Obviously Pixar brings out people's strong tastes. They're very specific movies with very specific voices; it's no wonder one over another appeals to different people. To me, Brad Bird's movies have never touched me as emotionally as Stanton's. It's a clear, clear winner. While I enjoy Ratatouille, Incredibles, and Giant, I have to admit: each of them leaves me a little bit cold.* None of Stanton's ever have. My top Pixar choices would be:
1: Finding Nemo/Wall-E (tie)
2: Toy Story 2 (if you think it's bad, maybe take another look, there's a lot of heart.)
3: Toy Story
4: Ratatouille
5: Incredibles
6: Monster's Inc
7: Cars
8: Bug's Life
I really think the list is going to vary highly for everyone.
*cold in comparison with the higher films on my list. Certainly they kick the asses of most films being made these days.
