I know we're all adults here, but c'mon, we all know that Pixar movies are awesome...so swallow your pride and vote for one of these "kids" movies.
Personally I've enjoyed almost all of the pixar movies I've seen, mainly because while they're targeted towards kids, they can be really hilarious, AND have adult themes. This will be a tough choice for me.

This is a tough choice but I'm going to go with Toy Story. that was the most amazing animated film ever and the sequel (good but just not as good) was the first movie I saw in a cinema. the order after those two would be: Finding Nemo A Bug's Life The Incredibles Monsters Inc.
As fir Cars, Rataouille and Wall-E, I have yet to see them and I haven't even heard of Up! What's that all about?

Toy Story, with Wall-E in a very very very very very close second. But c'mon these movies are no just kids movies, so many hidden adult jokes in them, plus I'm only 17, so yeah. Toy Story was new when I was pretty young, still one of my favorite movies to this day.

I agree with Koopa, Toy Story was one of my favorite movies when I was growing up. I mean, what little kid does not like the idea of their favorite toys come to life? *Side note: I remember after I saw the movie Toy Story, I came home and peaked through the crack of the door to my bedroom. Why? Because I was trying to see if my toys indeed, live a secret life while I was away. To my disappointment, they just sat there, still as... toys. Anyway, Toy Story is a wonderful movie. However, I did not vote for it. LOL
My vote went to Ratatouille. It's such a cool movie, the concept is something completely original! I mean, a rat.... that cooks.... only the people at pixar could think of something like that and actually pull it off with grace. I have pet rats, so whenever I watch the movie I picture one of my little ones as Remmy, cooking away. lol anyway, it's about time rats showed up in a movie where they are not an enemy, a symbol of death to come, or simply shown as vile rodent.
Yay Pixar!

They're all really good, I'm yet to see Up!, but I'm sure it has to be great, I've liked every Pixar movie I've seen.

The Incredibles hands down I still love that one almost as when I first watched it. No idea what takes second or third.
I still haven't seen WALL-E, come to think of it

I'd personally have to say The Incredibles. Pixar does some amazing films, but The Incredibles was just something else, in my opinion. Syndrome is also one of my favorite Disney villains of all time, too. Unfortunately, it seems that Disney is now relying on Pixar to keep up the slack and not really rely on their other studios these days...which is extremely unfortunate, having grown up in the Disney Renaissance (1989-1999) it sort of pains me to see them having gone this way.
If we're going by nostalgic factor, it's definitely a tie between Toy Story and A Bug's Life. Toy Story was my second favorite film as a kid (the first being Pinocchio) and I've always loved creepie crawlies, even as a child.

This was a tough call for me to make...my top 3 are: The Incredibles Wall-E Ratatouille
I also really enjoyed UP, although I'm not sure it beats any of them....
In the end, I voted for Wall-E, mainly because I love the themes of the film...it's satirical portrayal of consumerism and cultural disintegration in the world today, as well as the beautifully rendered love story between two beings who should be completely objective in nature: robots. I love the others, but I couldn't click on any title but this one.

Well I voted for Ratatouille because its great and all. And I loved the animation of it also and the story was great and personnaly I think it was made more towards an older public but the characters where funy so that kids could enjoy it also.
2nd comes Wall-E. But I stll prefer the robots in that one (Wall-E and EeeeeeeeeeeVA) and the little love they had between them. I even bought the robot (wall-e) for my kid with which I play myself from time to time
3rd would be Cars, another one that my son enjoyed alot and that I had to watch atleast 20 times. His be is Lightning McQueen lol and tons of toys about all those Cars
Finally 4th place would go to finding Nemo.

Great list Waaar, It's good to know someone loves Ratatouille as much as I do! I have never seen the movie Cars, but I heard it was pretty good.

I've seen parts of Cars, and it just never really caught my attention. I could be wrong, but it seems more kid-oriented to me. What makes a good Pixar movie for me is a good balance between child and adult themes...kind of like Incredibles. It's appealing to kids for sure, but there's a ton of adult humor in there that really makes it a good comedy, plain and simple.

eh well...I guess they all have some adult comedy in there...but you have to admit, some of the Pixar films appeal to kids more than others....like Cars. I don't know why, i just think kids would be more into it than say, Wall-E or Up.

I'm pretty sure that's the new one that's about to come out.

So, is it's just about to come out for you, I estimate it'll take another 6 months to come out in Britain.
It's a really good film. Not quite as good Ratatuille or Wall-E, but up there in the Pixar film library. It had an emotional storyline, especially in the beginning...
Here's a trailer-

I have voted for Wall•E, but it's only because I prefer its vision of the future only slightly more than the emotional slap in the face that "Up!" delivered to me.

They are suposedly coming out with toy story 3 next
Personally I thought Up! Was a pretty good film. I liked that it was so emotional, it gave the film depth and made it all the more interesting. Plus I like a good tear-jerker every now and again. Oh, and of course the message of living life to the fullest, no matter how old you are was a pretty good one...
@ Roy-what is it about Wall E's vision for the future that you enjoyed? The death of the earth due to over-consumerism, or the fact that humans return and go back to older methods of survival to remake the Earth?

The planet destroying itself with over-consumerism primarily, but the foundations of survival also as a secondary enjoyment.

ok there's no toy story 3 on this list. I saw toy story 3 a few days ago and it is probably the best pixar movie yet. I didnt think a 3rd toy story was a good idea but boy was i wrong. it was so funny especially the ken parts. and did anyone cry? cause i admit i couldnt hold back tears even towards the end. i hope others saw this film, if not your missing out!!!!
