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.
While a Metascore of 88 is nothing to scoff at, Toy Story 2 is the lowest-rated film in the trilogy. With Andy off at cowboy camp, the toys get into some mischief, including the kidnapping of Woody, who, until now, hasn’t realized he was a collector’s item. Four years after the original, some critics felt it was just as good, if not better, than the original, while others felt some of the novelty had worn off.
