After 2006 they were still knocking out an extremely high rate of absolutely impressive films:
Wall-E -- if you don't love this film you are possibly dead inside. It's not only absolutely beautiful and emotionally communicative, it's a deeply clever pastiche.
Up, as observed below.
Toy Story 3 came out after Up. And it is a work of acutely well-observed cinema. A staggeringly good film that should have won the Best Picture Oscar. [0]
Brave (2012) is critically neglected, too -- that is a beautiful, subtle, yes quite elusive film, despite what the article says.
And then there are films I have not seen yet but I am told are clever, inventive and beautiful -- Coco, Inside Out, Soul.
They are by any measure still a masterpiece factory. This article is lazy, toxic and cynical.
[0] edit: when I say this, I say it in the sense that surely everyone knows now that E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial should have won Best Picture, not Gandhi. Even Richard Attenborough thought this.

- panzi 3y agoI think Luca, too.
- ljlolel 3y agoFrozen!
- xnx 3y agoFrozen isn't Pixar
- fernandotakai 3y ago>And then there are films I have not seen yet but I am told are clever, inventive and beautiful -- Coco, Inside Out, Soul. you should watch both coco and soul. coco is beautiful. it's a love letter to mexican culture. soul is not only quite beautiful but the soundtrack... oh! i mean it's trent reznor, atticus ross and jon batiste. it won both a grammy and an oscar!
- wil421 3y agoI’m glad I have young kids because I missed most animation movies in the last 15-20 years. It’s great when a new one comes out.
- jwozn 3y agoNow is the perfect time to watch those old ones that you missed. I'm doing it with my son and love it, probably more than he does.
- the_lonely_road 3y agoWeird because of those three movies I would say Inside Out was the most beautiful masterpiece they have created in the last 10 years hands down.
- pradn 3y agoThat’s a movie where the message really did change my life. I used to think a good life was one without sadness, and now I know it’s part of life, and you have to learn to cope with it. A simple insight, maybe I had always known it, but the movie reinforced it. No happiness without sadness!
- CommitSyn 3y agoI was visiting with a therapist at the time and they were encouraging everyone to watch it if they could. It touched on a number of intrinsic but commonly overlooked things that most people never think about, but also went pretty deep into our current understanding of the mind in some parts.
- city41 3y agoIt's the best animated movie I've ever seen I believe.
- chx 3y agoAfter Zootopia, yes :)
- gjsman-1000 3y agoI never really got the love for Toy Story 3, especially from parents. The first time we saw it, we thought it was unnecessarily dark and also designed to cause children to have separation anxiety from disposing of old toys.
- pram 3y agoDon’t watch the Brave Little Toaster then!
- bemusedthrow75 3y agoIt is surely not a lightweight film with the same kind of peril as the first movie -- it's perhaps like a later book a series might be aimed at a slightly older reader. Not sure I'd show it to the youngest kids. But it could be scarier. It could be Coraline.
- UncleMeat 3y agoIMO, Toy Story 3 was a perfect movie for the people who saw Toy Story 1 as a child and were now young adults, having recently left home and moved away. The heart of that movie is in the parents having to let Andy go. They tell the story through the Toys, but flip it over to the parents in a few small scenes. I've never been so compelled to call my parents than after watching Toy Story 3.
- epiccoleman 3y agoI saw Toy Story 3 with a group of longtime friends when it came out in the summer between high school and college. Definitely some wet eyes in the group during those final scenes. I don't think I could have chosen a more appropriate time for that movie if I tried.
- goda90 3y agoI went to see it with my mom. I had just recently returned from living out of the country for a couple years and I was only home for a month before leaving again to school in another state. Definitely an emotional ending for us both.

- lencastre 3y agoPixar is a blockbuster churning powerhouse with a very specific style. Granted the last 5 years the pandemic, writers’ strike, and the PC movements affect the process and the outcome. Also the tricky balance at executive level to try to appeal to a broader audience and be more inclusive and take fewer risks etc etc etc… Whenever I think of Pixar, honestly, I think HQ graphics, storytelling which is imaginative and new — Finding Nemo, Monster’s Inc, Wall-E, Cars, Toy Story 2, Inside Out, Incredibles, and Soul… all these my favorites and I love Partyssaurus Rex!!
