Toy Story (1995)

still holds up, don't skip it even if you think you remember it

A Bug's Life (1998)

Toy Story 2 (1999)

better than the first by a decent margin, controversial opinion apparently

Monsters, Inc. (2001)

Finding Nemo (2003)

The Incredibles (2004)

still the best Pixar has ever done at action, no spoilers needed, just watch it

Cars (2006)

Ratatouille (2007)

the ego review scene is one of the best endings Pixar has ever written

WALL-E (2008)

first 40 minutes barely have dialogue, that's the point

Up (2009)

everyone talks about the opening, the rest of the movie earns it too

Toy Story 3 (2010)

Cars 2 (2011)

Pixar fans pretend this one doesn't exist, it's fine, just not for the same audience as the rest of this list

Brave (2012)

Monsters University (2013)

Inside Out (2015)

sounds like a concept that shouldn't work for kids, it does

The Good Dinosaur (2015)

one of Pixar's more interesting swings, underperformed at the time, worth revisiting on its own terms, not next to Inside Out

Finding Dory (2016)

Cars 3 (2017)

Coco (2017)

makes an entire theater cry at once, no spoilers, just bring tissues

Incredibles 2 (2018)

Toy Story 4 (2019)

closes the series properly, i was skeptical going in

Onward (2020)

Soul (2020)

released straight to streaming during COVID, deserved a theater

Luca (2021)

Turning Red (2022)

most divisive adult reaction i've seen on a Pixar movie, kids love it, that's who it's for

Lightyear (2022)

Elemental (2023)

slow start, better back half, most people quit too early

Inside Out 2 (2024)

Elio (2025)

Hoppers (2026)

newest one before Toy Story 5, keeping this note short on purpose since it's still fresh

Toy Story 5 (2026)

just came out this year, stop after this one until they announce a sixth
