intentions are understandable. The 1st 2 Toy Story movies brought life to the 90's Pete Docter has never disappointed, and thisnis proven in the 2nd flim he's directed: Up. Pixar's 10th movie is one of the most emotional films to date. I love Carl's motivation of the adventure. Carl wants to make his wife's dream come true. This move can teach us many life lessons. Finding Nemo is an ocean version of Brave. The movie is heartwarming. This movie is perfect. There are no complaints in this movie. Monsters Inc. is awesome. Mike's brains and Sulley's personality balance each other out. All of the impossible things that could have happened, not happening is what makes this movie so good. Coco is a love letter to Mexico. It shows us that family is everything. Miguel is an amazing child protagonist. As what Turning Red did for Canada,, and what Luca did for Italy, Coco is a perfect interpretation of Mexican cuisine, and culture. I love the color scheme of the Land of the Dead, and overall this movie is a treat. Inside Out really makes me appreciate my emotions. The dynamic of Joy and Sadness is fun to see. Pete Docter has made one of the best movies of 2015. This movie shows us how all of your emotions are there to look out for you, and this movie teaches the audience that without sadness, there can be no joy Toy Story is perfect movie. There is nothing to question in this movie. Woody and Buzz are brothers from different mothers. Woody are the toy version of Buzz and Woddy. Sid deserved the treatment he got. He needs to learn to not mistreat his toys As the first and only love story Pixar has made, Wall-E is great!!! Wall-E and EVE is an amazing couple. Pixar delivered the perfect film in 2008. Auto is the best AI villain of all time. Toy Story 3 is the the majesty of all movies in 2010. The animation is sensational. Lotso is a good antagonist. Woody's urge to stay with Andy is relatable, and the ending is heartbreaking. Overall this movie is one of the best I've ever seen in my life. The Incredibles knocks Marvel out of the park!! I love the idea of a superhero family. The Incredibles is perfect for all ages. There r no complaints of the movie These movies have no flaws. No Pixar movie is superior or inferior than another. Here's my ranking: 1. All 25 movies 2. N/A 3. N/A 4. N/A 5. N/A
Regarding Mordu in brave, I made a tumblr post several years about it. Here's the gist Mordu and Merida are foils of each other. They each have family troubles, they each go to the same whittler of wood, they each get their wish, and they each have a visual depiction of their family that gets damaged. Mordu's depiction is his brothers and him on a stone tablet, and Merida's is of her family on a tapestry. The tablet gets damaged and, it being made of stone, cannot be repaired, visualizing how it was too late for Mordu to save himself and his brothers from his decision. The tapestry gets damaged and, it being made of cloth, can be repaired, but the repair is visible, visualizing not only the repaired relationship between Merida and her mother, but also that each of them had changed significantly for the better as a result of the rift between them. Mordu was indeed the cautionary tale Merida needed to learn from so she/her mother didn't fall as far as he did.
Oke, here is the look on all the toy-story movies from a person who just recently watched all of them for the first time: - All are amazing - It is a perfect trilogy and still the fourth has a reason to exist - The fourth one separates itself from the first three enough that it can stand as it's own movie outside the trilogy (one way it does that is by removing most of the old characters) => I almost like the fourth Toy Story most of all of them (but at the end of the day it is simply a pretty different movie to the first 3)
I think Toy Story 4 is the most radical of them all- and that migjt be why some people will hate it. The idea that a toy gets to just be, in service to no human, without the need for human interaction, upends the whole world of the first 3, where there adventures always lead them to Andy, and eventually a new child.
I don't hate the fourth one, I kinda like it even. But I felt that all the characters did not act like themselves, compared to the trilogy and within the movie itself. It's a decent Pixar movie but not a good Toy Story movie imo.
J hit exactly how I feel about Soul (I would have put it A Bug's Life above it) I really really liked it, I got teary when Joe flashed back to each of his "spark" moments and I just felt when he got a third chance at life that everything was pointless, I wish he had said no when he was given the chance again. I have always loved how Pixar took fantastical situations and paired them with emotional realities, and while keeping the fantasy doesn't stray from the reality of emotion i.e Ian couldn't meet his father because he never did yet Soul literally brought someone back from the dead, I just felt it was a great movie cheapened by a please all ending.
Goodjob! I didn't even notice it was an hour long till It was near the end, it encapsulated me the entire time. Very fun, and I love how yalls opinions were changed based on yalls life experiences and it just makes this all the more special. :]
The reason I love Brave so much is that Mordu (Mor'du?) and his story is more of a cautionary tale of what Merida could cause her present day to repeat. Listening to this does make me think it may had different feel it Merida successfully killed Mordu as an "I won't let myself be like you" sort of thing, but I still love how it went as is. I can still watch this movie a hundred more times and have it be my all time fav
I think the problem with TS4, like you guys discussed, really is how it's attached to the other, phenomenal TS movies. Just the name gave it high expectations that it didn't entirely meet. I agree, though, that naming it Woody would have been the best
Cars 2: I’m a MAJOR James Bond fan and I watched Cars 2 before I watched any Bond films. I’m not saying the film is good but in some ways I am nostalgic for it, kind of being the precursors/childhood film that directed me towards being a James Bond fan.
Cars is definitely my favorite Pixar movie, I watched so much as a kid I even memorized the first race and with the toy cars I would re-enact the first beginning race, I still quote it almost daily and I just have so much nostalgia and the music in it is also so amazing
Onward is my favorite Pixar movie, but Cars is my favorite comfort movie. It was the main one I grew up with (Like Incredibles for the Carlins) and has really good scenery and music
For me personally Pixar has 3 movies so good, everything else pales in comparison: Inside Out, Coco and Soul. The most grown-up and amazing movies. I love Up!, I love WALL-E, I love all four Toy Stories. But those three are just next league for my taste.
So I was born in 1991 & had grown up with Toy Story, 1, 2, & seeing 3 in my final year of High School made me TEAR UP!!! in a GOOD WAY!!! 😂 I had felt such an emotional connection to the Toys & relief to see Andy go off to college & to leave his Toys with Bonnie! As a Series it is PERFECT! BUT I have to give a separate HOORAH to the people who brought us “Inside Out” showing a personified version of various emotions within a pre teens head!
One thing about Merida, it seems like two stories because it is. The original director had an idea of where the movie was supposed to go and what kind of movie it was gonna be, and she got fired for reasons I won’t get into here (if you’re interested there’s lots of videos and articles about it), and then the new director decided to take the movie in a different way. So it actually went the other way around, the badass Mordue bear character fighting scene came with the second director, the first director was a female and her vision was a mother-daughter film. So the magic-heavy second part of the movie is because of a different director. That’s why the movie feels so disjointed, because it’s basically two completely different films smashed into one.
