Last updated May 2023 to add Elemental.
Sure, the magical, computer-generated world of Pixar creates some fantastic characters. But some Pixar films are more incredible than others. That’s why we’ve assembled all of the animation studio’s movies ranked by their Metascores, so you can make wise choices for your family’s next binge-watching session.
After a pair of sequels, Pixar returned to original storytelling in late 2017 with this Oscar-winning, Day of the Dead-themed musical tale from Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich. Coco was a box office hit in the U.S., but did so well in Mexico that it now stands as that country's highest-grossing film in history.
“Coco is animatedly empowering entertainment for anyone who’s ever had to go against the wishes of their family to achieve their most heartfelt dreams.” —Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
