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.
The first spinoff from Pixar's most successful franchise (Toy Story) serves as an origin story for Buzz Lightyear, the astronaut who inspired the toy of the same name in those prior movies. While the toy, of course, was voiced by Tim Allen, it is Chris Evans who stars in Lightyear as the voice of the "real" Buzz Lightyear. The 2022 release paled in comparison to the Toy Story films according to critics who felt that Lightyear lacked Pixar's usual story quality—though they did appreciate the visuals.
“What ultimately waters down Lightyear, an otherwise polished, gorgeous-looking entry into the Pixar oeuvre, is an absence of the excitement and disciplined storytelling spirit that made Toy Story such a pioneering hit.” —Tomris Laffly, A.V. Club