Finding Dory always makes me cry. Pixar showing that bond between a child and parents is always beautiful. I think it really resonated with me because as someone who was going through a lot of physical health issues at the time it came out, the way Pixar emphasizes not letting a disability hold you back from your goals was just beautiful. I completely disagree with your stance on Incredibles 2. I was about 14 when it came out and i really loved how they showcased everyday family life with homework, and teenage year drama and showing some of the quirks that every family has. I found the character of screen slaver to be very profound especially in addressing how the media can have the power to control us. I reach for this movie often, love it!
Had to immediately go watch Cars because it deserves an Beyond Infinity! The way that bugs are bugs, and the detail in the landscape, plus each car’s personality. One of my go to comfort movies, definitely top 3.
I agree with you guys on allot of things but I got lowkey mad when you ranked 'the good dinosaur' and 'brave' so low 😅 But its great that different movies hit different for different people!
The Incredibles is probably my favorite Pixar movie and I was also a bit disappointed with the sequel. I personally think the first movie ended on a note that implied there could be a sequel, but I think it would have been really cool if we’d gotten some kind of time jump where the kids were grown up and trying to make super heros legal again - maybe centering around Dash? Great video as always!
As a someone who was 11/12 years old in 2002 and asian-american (although meilin is canadian), I related to Turning Red on a whole different level. It felt like that movie was made for me. Like honestly I got so excited after I watched Turning Red that I texted my brother to see if he had seen it yet. I relate to Turning Red so much is because it was made by a woman who's the same age as me and who's also asian. At the end of the day, Ben probably didn't relate to Turning Red like he thought he should've because it's simply not made for him. Asians are barely starting to play prominent roles in Western media so we haven't had a lot of representation until Turning Red and other movies like Shang Chi, Parasite and Crazy Rich Asians. It's not a bad thing that Ben can't relate to Turning Red! Different kinds of movies are meant to reach and connect so many different kinds of people, and it's great that we're getting that representation now
I really enjoy these videos where you talk about the movies and share your thoughts! Would you maybe consider ranking them on other categories than like “favourite over all”? Maybe you could do “most beautiful (like animation)” or “best story” or like ranking opening scenes or characters? I think it would be cool to hear your thoughts on those, and maybe you would look at some of the movies differently? Hugs from a fan in Norway
I think it's also very interesting how your guy's tier lists differed from mine as far as what stage of life you were in when the movie came out, like what ben was saying about cars. I think that for me, finding nemo, inside out, and ratatouille hit me at the right place and the right time, but honestly, as someone who is a bit younger (20), finding dory and incredible 2 hit me at just the right time in my life too, so I ranked them quite a bit higher than yall did. Verrryyyy interesting
One thing I will never understand is why Brave is so hated. I think it's extremely unrated and I love the animation and the music. The story is a little weak, I'll say that, but otherwise I love it! Not to mention, Merida is my favourite princess.
J is just like my parents. When I was little all I wanted to watch was Cars and when they told me that I laughed over and over again. It's my favorite Pixar movie to date.
I'm really surprised you guys haven't talked about monsters at work (unless you have and I can't find it). I know it's technically disney but I would like if it was also ranked and just to see your general thoughts on it.
Toy Story 4 should not be considered a Toy Story movie along with the others, if anything it should be completely stand alone. The whole meaning behind Toy Story is that the toys always have eachothers backs and they are truly eachothers family even though Andy is their focus. “Besides, When it all ends, Ill have old Buzz Lightyear to keep me company, to Infinity and Beyond” No, he doesnt, cause Toy story 4 throws all of it in the trash and burns it.
So, basically Finding Nemo is the Facebook of Pixar movies for you? I love it in particular because of the big Aussie supporting cast and the Sydney Harbour scenes.
I always saw in meridah that mordu and meridah wanted the same spell but mordu used it basically for 1 evil deed (i hope) and he never fixed the rift that the spell tries to help you heal while meridah did they started out at the same path maybe but took vastly different roads
My "head cannon" for Cars 2, from a lore standpoint (not real life), is that it's one of Mater's Tall Tales, as it's happening, instead of Mater retelling it to one of his friends. Think about it. The general formula for Mater's Tall Tales' is: Mater tells something to a friend (typically McQueen), they don't believe him, Mater tells the story (often with a "and you were there, too!" line, once Mater finishes, the friend is like, "I still don't believe it. It sounds too outrageous to be true", something happens that proves that Mater was telling the truth. Now, with Cars 2, the basic formula is: Mater stumbles into becoming a secret agent without realizing it, meets a girl who says "Meet me at the rendezvous", Mater then tells a friend that he now has a girlfriend, the friend doesn't believe him, we experience the tall tale as it's happening with Mater, the friend still doesn't believe Mater once the tale is done, the lady-friend confirms that she is indeed his girlfriend, and his friend says "Okay, now I believe you". Sure, there are a couple key differences between Mater's Tall Tales and Cars 2, but it still follows the same rough outline. What do you guys think?
I wanna be honest Luca feels like a Ghibli movie script was handed to Pixar and they did their best Like...like I'm ok with it...but it just...feels like it could have been so much more...
It was the ending. Basically, the story ran out of time and needed to get happy real fast. The parents had 0 reasons to be happy that Luca competed in a triathlon, yet it was their reason for letting him stay on land. The townspeople hadn't interacted with them, but they were all accepting at the end - I guess because of the pasta race too. And then the friends split up because the kid with no parental guidance just didn't feel like going to school, and Luca was cool with abandoning him. The grandmother kept hinting that she liked going on land, but she never showed up. It would have made so much more sense to have her show her poker buddies that she was a sea monster than those 2 random women. It wasn't thought out imo
Inside came out when i was the same age as Riley, and months after watching the movie and starting middle school, i was having so many emotional problems and inside out was so instrumental is helping me word my feelings. Especially with the idea of joy leaving HQ
They really should've split Cars 2's plots. It was originally going to be the World Grand Prix by itself, but then they felt it wasn't enough substance...
I thought they added the spy plot line because Paul Newman passed before the script was finished, or something, and so they still needed something interesting beside the WGP.
I loved hearing your opinions, it was interesting and neat to get different perspectives - and my there were quite some differences from my own haha. Really enjoyed the video!
Incredibles is my favorite Pixar movie I'm not sure if my feeling of pure love and adortion for the movie is nulasgic We watched this all the time at least once a month, then me and my brothers would run around each having to major characters to be and fighting Syndrome (our dad)
I feel the Finding Nemo stuff. At the time I was doing my Work Experience portion of education in the UK at a shop that sold fish, tropical, cold, saltwater, you name it we had it. The amount of people wanting a 'nemo fish' or a 'dory' fish. None of them really paid attention when I had to explain, especially for the 'dory fish', a Blue Tang, they had very specific requirements to be happy and not die relatively soon. But unfortunately, you had to take them at their word even if deep down you knew you were sending a fish to a death. Safe to say, I never completed my work experience there...
