Top 5 Best Pixar Animated Movies

This is my list of my top five favorite Pixar animated movies. This is perhaps the most difficult list I’ve ever put together. Mainly because, with the exception of Cars 2, there isn’t a bad Pixar flick out there. Check out the list of contenders – Toy Story, Toy Story 3, UP, A Bug’s Life, Ratatouille, Cars, and Brave. I can only imagine that this list will continue to grow and that only a few additions won’t make me double check my top five Pixar movies list.

Box Office Gross: $255,873,250     Adjusted: $0

Monsters, Inc. is a factory which sends monsters around the world to scare kids who are trying to sleep. It’s nothing personal, in fact the screams are used to power Monstropolis where the monsters live. This job isn’t easy for the monsters, who believe children are toxic. James P. Sullivan (Goodman), a large woolly blue monster, is one of the company’s top scarers. Teamed up with a troublesome green one-eyed monster named Mike Wazowski (Crystal), the two roommates and best friends are finding that today’s kids are not as easily scared as they used to be.
