What Pixar movie should I watch right now?

Start with WALL-E (2008).

Already seen it? Try Toy Story · Deep cut: Toy Story 2

  1. WALL-E

    1.WALL-E

    2008

    A lonely trash-compacting robot, almost no dialogue, and one of the great screen romances. WALL-E tops the list because it's bold, beautiful and moving. Gemini had it as its #1, and so did Claude.

  2. Toy Story

    2.Toy Story

    1995

    The first fully computer-animated feature changed movies forever and still holds up. Woody and Buzz's rivalry is warm, funny and endlessly quotable. ChatGPT made it its #1, and every engine kept it near the top.

  3. Ratatouille

    A rat who dreams of cooking in Paris shouldn't work this well, yet it's a love letter to craft and creativity. Anton Ego's closing review is an all-timer. Gemini ranked it right near its very top.

  4. Up

    4.Up

    2009

    Its opening montage alone has sent millions reaching for tissues. Carl, Russell and a house lifted by balloons add up to a sweet, funny adventure about grief and getting back out into the world.

  5. The Incredibles

    A superhero family drama with sleek mid-century style, a sharp villain and genuinely thrilling action. ChatGPT and Gemini both rated it highly, while Claude was cooler on it, placing it near the bottom of its list.

  6. Inside Out

    Setting a story inside an 11-year-old's emotions was a huge gamble that paid off. Joy and Sadness make an unlikely duo, and the film is clever, funny and honest about growing up.

  7. Finding Nemo

    A worried clownfish crosses the ocean to find his son in a film that is gorgeous, funny and full of unforgettable side characters. Dory alone could carry a movie, and she nearly does.

    GChatGPT#6CClaude#7GeGemini#6
  8. Toy Story 3

    The trilogy-closer that made a generation cry at an incinerator and again at a goodbye. It's a tense prison-break comedy with a heartfelt farewell to Andy, and a rare third film that earns its place.

  9. Coco

    9.Coco

    2017

    A vibrant Día de los Muertos adventure about family, memory and music, anchored by the song "Remember Me." Its emotional finale lands hard, and the film makes every engine's top ten.

    GChatGPT#9CClaude#9GeGemini#8
  10. Toy Story 2

    The rare sequel that arguably beats the original, with Jessie, Stinky Pete and a rescue mission. Only Claude named it, and it ranked it in its top five, which is enough to make this list.