Would you want them to release the older Pixar movies with newer graphics to match the newer Pixar styles like they do with some older video games but keep it exactly the same scene by scene or keep it original film style til the end of time?
Did you guys ever watch the movie "rise of the guardians" its a DreamWorks animation movie and its my absolute favourite if i am feeling under the weather i watch that
Honestly I enjoy cars as a movie so much more since being able to visit cars land a couple years ago! The vibes are so good! Lol weird how that happens!
You say that, but I was a young girl in 2002, who loved boybands for a little bit, and I still loved Onward more than Turning Red. Maybe it's because of my fantasy background and I got all the jokes in Onward. But truthfully, I think Turning Red has so many humiliating parts, it's kind hard to watch for me. I felt so bad for Mei.
My favorite pixar movie is Coco. However, a close second has to be cars. It came out at the perfect time for me (I'm 23 so it came out when I was like 7 or 8) and it holds a special place in my heart. Plus the soundtrack is awesome.
The only one I really had different feelings about was Monsters University. I don't know why but I've watched this one a ton and I just really like it. I can completely understand why other people wouldn't have many feelings about it but I have to say it is one of my favorites. I also love Ratatouille.

“I just met you and I love you” is my cat, Mama Smokey, to a T! I don’t call her “aggressively affectionate” for nothing… if she wants cuddles, she GETS cuddles!
Brave was released on my 18th birthday the year my mom died. I can't remember if she even got to see it. We had a tumultuous relationship. To this day, I cry when I watch it. Objectively, I know it's not the best Pixar movie, but I have a soft spot for it. It had so much potential and so much heart, it was just suffered from the conflicts during production and too many plots being combined.
For some reason, Coco just hits different for me. I’ll never forget watching that movie for the first time.
Coco’s an easy top tier for me. Easily in my top 3 Pixar movies.
I watched it in theatres and I was crying at the part where Miguel sings with Coco.
Same I literally named my dog Dante after this movie
It's the only one where I will watch th e dub because watching it in Spanish is just that good
@@kallocarina8879 considering the movie takes place in Mexico, and celebrates a Mexican holiday, watching in Spanish makes the most sense
Fun fact: my instructor in film school worked at Disney during the time Cars 2 came out. It was made intentionally terrible. Basically Pixar was only under contract with Disney for a certain number of movies. Pixar did animation for a segment in Fantasia and expected that to count as one of the movies, but Disney disagreed and refused to let them go. As a result, Pixar intentionally made Cars 2 terrible as a huge middle finger to Disney. Idk if I remembered all the details right but I think you boys should look into it for a future vid!
It isn't terrible though. Idk anyone that actually *hates* the movie. It's just not up to the usual standards they have. I'll agree with the brothers here, everything they've made is a 6/10 or better. Cars 2 is that 6/10.
@@tylarjackson7928 I have heard quite a few reviewers and other people say that if nothing else it's their least favorite pixar movie usually going so far as to meme the cars 2 tier or something similar. I agree that it's still not terrible on the same level as the new Pinocchio movie and stuff like that, but it's still by many peoples standards pretty bad.
@@j.asmrgaming1228 Which Pinocchio movie are you referring to? I googled it, and the newest I saw that's out was 2019, and that has an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes and won several prestigious awards, so I assume you're not talking about that one.
@@tylarjackson7928 Pinocchio a true story came out this year. It's the kind of movie that jumps so far into bad it goes good again.
Cars 2 was not terrible. SHUT UP!!!
To me, Finding Nemo is untouched. The story is amazing in its simplicity, but every problem that arises is organic, and is solved due to ingenuity and character-advancing breakthroughs- Marlin learning to let go, Dory building connections, Nemo growing and trusting his own abilities. This is the only Pixar movie to me where the "tearjerker" moment feels truly earned and not an annoying, heavy-handed nudge to make me cry. First, the openner with Coral protecting her babies. And finally when Nemo pretends to be dead and Marlin finds him like that. They are given weight, but not in a way that's so obvious and emotionally manipulative.
I also love, love, love the environments. Gorgeous! Of course the coral reefs look amazing. But even the way they animated vast open waters. And the score is top notch. Perfectly accompanies the great adventure. But with numbers that evoke such peacefulness. Nemo Egg gives me chills and makes me teary every single time. I think Toy Story gives it a run, but this is some of the best voice casting for Pixar, too.
I love this movie. I think it's actually perfect.
This is why Finding Nemo is my all time favorite Pixar film ❤️
Absolutely though it’s in my third spot, ratatouille and coco inches it out for me, ratatouille was that kid movie that I watched on repeat I watched it three times in one day once XD
You make a great case for finding nemo, the character journeys are well developed - going up in my rankings !
I’m glad you agree with how Pixar will try to emotionally manipulate the viewers. That’s why I prefer movies like A Bug’s Life, Luca, Cars, ect. It’s also one of the reasons why I don’t really like Toy Story 3/4, Inside Out, ect.
I do really like Finding Nemo. It’s not my favorite, but I love the atmosphere and the story. It’s done really well. Also, Willam Defoe is always a win.
Finding Nemo to this day is still my all-time favorite Pixar film, and 1 of my favorite animated films or just films in general of all time. It's actually so interesting and mind-blowing to me that as a kid when watching this, I would relate a lot more towards Nemo, but still understood Marlin's protective dad phase. Now as 23 years old, (even though I don't have kids yet) I find myself relating more with Marlin, but still understanding Nemo's perspective. This is 1 of the only films I've seen that has made me feel differently about characters the more I grow up and become an adult. It's super fascinating. Of course, the opening scene with Coral and most of her children being taken away from Marlin and him protecting egg Nemo is still to this day 1 of the most gut-wrenching and emotional scenes I've ever seen in media and makes me tear up just thinking about it. This film has always been apart of my life and will always be a major part of my life until the day I die. It's a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Truly perfect...
J's story about The Good Dinosaur showed how it is often personal connections that can increase your overall perception of a film. I will say that my feelings about Finding Nemo and Finding Dory are that they belong in the top tiers because of my personal connections to them. As a special education teacher, and the sister of someone with both physical and cognitive disabilities, I found that representation to be very meaningful. I will also always have a special place in my heart for FN because right after my high school graduation, my family went on a Disney cruise and the film premiered that week, so we got to see the film while on the ship and we were given buttons, "I saw it first at sea."
