Ratatouille is an awesome movie, I watched it when it came out on dvd. Man that movie was good. I was kinda sad I couldn't watch it in the theaters. I'm looking forward to seeing this movie though.
that page bent my ego search
Actually, the Incredibles was pretty good. It was actually the last Pixar movie I saw in the cinema.
It was no Monsters Inc though

I saw it twice. Once with the then-girlfriend and then again with my female friend. This meant I couldn't talk about seeing it twice because the ex was a super-jealous bitch about said friend.
Both times I actually sat through the credit sequence because of how cool it was.
They're getting too good with this CG thing; and the best part is, I reckon video games will look like that in about 40 years.
Remember when Sony had the emotion engine coming out and were promising toy story-like graphics? Yeah, that was awesome.
Toy Story worked because at the time all CG looked like plastic (it was a lighting/texture issue). Instead of trying to make photo-realistic imagery they went with plastic toys and stylized characters. Very few cg movies or games look great and when they do they are a big risk (see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within).
Pixar, while detailed and amazing animation, never goes for the photo-realism. They go with goofy, fun, stylized characters in elaborate settings.
You can't tell me Team Fortress 2 didn't take a page from Pixar's book. The characters in that look like they could have been lifted right out of The Incredibles.
Haha-- that's so true. Video games have so surpassed Pixar's former bar of graphical appearance, with the exception of many anti-aliasing issues that we see so often on Console games.

FF: Spirits Within didn't fail because of the way it looked from a design/art perspective. It suffered from crappy voice acting and even worse animation, which I guess compared to the awesomeness (at the time) of their graphics made for even more of a stark contrast.
I don't see the attraction past Willem DaFoe's character and Ellen Degeneres.
And that Australian shark.
And the lobsters with the Boston accents.
And the surfer dude turtle.
But overall I don't think it stands out among other Pixar movies as 'best'. I liked Monsters Inc. a lot more.
Toy Story, and Ratatouille are my favorites.
Followed by TS2 and Incredibles.
The rest were merely "good" IMO.
I will say that Cars is better with the John Lasseter commentary track. Wow he's really into that stuff..
I spent a month making whale noises with my friend after we saw Finding Nemo. She started it as soon as we walked out of the theater and it didn't end.

I am going to pick up the simpsons movie todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
fuck owen wilson
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the outcome.
I am biased against talking animals. They've been done to death.
Loved loved Monsters Inc. though.
I also can't get the song Brazil out of my head after watching the Wall-E trailer. Think it's a nod to Terry Gilliam's movie?

Wow. I had my hopes up to start with, but it's looking like this movie is going to be 100% adorable from beginning to end.
I also love how they included Wall-E in the Pixar Opener.

All BUM BA BA BUM DA DA *whack* *bam*
I agree. I loved that movie so much.

They'll have the POSSIBILITY of looking that good but who wants to spend a decade getting a game to look that good when it's only about 2 hours long?
Heaven...
ly Sword?

EDIT: That was in response to lostwords.
Also, uncanny valley and blah blah? Man, i'm just a simple caveman lawyer.
ITT ascot shifts into reverse and floors it.
fuck anyone who says otherwise
PARKER, YOU'RE FIRED! <-- My comic book podcast! Satan look here!
Great characters
I think Nemo is my favorite. It edges out Incredibles with Thomas Newman's original score.
looting for the first year i guess
Yes, yes you should. As quickly as possible.
Jerk off.
A lot.
Anyone here that says otherwise is a damn liar.
and probably a cool castle made out of stuff I found at the dump

see Thriller
Outside of them, I would have to say some of the best CG work comes from Blizzard. Too bad they only do stuff thats like 3 minutes long.
A Bug's Life is like the 3rd best adaptation of The Seven Samurai.
Cars is excellent in a lot of ways, even if it is the least excellent Pixar movie.
That would make me a happy person.
It gave me the biggest, goofiest, little kid grin the entire time. Such a great movie.
I'm not a big fan of Finding Nemo.
I don't see the attraction past Willem DaFoe's character and Ellen Degeneres.

Ellen Degeneres annoyed the fuck out of me, and I liked the premise much better when it was used in An American Tail.
Absolutely love Pixar in general, though.

WALL-E looks
I do not love Pixar, but their movies are enjoyable, so they're ok.
I haven't seen ratatouille yet though
