"Cars" wows theater owners in first public screening

Interesting how taste differs. The Incredibles is at the tippiest top of my Pixar list ... and it was the best picture of 2005, imo.

Toy Story follows right on its heels, in my personal ranking. A classic buddy story that tops anything else in that genre, imo. Hysterical performances by leads Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, ditto for every supporting character, plus brilliant writing and story construction. I could go on and on, but I'll let its vast popularity speak for itself (note that it's the only Pixar film to have yet rated a sequel). I also love Toy Story because - despite it being about toys - there's no kids as main characters. (Hmm, I guess the same can be said of my much despised Bug's Life.


Next it's Finding Nemo, followed by Monster's Inc.. Love them both. Kids play a big role in both movies.

But that doesn't make them kidflicks. The tone is good in both films for both kiddies and adults. The same cannot be said, imo, for It's a Bug's Life, which slimes the bottom of my Pixar barrell. Strictly for the kidlets, though I did not find it without any charm whatsoever.

It remains the only Pixar film I've seen only once. I've watched the others about a dozen times each.