I agree! It's a similar reason why Ratatouille is so high on my list besides nostalgia. I saw it with my dad in theaters when i was a kid and one time while i was watching it several years ago, i got a phone call from him saying he was having a heart attack. (he's fine and alive now, thank goodness!) There may have been another special occasion in between, i can't remember, but it's definitely a movie i always reach for because of the good looking food, relatable characters, and beautiful setting! It always makes me feel cozy inside
I watched toy story 3 on DCL when it first came out so I definitely understand
I have similar feelings about Toy Story 4. It's obviously not the best in the series but I saw it right before I moved away from home for the first time so the story of Woody leaving on to a new chapter in his life connected really strongly with me.
Coco is my absolute favorite Pixar film. I was sobbing at the end there and it stayed with me for much longer than any other Pixar film has. Love that movie.
As a mexican, I found the representation of Día de Muertos to be executed extremely well! Love that movie
I remember counting the actual unique words of dialogue that Wall-E said in the movie and it was ~24.
Yeah that's something so impressive (main character saying only 24 unique words in the movie and still feeling emotions from him) that I have to make it a top 3 Pixar movie on that alone.
Fun fact about Brave!
It was actually the other way around (of what you guys were imagining).
The movie started as a mother-daughter story, based on the life of the director (a woman). But she left mid-way (fired I think?) and the guy that they put in as director didn't think the story was interesting enough so he made it more of an action movie.
Truly a tragedy, in my opinion.
It has such a severe identity crisis. I remember at the time being SO disappointed at the sudden turn into the bear storyline out of almost nowhere. At the same time, if that had been foreshadowed more clearly and that was what the actual film had been clearer that it was about then it would have probably been much clearer and purposeful. I agree the (forced removal/coerced stepping down kind of situation I think) of the original director was what seems to have totally waylaid the movie.
My favorite is Ratatouille, it is so underrated,
Wall-E is such an interesting comparison to Ratatouille to me. I swear Wall-E is the epitome of a film that ACTS like it has wisdom, but at the end of the day is just baby's first existentialism with a cute robot. There is more actual wisdom JUST in Anton Ego's speech at the end of Ratatouille than in the whole of Wall-E. Number 2 in the whole canon behind only the GOAT that is Inside Out.
Really cause at least it’s get credited for being a Pixar film unlike the real most underrated Pixar movie ever CARS 2. It’s great on soo many levels. People were just to ignorant and thought they knew what this franchise of the Cars Franchise is when the first film show 1 bit of what this franchise is and not so much what these films should be about. The Cars franchise is about John Lasseter showcasing the world the things that made his childhood growing up. 1st film, cars themselves, road trips and his love for the automotive world. 2nd film, spy movies, spy cars and travelling around the world.
The Cars Trilogy is the best of all time in my opinion, but I do get some of the hate Cars 3 got because it is ridiculous how little screen time Mater got do to the amount of hate Cars 2 got which angers me to this day.
When Inside Out came out I was like 15 or 16 and I refused to watch it because "its a kids movie" then in grade 12 my English teacher made us watch it for an assignment, and I was quite annoyed - but I was pleasantly surprised. It's such an informative movie - no matter who you are. It wasn't just a kids movie that adults can appreciate - its just a movie that both adults and kids can enjoy,
I think my favorite Pixar movie is Wall-E. It's incredible how you can put so much emotion into such an understated package. It says more with it's silences than a thousand words could.
I've always loved Brave though the plot line isn't always on point. The three brother bears are just so cute.
See I think Brave totally works because in the banquet hall when Merida gives her speech she becomes closer to her mother. She takes that step and starts seeing things her way and also starts appreciating hrf mother's diplomatic skill, whereas with the bear you have Merida's mom become more like Merida. The fighter, the courageous warrior. The feral bear represented what happens when you let resentment born from miscommunication blossom into hatred. Ultimately it was understanding and the willingness of Merida's mom to fight when negotiating no longer works, to go with the flow and for once not think to defeat mordeau and break the curse. It wasn't just Merida mending the tapestry snd trying to heal the breach (although I think it would have been enough to break the mom's curse) it was also the mom walking a bit in her daughter's shoes. Merida learned to appreciate her mom which would have been enough to heal the wounds and break the curse. But Merida's mom learning to appreciate Merida gave them a chance at true overflowing happiness and joy in eachothers company. They became friends beyond just mother and daughter and I really love that. That nuance there it's so hard to describe but as someone who has always failed to actually reach that with my mom, I definitely see and feel it. This movie is top tier for me.
I think this comment is very inspiring. After watching this video, I wanted to start watching the Pixar Movies I’ve never seen. I watched the movie, but thought it was only ok at best, but hearing you talk about this now, I want to watch it again to try and understand more.
Can we add Ben saying “ultimately” and “this idea of” to the bingo cards cuz he says those two things A LOT
And "as it pertains to"
Ratatouille is in my opinion, the best Pixar movie ever.
It’s second for me I really loved coco
I second Random Normie
My fav is luca
Incredibles>>
I mean, Wall-E was pretty great though
Loving this J vs Ben ranking format! Y'all should do it for more stuff, Marvel, Star Wars, etc!
The Good Dinosaur is my favorite Pixar movie (I honestly can't even explain why; it just breaks my heart wide open and makes me feel so full) to the point where just thinking about it makes me weep like a baby. While I can see that you guys don't agree, your opinions are totally valid! My favorite thing about these movies is how different people perceive them differently. Every movie has its deep and meaningful moments that connect to so many people in so many different ways. What a special thing we all get to experience!

J's face after smashing his shin under the desk is beautiful.
That will be my new screen saver 😆 🤣 😂 😹
I backed up the video to see it! Thank u for pointing it out 😂
@@jessicacain114
Thats what im here for👍
Agshahahshwhahahahaha
God, yes. It was worth going back.
Thanks, mate.
One love ❤️
Definitely worth going back to have another look. That face is Hilarious!!!!
Not to mention (for Toy Story 2) figuring out later that the conflict/tragedy of the Prospector character can also be viewed as somewhat of a metaphor for what happened to Hollywood films during the transition from the 50s and early 60s into the late 60s and early 70s. The Cowboy Western genre was HUGE and then fell out of vogue.
Since having my son, and watching much cars trilogy, my epiphany for Cars 2 is, that’s how a kid plays with cars. They drive up the walls and they fly and they crash and they swim and anything is possible. That being said, i still don’t really like it haha. But I see why kids might. I toggle between cars and cars 3 much more often though.
Over the years I’ve come to realize… I like Brave more than (what seems like) most people. I would put it at A+(113)…. I couldn’t tell you why but it’s just a movie I really enjoy. I think I tend to enjoy really good visual looking movies.
