It has a better average for quality and consistency than any other movie studio in business today. <\/p>\n<p>Picking a &#8220;best&#8221; film from this list is difficult. My instinct is to go for &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/3904\/incredibles.html\">The Incredibles<\/a>&#8216;, a movie that truly lives up to its name. But then I remember how much I also love &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/2155\/monstersinc.html\">Monsters, Inc.<\/a>&#8216; and &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/1048\/ratatouille.html\">Ratatouille<\/a>&#8216; and &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/2156\/bugslife.html\">A Bug&#8217;s Life<\/a>&#8216;, and of course the whole &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/4035\/toystory_trilogy_box.html\">Toy Story<\/a>&#8216; franchise. What a touch choice!<\/p>\n<p>Has Pixar really made a &#8220;dud&#8221; yet? I have a feeling that most people will select &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/630\/cars.html\">Cars<\/a>&#8216; for that unfortunate distinction. Honestly, even that isn&#8217;t really a <em>bad<\/em> film. It&#8217;s just not up to the same level as the studio&#8217;s others. &#8216;Cars&#8217; is aimed at a very young audience, and lacks much appeal for adults. Unlike most other Pixar productions, &#8216;Cars&#8217; is decidedly a <em>kids&#8217;<\/em> movie, not a <em>family<\/em> film.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be honest, the Pixar movie that does the least for me is &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/2619\/up.html\">Up<\/a>&#8216;. I know that it&#8217;s beloved by many and won an Oscar, but the movie just didn&#8217;t work for me. That opening scene is a lovely, emotionally wringing little short film on its own, but the balloons and talking dogs and whatnot afterwards lost my interest pretty quickly. (The second half of &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/bluray.highdefdigest.com\/1729\/walle.html\">WALL-E<\/a>&#8216; has a similar issue, though to a lesser extent.)<\/p>\n<p>So vote in our polls and tell us in the Comments what you think.
