Rank order:

Toy Story (1995)
Toy Story 2 (1999)
A Bug's Life (1998)


I definitely seen some, if not all of the earlier shorts, but can't be certain, and don't really consider them films, so I'm not including them in my rankings.

1. Toy Story 2 - A (took me awhile, but I've come around to preferring this to the original)
2. Toy Story - A
3. Tin Toy - B+ (this is the one with the toy and the rampaging baby. It's on one of the Toy Story DVD's.)
4. Luxo, Jr. - B (the one with the rubber ball and the Luxo Lamps that are Pixar's trademark. On one of the Toy Story DVD's)
5. Knick Knack - B (the snow globe short with Bobby McFerrin music that played before Nemo)
6. A Bug's Life - C-

Own: 2 + at least 2 shorts, I haven't looked at the Nemo DVD closely enough to see if Knick Knack is on it.

Toy Story 2 (1999)
A Bug's Life (1998)
Toy Story (1995)

Knick Knack (1989)
Tin Toy (1988)
Red's Dream (1987)
Luxo Jr. (1986)


Aye aye what's all this than? Rating 5 minute shorts now Jim, running out of feature films are we? Seen none of these Pixar efforts at the cinema, in fact the only CG animations I've seen at the cinema are the non-Pixar, Shrek, Antz and Final Fantasy.

My liking of Toy Story 2 is handicapped by the fact I can't stand the new animated characters of Stinky Pete and Jesse and their voices, so much so that I speed thru whole sections of film that contain those two characters, otherwise technically the film is superior to the first but for me, far less enjoyable.

1)Toy Story
2)A Bug's Life
3)Toy Story 2