Yes
The first quarter-to-half is definitely much better than most Pixar movies
same
I love Brave so I agree with you
I love the music/soundtrack in Brave so much. Plus the visuals/scenery is very realistic.
The 1 thing I must disagree with is Monsters University. That would be top tier for me; I think it’s such a great film!
I agree, i was in shock when i heard their opinion
Agreed MU is underrated
Monsters University is SO underrated! I'm so glad there are people who agree with that!
I fully agree. I also think the message of life working out not in the ways you planned it, but how it was supposed to be, is so beautiful and well done. Mike and Sully failing out of college and still having a good life reminds my anxiety ridden brain that life isn't made up of just one path or one mistake.
Its one of my top animated films!! Im not sure if it was because i was 11 and built my childhood but still
Coco is stunning. I’ve worked with immigrants escaping war-torn countries, and the medical field. When you see families across the bridge and start wondering how you all got there at those ages…. Chills and redemptive all at once. Very comforting if you are frequently witnessing death or hear the tales second hand. I was amazed how much I loved it. And the music is just FUN!
I feel like I'm in the minority here, but I don't find the opening to Up as sad as people say, especially considering you found it sadder than Finding Nemo. Ellie and Carl got to live a happy life. She was presumably in her 80s or so when she died. Compared to Coral, who died much younger (in clownfish years), plus how all but one of Marlin's children were also killed.
I think it's because Coral (and the kids) dying happened so fast whereas you can see Ellie and Carl growing up and going through their life so it hits harder when she dies. But I do see where you're coming from. I have them both pretty high on my list but they're in the same tier.
In clownfish years😭😂
I agree it didn't even really feel sad to me at all
It takes imagination to realize the fullness of the story with coral and marlin and that’s why I love the story and also find it more sad
I mean it was sad. But on a surface level. Kind of the same with finding nemo. Real sad is watching boo open the door and sully is gone
Wall-E theory: In the last big rush to leave Earth, Wall-E was put together with modular components that exceeded his original specs because they were running out of the specific parts required to make that type of bot. In his case, they exceeded what the other similar bots had and gave him a greater level of consciousness and the ability to self-repair (What if one of his basic chips was from a repair bot, not just a garbage bot?)
Up is absolutely my favorite Pixar movie, it has heavy emotions, the side characters are amazing, Carl’s a great hero, Muntz is a great villain, the adventure is great, the spectacle is great, all amazing, and each character has a backstory, Carl: He’s fulfilling his promise for his wife, Russel: His dad isn’t seeing him anymore, Muntz: Had a moment of humility after bringing a fake skeleton, and each Ark is closed perfectly
The fact that Mike was hidden behind the thing in the thumbnail was so perfect. Good job.
I have a really close attachment to Onward. The two main characters fit my brother and I to a t. I'm kind of a nervous book worm, and my brother, hoo-boy, he's the awesome yet clumsy dude that's super awesome and tries to be epic, and we both play DnD and are into fantasy and all that. The only way we could be more like the characters is if our dad was dead. It's enough that I've only watched this twice, making sure to call up my brother (who lives on the other side of the country) to watch it at the same time.
This is why I love watching you guys! I just love how whenever I’m stressed out about the day or something going on in life, you guys make that stress go away. I love both of your personalities which make the videos very entertaining to watch. Keep up the great work guys! 👍
Same!!!
couldn’t agree more :)
Coco is number one for me. Watched it after my mother died. I never sobbed like that before in my whole life. I sobbed all the bittersweet feelings out of me. I love the movie for that, just finally letting me purge all those feelings
I haven't been able watch several of your latest videos, because of not having seen Dumbledore yet, it's nice to be able to watch a new video.
I named my daughter Riley. Not exactly because of Inside Out but I'd be lying if I said it had nothing to do with it.
I heard with incredibles 2 that they had a much more complex story planned out but their deadline was pushed forward and they had to heavily edit the final product. They had a lot planned for the new superheroes and they had bigger roles.
They had to push forward a deadline that was already like 10 years old?
@@KaiLucasZachary Well scripts and planning didn't start until it was greenlit. Think they had an 18month turn around time as opposed to initial 2-2.5years.
The only one who may have worked on it before then is Brad Bird, and even with a full script there are time constraints.
I'm happy to hear people speak highly of Onward. I know many people are indifferent to it, but I loved the world, story and characters and it's nice to see them share some thoughts on that :)

Cars 3 brings us back to the all time classic feeling that the 2006 film gave us. This film has all you need. It's got a nice plot, an amazing set up. A great antagonist, and the perfect way to say goodbye to the trilogy.
Cars 2 is the most underrated, action-packed spy/racing movie I've ever seen!! This movie is what got me interested in the franchise when I was a baby. Anyone who hasn't seen this movie, doesn't know what they are missing. This movie is what made me fall in love with Pixar
Finding Dory gives us the magic that the 2003 classic gave us. After 13 years of silence, we finally got an amazing sequel. This movie was heartfelt, funny, and just plain awesome!
Monsters University: The light of 2013. The story of how Mike and Sully met is unforgettable. It teaches us that when one door closes, another opens. The animation was great, the character development was perfect, and the characters were loveable. Not bad for Pixar's first prequel
The Good Dinosaur is not Pixar's biggest miss. This movie was the one of the highlights of 2015. This movie is what got me interested in Dinos. Arlo is relatable, Spot is loveable, and the visuals are just stunning. One of Pixar's most underrated films, this movie needs a sequel to remind people how great this movie can be
Pixar's 13th movie, Brave takes us to 10th century Scotland to tell the story of Pixar's most unforgettable stories. Merida's urge to be free is divine, and her relationship with her mother is how all relationships teens have with their parents. This Pixar movie take a break from the action, and gives us a more calm and sensible approach to what Pixar can do. Pixar doesn't need to stick to their normal tropes. This Pixar proved to us that changing things up isn't always bad
Will someone please explain to me why Cars: an all time classic is always shunned from people's lives? I mean, come on what's not to like? The characters are enjoyable, the animation is on point, and this movie has a great theme: make the best of life's challenges. Hating Cars is like, hating life.
The horrific year of 2020 kicks of with Onward. This film will have a special place in my heart. The only reason it flopped at the box office is not because I was bad, but because it was released at a bad time. This movie reminds of the relationship I have with my brother. The idea of magic was astonishing. Ian's character arc is amusing, but relatable. Barely's is relatable also. Chris Pratt and Tom Holland are an iconic duo
Pixar's 25th, and most recent film brought magic into 2022. As Pixar's first Asian protagonist, Mei is funny, amusing, and just down right funny. Representation is significant in this movie, from the locations in Canada, to the Chinese culture, this film shouod put Domee Shi in a director's hall of fame. Turning Red reminds us to be out true self
Where do I begin with this movie? Luca put Italy on the map. Jack Dylan Grazer, Jacob Tremblay, and Emma Berman brought their respective characters to life. This movie shows us how far friendships can go without experiencing any romantic stereotypes. From brotherhood, to acceptance, to friendship, Luca brought bliss to 2021. Silenzio Bruno!!!
