The Best Animated Film of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2006)

This 2003 triumph from Pixar - the outfit that gave us both "Toy Story" movies and "MonSters, Inc." - has a more emotionally substantial story than its predecessors, set against stunningly beautiful backgrounds that set a new high-water mark in the digital art form, surpassing even "Shrek," produced by Pixar's arch-rivals at PDI. This film proves Pixar reigns as the finest storytellers in family film. To create a grand odyssey for two lovable underdogs, the Pixar team mixes playfulness, a deep love of film, and a visual beauty that is unmatched in the industry. This is not just a great animated movie Â– it is a superior film, period.
