While certainly one of the less outright iconic and emotionally affecting Pixar movies, I definitely think of the first Incredibles mo...

Just like the Studio Ghibli films, I’ve fallen behind with Pixar’s movies and can no longer say I’ve seen them all. Not only am I a yea...

I doubt Inside Out will be remembered as one of Pixar's best. Certainly I didn't see it in the cinema and unlike Wall-E or Up ...

Finding Dory was preceded by the short film Piper , which was a characteristically cute little story of a little sandpiper who at first...

Well, since I'd finally gotten around to getting some thoughts on  A Bug's Life  recorded, it seemed a good idea to finish the fu...

I have seen every Pixar film as it has come out, but a few of them predate my efforts to write down my thoughts, so those have to wait fo...

The main qualm I heard about  Monsters University , the newest of the Pixar follow-ups, was that without being pinned down by the cutenes...

Brave doesn’t deserve the harsh appraisals I read before going to see it. It may not have the biggest emotional impacts of all Pixar’s fi...

So here it is, Pixar’s first flop. It always seemed a very odd decision to make sequels to Cars , by far the least critically acclaimed of P...

When I saw it back in 2005, I found The Incredibles quite brilliant. It was, I wrote, easy, silly fluff based on a great idea – after all, w...

Up was, I think, a new triumph for Pixar. Now that they’ve moved on from making novel objects talk ( toys , bugs , cars , fish , rats ) an...

Considering I didn’t like the trailer, finding Wall-E ’s Johnny 5-derived design bland and the premise dull, I was very pleasantly surprised...

The Oscars in March 2002 were the first to have an Academy Award for feature-length animation. In February, on the 3rd to be precise, I had...

‘Finding Nemo was a joy to watch, if not on a par with the Toy Story films (graphic effects excluded). Another charming, escapist buddy mo...

It’s incredible to me that Toy Story came out in 1995. I know people who weren’t even born then. I’m probably one of very few in my London f...
