Top Ten INCREDIBLE Computer Animated Blu-rays

[IEStrikes Back]

Other than those already mentioned, I would add Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole to the list. Although the story may not be quite as strong as some of the others, the PQ and AQ are both incredible.

@Palmer

Per your request, here's a list from a Geezer
10.) Dragon Hunter
9.) Ratatouille
8.) Kung Fu Panda
7.) Toy Story 1
6.) How to Train Your Dragon
5.) Monsters, Inc.
4.) Wall*e
3.) The Incredibles
2.) Toy Story 3
1.) Up

We could argue the inclusion of Toy Story 2 forever, but a list of 10 has to leave some worthy contenders off. Perhaps we should make the list 15 or 20 titles long.

[HuskerGuy]

Biggest omission is Tangled imo. Watched it this weekend and thought it was easily one of, if not the best CG movies I'd seen.

I'll post my ten later.

[impetus]

I think the list is pretty strange...It contains duds like "Horton hears a hu" or "Surfs Up" but not fantastic movies like "Despicable Me", "Shrek" or "Toy Story". Does not make much sense to me :-(.

Well, it just goes to show that it's just an opinion piece. Just to highlight: Toy Story is well loved but it's largely nostalgia. The third one is miles better. I thought Horton was actually a lot of fun and stylistically respectful of Seuss but found Shrek moronic. Despicable Me is probably really great but I skipped it because the trailers stunk so bad. See, it's all relative

Anyway I think the list was more relative to PQ/AQ , in which the older hits like Toy Story and Shrek don't hold up quite as well.

[Leterface]

In this list, I love Horton and it has a great PQ. Same goes for Kungfu Panda and Monsters Inc is good but I find rewatching it over and over, as (my) child use to do, harder than especially Kungfu Panda and Horton is quite rewatchable too.

In this list, I dislike Wall-E (only seen it on DVD).

And finally the others on this list are interesting for me (or child), but since I just bought the the Toy Story's for my children/me (watched part 1 and thought it looked great despite age) I think I won't buy any other of them on this list or any else for that matter, with the exception of perhaps The Incredibles witch I find the most interesting atm.

[BambooLounge]

My Top Ten:

1. Wall-E
2. Ratatouille
3. Up
4. Toy Story 2
5. Toy Story
6. The Incredibles
7. Toy Story 3
8. Tangled
9. Monster's Inc
10. Bolt

Yeah, I realize the site's list could not be entirely Disney/Pixar for obvious reasons, but really, when it comes to animated films there is Pixar then the rest. Shrek just didn't age well for me at all. I loved it when I saw it in theaters back in the day, but now I just want to punch someone whenever I hear that damn Smashmouth song or hear the word "donkey" in a Scottish accent. All that knowing humor and audience winking ruins it and makes it really dated.

Just finished watching The Incredibles on BD. First time in years I have seen the film and I really forgot just how excellent it is. Moved it up in my personal Pixar ranking above Monster's Inc and Toy Story 3.

[Stormshadow4life]

I agree there should be a Toy Story on the list, but I can't for the life of me decide which one. Also I think Tangled should have popped up on the list. I think that movie is definitely better than any of the bottom three. Actually, I think you could look at most of Disney's CG and find a place for it. Bolt and The Wild were both amazing in terms of picture and entertaining. Good List, but I would have found a place for one of Disney's CG.

Gotta agree with you on Tangled and Bolt. I'd gladly cut out 2 others to include those.....although I have no idea what "the Wild" is.....

[CaptainArcher]

Any list of cgi "features" has to START with any of the Toy Stories, I'd pick 2.. any list leaving them all off cannot be taken seriously. And anyway, seriously, Monster House, Surf's Up over Toy Story 3? Crack or cocaine?

Michael,

Here is my personal ten. May be a bit different but it is just me and the wife, no kids yet so we have not watched EVERY CG animation blu yet. Also I chose these mainly based on the overall demo quality not by how many times I can/will watch the film.
1. The Incredibles
2. Toy Story 3
3. Up
4. Shrek the Third
5. Well-E
6. Kung Fu Panda
7. Ratatouille
8. Monsters, Inc.
9. Monster House
10. Ice Age
It is fairly difficult to put them in order. 1 – 3 are in order; IMO then the rest are somewhat random to an extent. While I was and am still not a big Shrek fan the quality of 3 is pretty dang good, IMO.

[yankeefankc]

10. Ratatouille
9. Up
8. Kung Fu Panda
7. How to Train Your Dragon
6. Bolt
5. Toy Story Trilogy
4. Tangled
3. Wall-E
2. The Incredibles
1. Monsters, Inc.

[cooltobeyou]

1. Up
2. Toy Story 2
3. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
4. The Incredibles
5. Meet the Robinsons
5. Kung Fu Panda
6. Toy Story
7. Shrek
8. TMNT
9. Bee Movie
10. Monsters vs. Aliens

Coraline beats all of these movies though...but it's not technically CGI, so I didn't count it.

[Tobito]

NO UNCANNY VALLEY IN "MONSTER HOUSE"! I've never seen the movie, but every time I catch it on TV it kinda makes me sick and I hate every character for no reason.

[tridon]

In the meantime, I'd love to get some ALTERNATE lists posted in here. Anyone have a quick second to rank their personal TOP TEN CGI animated films? I'd love to see what you guys are watching and/or how you'd order them.

Ask and you will receive!

1. Monster House
2. Toy Story 3
3. How to Train Your Dragon
4. WALL-E
5. The Incredibles
6. Ice Age
7. Dinosaur
8. 9
9. Happy Feet
10. Renaissance

Wow... I never realized how hard it'd be to make a Top 10 for CGI films. It's safe to say that I have a LOT of runner-ups!

[cooltobeyou]

This thread needs more "Meet the Robinsons" love. Totally underrated movie...with a lot of freaking heart! Once you get past the bumpy "meeting the Robinsons scenes", the movie really goes into directions that I didn't really expect. Good stuff.

[CaptainArcher]

Top 5 seems adequate -
1. Toy Story 2
2. The Incredibles
3. Toy Story
4. Toy Story 3
5. AntZ
