Every Pixar Movie, Ranked From Worst to Best
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.
Though it make its world premiere at Cannes, Pixar's newest feature appears to be one of the animation studio's least impressive films to date. Directed by Peter Sohn (The Good Dinosaur), Elemental sets a story that's effectively about immigration and diversity (with a romance mixed in for good measure) in a fantastical city where members of the various "elements"—water, fire, air, and land—live together. But reviewers complained about a lack of originality and inspiration and an excess of energy spent on world-building.
“There’s poetry and soul here, but both are watered down by how much the movie seems to be multitasking. With Pixar, sincerity is elemental. The rest risks distracting from what really matters.” —Peter Debruge, Variety
