Yeah, that was a magic era for PIXAR. Too bad they've slipped on their last two films.
As much as I liked TOY STORY, I prefer the sequel.
My favorite PIXAR? probably THE INCREDIBLES.
No love for Ratatouille? Seems like they recovered for the time being from the uneven Cars.
It's arguably Brad Bird's & Pixar's best yet and that means one of cinema's finest, period - animation, live action, or documentary. I personally prefer The Incredibles, but Ratatouille is slightly behind. After more viewings, who knows.
To be honest, you know what I thought RATATOUILLE is?
Its the movie version of a Tom & Jerry cartoon.
That said, its amazing how the original director jumped ship, and Brad Bird was hauled in by PIXAR to salvage it.
The reason why I rate THE INCREDIBLES so highly because you can enjoy it on 3 levels:
(1) An adventure story inspired by Bond and adventure pulp tales. (2) Jokes about, but not at the expense of, superhero-dom. (3) One hell of a mid-life crisis.
