Toy Story will always set the bar for the greatest Pixar because it has set the format, technology and conventions that have been followed almost religiously year in and out. Each year, we have another ten or so Toy Stories essentially.

Finding Nemo and The Incredibles are both masterpieces. No pixar movie has come closer to the human psyche than Finding Nemo. And The Incredibles proved that not only could animation serve the action genre, but perhaps animation is the superior vehicle for action/sci-fi/adventure.

Cars is a near-masterpiece. Its one set-back is the stock characters that surround the protagonist. Ratatouille and Toy Story 2 were also worthy additions. Although I may be a little hazy as to the details of Toy Story 2.

Monsters, Inc. is a worthy addition as well, but it seems geared solely to children which is certainly off-putting to adults. But I can appreciate its imaginative spirit. Bug's Life was a mis-step for Pixar. It came off as very derivative at its release. And I found the characters and storyline distant and unaffecting.