What do you want to be known for on Earth?? 2020 wraps up with Pixar's 23rd movie: Soul. Another Pixar tale about the afterlife, Soul is the perfect movie for Black History Month. Joe and 22 balance each other out, and Tina Fey and Jamie Foxx are amazing actors. The animation of the You Seminar is vibrant and goofy, and NYC is colorful and lively
After 14 years, Brad Bird returns with the longest awaited Pixar sequel yet: Incredibles 2. With new animation, and new tech, Incredibles 2 gives us the aspect of the first movie with a few new add-ons to make this movie spectacular. Jack-Jack's newfound powers + Dash's hot-headedness + Violet's attitide + Bob's softer side + Helen's step into the spotlight= one fantastic movie
1998's A Bug's Life helped put Pixar on the map. A story of freedom, acceptance, self-love, and growth is what Pixar is known to make. If you ask me, this movie met the standards of Toy Story
Toy Story 4 shouod get more love than hate. This movie is a perfect ending to Pixar's oldest franchise. This movie ended Woody's arc in the best way possible. The ending was emotional, Gabby is a relatable antagonist, and the animators did I fantastic job
Brad Bird's 2nd flim and Pixar's 8th movie, Ratatouille is an example of great representation of a country's culture. Ratatouille has a hidden allegory for racial acceptance. With their first human-animal duo, Pixar made one of the world's best duet: Remy and Linguini
As Pixar's first sequel, Toy Story 2 provides us with characters that warm our hearts Jesse's backstory is emotional, and Stinky Pete's intentions are understandable. The 1st 2 Toy Story movies brought life to the 90's
Pete Docter has never disappointed, and thisnis proven in the 2nd flim he's directed: Up. Pixar's 10th movie is one of the most emotional films to date. I love Carl's motivation of the adventure. Carl wants to make his wife's dream come true. This move can teach us many life lessons.
Finding Nemo is an ocean version of Brave. The movie is heartwarming. This movie is perfect. There are no complaints in this movie.
Monsters Inc. is awesome. Mike's brains and Sulley's personality balance each other out. All of the impossible things that could have happened, not happening is what makes this movie so good.
Coco is a love letter to Mexico. It shows us that family is everything. Miguel is an amazing child protagonist. As what Turning Red did for Canada,, and what Luca did for Italy, Coco is a perfect interpretation of Mexican cuisine, and culture. I love the color scheme of the Land of the Dead, and overall this movie is a treat.
Inside Out really makes me appreciate my emotions. The dynamic of Joy and Sadness is fun to see. Pete Docter has made one of the best movies of 2015. This movie shows us how all of your emotions are there to look out for you, and this movie teaches the audience that without sadness, there can be no joy
Toy Story is perfect movie. There is nothing to question in this movie. Woody and Buzz are brothers from different mothers. Woody are the toy version of Buzz and Woddy. Sid deserved the treatment he got. He needs to learn to not mistreat his toys
As the first and only love story Pixar has made, Wall-E is great!!! Wall-E and EVE is an amazing couple. Pixar delivered the perfect film in 2008. Auto is the best AI villain of all time.
Toy Story 3 is the the majesty of all movies in 2010. The animation is sensational. Lotso is a good antagonist. Woody's urge to stay with Andy is relatable, and the ending is heartbreaking. Overall this movie is one of the best I've ever seen in my life.
The Incredibles knocks Marvel out of the park!! I love the idea of a superhero family. The Incredibles is perfect for all ages. There r no complaints of the movie
These movies have no flaws. No Pixar movie is superior or inferior than another.
Here's my ranking:
1. All 25 movies
2. N/A
3. N/A
4. N/A
5. N/A
thanks
Regarding Mordu in brave, I made a tumblr post several years about it. Here's the gist
Mordu and Merida are foils of each other. They each have family troubles, they each go to the same whittler of wood, they each get their wish, and they each have a visual depiction of their family that gets damaged. Mordu's depiction is his brothers and him on a stone tablet, and Merida's is of her family on a tapestry. The tablet gets damaged and, it being made of stone, cannot be repaired, visualizing how it was too late for Mordu to save himself and his brothers from his decision. The tapestry gets damaged and, it being made of cloth, can be repaired, but the repair is visible, visualizing not only the repaired relationship between Merida and her mother, but also that each of them had changed significantly for the better as a result of the rift between them. Mordu was indeed the cautionary tale Merida needed to learn from so she/her mother didn't fall as far as he did.
Luca definitely feels like an early Pixar film from the first 10 years
Oke, here is the look on all the toy-story movies from a person who just recently watched all of them for the first time:
- All are amazing
- It is a perfect trilogy and still the fourth has a reason to exist
- The fourth one separates itself from the first three enough that it can stand as it's own movie outside the trilogy (one way it does that is by removing most of the old characters)
=> I almost like the fourth Toy Story most of all of them (but at the end of the day it is simply a pretty different movie to the first 3)
I think Toy Story 4 is the most radical of them all- and that migjt be why some people will hate it. The idea that a toy gets to just be, in service to no human, without the need for human interaction, upends the whole world of the first 3, where there adventures always lead them to Andy, and eventually a new child.
I don't hate the fourth one, I kinda like it even. But I felt that all the characters did not act like themselves, compared to the trilogy and within the movie itself. It's a decent Pixar movie but not a good Toy Story movie imo.
Finding Nemo is the movie I’ve seen the most and also tied with Emperor’s New Groove for just my favourite movie ever.
J hit exactly how I feel about Soul (I would have put it A Bug's Life above it) I really really liked it, I got teary when Joe flashed back to each of his "spark" moments and I just felt when he got a third chance at life that everything was pointless, I wish he had said no when he was given the chance again. I have always loved how Pixar took fantastical situations and paired them with emotional realities, and while keeping the fantasy doesn't stray from the reality of emotion i.e Ian couldn't meet his father because he never did yet Soul literally brought someone back from the dead, I just felt it was a great movie cheapened by a please all ending.
