WALL-E is one of the most romantic movies ever made and it is certainly the best love story of the Pixar Empire. Wall-E is a robot who has survived on earth while all the remaining inhabitants of the planet are in outer space on ships. When a protocol droid named EVE goes to Earth in search for life, she meets our Romeo. WALL E spends the remainder of the movie as the hopeless romantic just wanting to hold hands with the most beautiful robot he has ever seen.
This is the Best Family Picture of 2008 because it shows that amazing things can be accomplished by using one's heart. It also is a great look at the realities of what we are doing to our planet and our own bodies and how we might better treat ourselves and our world in the future.
WALL E's favorite love song from his favorite movie Hello Dolly!
Ratatouille is a film about a disgusting rat who can make the most exquisite food. In the human world, rats are despised, but in France, all that matters is the food. And Remi, played by Patton Oswalt, can certainly cook. The idea is so foreign to humans, that it takes the help of a down on his luck janitor to change their fates forever.
Ratatouille is the Best Family Picture of 2007 because of Remi's ability to prove to both humans and his father that being your own person can bring out the best in everyone. It's a great movie to teach both independence and responsibility, without endorsing rebellion. Remi doesn't want to lose the respect of his father or give up his life long dreams.
Finding Nemo is the best Pixar movie ever made. This is Andrew Stanton's masterpiece, and in the process, created the
best Disney character since Robin Williams stared as the Genie with
Ellen DeGeneres as Dory. It has all the elements of a perfect Disney Film. Interestingly, like so many other Disney Classics, it also has the most common theme (becoming an orphan in the opening sequence.)
However, Nemo learns from Gil and Marlin learns from Dory the same lesson which is: trust and friendship create the strongest relationships.
It is a must see and the Best Family Picture of 2003.
Toy Story 2 is the first sequel in the Disney Pixar franchise is also one of the best movies of 1999. The second installment of the Toy Story empire is just as heartwarming and just as fun as the first. It introduces new characters to 'Andy's Room' and includes one of the most beautiful, emotional sequences in the company's history...(You Tube Clip below)
Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are just as fabulous in the sequel, and the message this franchise sends through their movies about loyalty and friendship are second to none.
Pixar began a phenomenon that has taken Disney beyond anything anyone could ever have anticipated. Disney has always been the king of animated features, but with Toy Story, it has become the king of computer animation. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen lead a brilliant cast that has spawned not only two more Toy Story movies, but a collection of masterpieces in cinema. At the time, nobody knew what a gold mine they had, but now director John Lasseter is one of the most successful directors/producers in the world.
When the newest toy threatens the establishment, they all must learn to work together. This is one of the finest films about teaching family the importance of sticking together. It is my choice for Best Family Picture of 1995.
