Until Wall-E is released, Ratatouille remains the best Pixar film. It was a phenomenal work.

Is "R" better than "tI"? This is not meant to cheapen either. Effectively, Brad Bird is indomitable.

Yeah, this has been nagging at me for a while now. Trying not to think about it too much, don't want it to spoil what could be a good movie.

I prefer The Incredibles to Ratatouille, but as you said, Bird is a god.

But while on the subject...

The Iron Giant>>>>>The Incredibles>>Ratatouille

(The Iron Giant being my favourite animated film ever)

Toy Story is still by far their crowning achievement (not that the rest are slouches of course). People proclaiming various movies as "best animated movie ever" obviously haven't seen Bambi. Or Pinocchio. I too am extremely excited about Wall*E.

I think so, yes. In pacing Ratatouille is superb. Although I consider the Incredibles to be one of the best scripts ever written. So it may be a matter of which story one feels a greater emotional connection to. For me, that would be Ratatouille and what the movie had to say about passion and art.

Have you guys seen this list?

One of these things is not like the other things, one of these things just doesn't belong...

[Damo Suzuki]

No. Snow White is the best animated movie.

Edit: But I don't like to quantify films as animated and non-animated The Incredibles is just a good film.

[The Luscious Phil]

Hmm. Much as I loved Ratatouille, it didn't sustain it's absolute joy somewhat on repeated viewings, for me. Best animated feature ever, in your book? Ever see any of the Miyazaki films?

yes I have.

To me, Ratatouille gets better with every viewing. LIke significantly better.

Four great movies... but four movies that would not make my top five.

You and I will probably disagree, but Cinderella is the least of those 10.

[feisty]

Disney's Robin Hood should be on some list somewhere. And 101 Dalmations is (more objectively) brilliant, I think.

Methinks he's trying to declare how much Shrek sucks ass.

Dunno, I give it high marks for the voice actors and the Roger Miller songs than for the animation production itself.

EDIT: Drop Cinderella, replace with Happy Feet.

OH... GULP!!! Totally forgot about that.

I don't understand how any serious list of great animation could include that irritating smörgåsbord of lame pop-culture references.

THANK YOU.

The Matrix reference was easily the low point - by the time Shrek came out, it was probably the 1000th time Hollywood recycled the same exact bullet-time spoof.

Yeah, at least with Happy Feet, those other film allusions were more clever, subtle allusions (as long as you could also buy penguins who happen to vocalize American pop tunes as standins for actual penguin-English;)).