I watched Coco on the airplane coming home from my grandma's funeral so I was quite a mess but it solidified it as one of the best, personally
Goodjob! I didn't even notice it was an hour long till It was near the end, it encapsulated me the entire time. Very fun, and I love how yalls opinions were changed based on yalls life experiences and it just makes this all the more special. :]
I find it amazing that here the middle is still incredible while in the HP movie ranking the middle was "acceptable" 😅
Funny that this vane out today because Earlier today I was watching the one you guys did in 2016 wondering when you were going to do a updated one
The reason I love Brave so much is that Mordu (Mor'du?) and his story is more of a cautionary tale of what Merida could cause her present day to repeat. Listening to this does make me think it may had different feel it Merida successfully killed Mordu as an "I won't let myself be like you" sort of thing, but I still love how it went as is. I can still watch this movie a hundred more times and have it be my all time fav
PLEASE do a video ranking all of the Disney Animated Films 🤞🏼🙏🏼
J and Ben, you should absolutely try Dungeons & Dragons. It's had much more influence on many things in pop culture than one may initially realize.
I think the problem with TS4, like you guys discussed, really is how it's attached to the other, phenomenal TS movies. Just the name gave it high expectations that it didn't entirely meet. I agree, though, that naming it Woody would have been the best
Cars 2: I’m a MAJOR James Bond fan and I watched Cars 2 before I watched any Bond films. I’m not saying the film is good but in some ways I am nostalgic for it, kind of being the precursors/childhood film that directed me towards being a James Bond fan.
I love it so much
Cars is definitely my favorite Pixar movie, I watched so much as a kid I even memorized the first race and with the toy cars I would re-enact the first beginning race, I still quote it almost daily and I just have so much nostalgia and the music in it is also so amazing
Yes Cars is good!
Onward is my favorite Pixar movie, but Cars is my favorite comfort movie. It was the main one I grew up with (Like Incredibles for the Carlins) and has really good scenery and music
The playstation 2 game was top-tier too!
@@countrye3013 man you just unlocked a memory for me I forgot that I played that game. It was so good
@@darthtigris2783 it was and the soundtrack was 👌
For me personally Pixar has 3 movies so good, everything else pales in comparison: Inside Out, Coco and Soul. The most grown-up and amazing movies.
I love Up!, I love WALL-E, I love all four Toy Stories. But those three are just next league for my taste.
Love the respect for Inside Out. One of my favorites.
The animation for The Good Dinosaur is tremendous. I actually like it quite a lot.
So I was born in 1991 & had grown up with Toy Story, 1, 2, & seeing 3 in my final year of High School made me TEAR UP!!! in a GOOD WAY!!! 😂 I had felt such an emotional connection to the Toys & relief to see Andy go off to college & to leave his Toys with Bonnie! As a Series it is PERFECT! BUT I have to give a separate HOORAH to the people who brought us “Inside Out” showing a personified version of various emotions within a pre teens head!
Just needed an excuse to say INSIDE OUT IS AMAZING!!!
One thing about Merida, it seems like two stories because it is. The original director had an idea of where the movie was supposed to go and what kind of movie it was gonna be, and she got fired for reasons I won’t get into here (if you’re interested there’s lots of videos and articles about it), and then the new director decided to take the movie in a different way. So it actually went the other way around, the badass Mordue bear character fighting scene came with the second director, the first director was a female and her vision was a mother-daughter film. So the magic-heavy second part of the movie is because of a different director. That’s why the movie feels so disjointed, because it’s basically two completely different films smashed into one.
I’m surprised you know this much about the movie and yet still got the name of the movie wrong lol
Unpopular opinion, but I think Onward is one of the best Pixar movies ever made!
that not an unpopular opinion but the fact that that I like cars 2 is
Finding Dory always makes me cry. Pixar showing that bond between a child and parents is always beautiful. I think it really resonated with me because as someone who was going through a lot of physical health issues at the time it came out, the way Pixar emphasizes not letting a disability hold you back from your goals was just beautiful.
I completely disagree with your stance on Incredibles 2. I was about 14 when it came out and i really loved how they showcased everyday family life with homework, and teenage year drama and showing some of the quirks that every family has. I found the character of screen slaver to be very profound especially in addressing how the media can have the power to control us. I reach for this movie often, love it!
you guys should rank the live action Disney remakes see how high they hold up to the originals
Had to immediately go watch Cars because it deserves an Beyond Infinity! The way that bugs are bugs, and the detail in the landscape, plus each car’s personality. One of my go to comfort movies, definitely top 3.
When are y'all gonna videos talking which monsters match each kids from Turning Red?
Wouldn't that be different before and after the movie because of ma ma
J’s facial expressions mixed with Ben’s “deciding noises” made 52:52-53:30 unintentionally hilarious😂
I theorize that Up started as a short but someone got big plot idea
I never knew that about Life is a Highway in Cars vs Cars 3, that’s absolutely incredible cinematography.
I agree with you guys on allot of things but I got lowkey mad when you ranked 'the good dinosaur' and 'brave' so low 😅
But its great that different movies hit different for different people!
The Incredibles is probably my favorite Pixar movie and I was also a bit disappointed with the sequel. I personally think the first movie ended on a note that implied there could be a sequel, but I think it would have been really cool if we’d gotten some kind of time jump where the kids were grown up and trying to make super heros legal again - maybe centering around Dash? Great video as always!
As a someone who was 11/12 years old in 2002 and asian-american (although meilin is canadian), I related to Turning Red on a whole different level. It felt like that movie was made for me. Like honestly I got so excited after I watched Turning Red that I texted my brother to see if he had seen it yet. I relate to Turning Red so much is because it was made by a woman who's the same age as me and who's also asian. At the end of the day, Ben probably didn't relate to Turning Red like he thought he should've because it's simply not made for him. Asians are barely starting to play prominent roles in Western media so we haven't had a lot of representation until Turning Red and other movies like Shang Chi, Parasite and Crazy Rich Asians. It's not a bad thing that Ben can't relate to Turning Red! Different kinds of movies are meant to reach and connect so many different kinds of people, and it's great that we're getting that representation now
I really enjoy these videos where you talk about the movies and share your thoughts! Would you maybe consider ranking them on other categories than like “favourite over all”?
Maybe you could do “most beautiful (like animation)” or “best story” or like ranking opening scenes or characters? I think it would be cool to hear your thoughts on those, and maybe you would look at some of the movies differently?
Hugs from a fan in Norway
I think it's also very interesting how your guy's tier lists differed from mine as far as what stage of life you were in when the movie came out, like what ben was saying about cars. I think that for me, finding nemo, inside out, and ratatouille hit me at the right place and the right time, but honestly, as someone who is a bit younger (20), finding dory and incredible 2 hit me at just the right time in my life too, so I ranked them quite a bit higher than yall did. Verrryyyy interesting
One thing I will never understand is why Brave is so hated. I think it's extremely unrated and I love the animation and the music. The story is a little weak, I'll say that, but otherwise I love it!
Not to mention, Merida is my favourite princess.
J is just like my parents. When I was little all I wanted to watch was Cars and when they told me that I laughed over and over again. It's my favorite Pixar movie to date.
I'm really surprised you guys haven't talked about monsters at work (unless you have and I can't find it). I know it's technically disney but I would like if it was also ranked and just to see your general thoughts on it.
It’s a surprisingly really good little miniseries, people seem to not notice it much.
Toy Story 4 should not be considered a Toy Story movie along with the others, if anything it should be completely stand alone. The whole meaning behind Toy Story is that the toys always have eachothers backs and they are truly eachothers family even though Andy is their focus. “Besides, When it all ends, Ill have old Buzz Lightyear to keep me company, to Infinity and Beyond”
No, he doesnt, cause Toy story 4 throws all of it in the trash and burns it.
Inside out, Monsters Inc. and the Incredibles are my top 3, no particular order
So, basically Finding Nemo is the Facebook of Pixar movies for you? I love it in particular because of the big Aussie supporting cast and the Sydney Harbour scenes.
Anyone else feel like Woody is staring deep into your soul?😂
I always saw in meridah that mordu and meridah wanted the same spell but mordu used it basically for 1 evil deed (i hope) and he never fixed the rift that the spell tries to help you heal while meridah did they started out at the same path maybe but took vastly different roads
I personally love Monsters University, so I'd rank it pretty high.
Yeah, that would probably go in the A tier for me
Loved monsters u too! I felt like there was enough time from each to show how far sully came from being with mike
Same!
My "head cannon" for Cars 2, from a lore standpoint (not real life), is that it's one of Mater's Tall Tales, as it's happening, instead of Mater retelling it to one of his friends. Think about it. The general formula for Mater's Tall Tales' is: Mater tells something to a friend (typically McQueen), they don't believe him, Mater tells the story (often with a "and you were there, too!" line, once Mater finishes, the friend is like, "I still don't believe it. It sounds too outrageous to be true", something happens that proves that Mater was telling the truth. Now, with Cars 2, the basic formula is: Mater stumbles into becoming a secret agent without realizing it, meets a girl who says "Meet me at the rendezvous", Mater then tells a friend that he now has a girlfriend, the friend doesn't believe him, we experience the tall tale as it's happening with Mater, the friend still doesn't believe Mater once the tale is done, the lady-friend confirms that she is indeed his girlfriend, and his friend says "Okay, now I believe you". Sure, there are a couple key differences between Mater's Tall Tales and Cars 2, but it still follows the same rough outline. What do you guys think?
I wanna be honest
Luca feels like a Ghibli movie script was handed to Pixar and they did their best
Like...like I'm ok with it...but it just...feels like it could have been so much more...
It was the ending. Basically, the story ran out of time and needed to get happy real fast. The parents had 0 reasons to be happy that Luca competed in a triathlon, yet it was their reason for letting him stay on land. The townspeople hadn't interacted with them, but they were all accepting at the end - I guess because of the pasta race too. And then the friends split up because the kid with no parental guidance just didn't feel like going to school, and Luca was cool with abandoning him. The grandmother kept hinting that she liked going on land, but she never showed up. It would have made so much more sense to have her show her poker buddies that she was a sea monster than those 2 random women. It wasn't thought out imo
Inside came out when i was the same age as Riley, and months after watching the movie and starting middle school, i was having so many emotional problems and inside out was so instrumental is helping me word my feelings.
Especially with the idea of joy leaving HQ
They really should've split Cars 2's plots. It was originally going to be the World Grand Prix by itself, but then they felt it wasn't enough substance...
I thought they added the spy plot line because Paul Newman passed before the script was finished, or something, and so they still needed something interesting beside the WGP.
I loved hearing your opinions, it was interesting and neat to get different perspectives - and my there were quite some differences from my own haha. Really enjoyed the video!
Incredibles is my favorite Pixar movie
I'm not sure if my feeling of pure love and adortion for the movie is nulasgic
We watched this all the time at least once a month, then me and my brothers would run around each having to major characters to be and fighting Syndrome (our dad)
I feel the Finding Nemo stuff. At the time I was doing my Work Experience portion of education in the UK at a shop that sold fish, tropical, cold, saltwater, you name it we had it. The amount of people wanting a 'nemo fish' or a 'dory' fish. None of them really paid attention when I had to explain, especially for the 'dory fish', a Blue Tang, they had very specific requirements to be happy and not die relatively soon. But unfortunately, you had to take them at their word even if deep down you knew you were sending a fish to a death. Safe to say, I never completed my work experience there...
We will not stand for the Bug's Life slander!
Disney theory: every single Disney film is connected they're just each different universes so the mcu is 616 and the Pixar theory universe is 113.
Would you want them to release the older Pixar movies with newer graphics to match the newer Pixar styles like they do with some older video games but keep it exactly the same scene by scene or keep it original film style til the end of time?
1:03:42 that placement of Ratatouille 😭
Did you guys ever watch the movie "rise of the guardians" its a DreamWorks animation movie and its my absolute favourite if i am feeling under the weather i watch that
My oldest made me almost hate Toy Story 1 and 2 she watched ALL THE TIME. And she moved on to the Car trilogy and I was so thankful.
Honestly I enjoy cars as a movie so much more since being able to visit cars land a couple years ago! The vibes are so good! Lol weird how that happens!
I agree. I think that going to Cars Land definitely increased my overall appreciation for and enjoyment of the movie.
@@srayj and thus is the magic of the Disneyland resort! ☺️
Edna Moe: No capes! My dear darling.
Magic powered heroes: What about cloaks.
when Ben put onward above turning red, I, the target audience of turning red who heavily related to it, lost it
You say that, but I was a young girl in 2002, who loved boybands for a little bit, and I still loved Onward more than Turning Red. Maybe it's because of my fantasy background and I got all the jokes in Onward. But truthfully, I think Turning Red has so many humiliating parts, it's kind hard to watch for me. I felt so bad for Mei.
Onward is great. Turning Red is absolute garbage. Plain and simple.
This video has inspired me to do a complete Pixar movie rewatch. Thank you! Also, amazing video! I love these types of tier ranking videos :D
And rating along side made it so much more fun :)
Disney animated movie tierlist ? But then solely disney, not disney pixar.
My favorite pixar movie is Coco. However, a close second has to be cars. It came out at the perfect time for me (I'm 23 so it came out when I was like 7 or 8) and it holds a special place in my heart. Plus the soundtrack is awesome.
The only one I really had different feelings about was Monsters University. I don't know why but I've watched this one a ton and I just really like it. I can completely understand why other people wouldn't have many feelings about it but I have to say it is one of my favorites. I also love Ratatouille.
I love your videos, I recently started watching and I love how wholesome you guys are!
