Which films to do you tend to favor more? Or does it just depend? I tend to look favor both almost equally, but here is a full rundown of my thoughts.

Pre-2010:

Pocahontas vs. Toy Story: like I even need to say.
One was the beginning of the end for the Disney Renaissance.
The other revolutionized filmmaking.

Mulan vs. A Bugs Life: okay, Disney wins this round. Both are great, but I just love Mulan so much.

Tarzan vs. Toy Story 2: Toy Story 2, no contest.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire vs. Monsters, Inc.: I ADORE both, but Monsters, Inc. wins this one.

Brother Bear vs. Finding Nemo:
One was among the final straws to convince Disney to stop using traditional animation.
The other dethroned The Lion King as the highest grossing animated film of all time. I am not fond of either, though.

Home on the Range vs. The Incredibles:
One was the absolute final straw that ended traditional animation as a film medium in the West.
The other was the film that finally mastered having a non-creepy human cast in a computer animated film along with being one of the best superhero films of all time. It also happened to be the best Fantastic Four film in existence.

Chicken Little vs. Cars: BOTH SUCKED!

Meet the Robinsons vs. Ratatouille: Ratatouille wins easily, but I did like Meet the Robinsons.

Bolt vs. Wall*E: Tied. I can’t decide. They're both really solid films.

The Princess and the Frog vs. Up:
One was an attempt at resurrecting traditional animation, but created a film that unfortunately just wasn't as good as it could have been and didn't take nearly as many risks as it thought it did by just having the first official black Disney Princess. Great villain, though.
The other took a bizarre concept that could have easily just gone horribly wrong (and probably would have if Pixar tried making it today), but instead turned it into something magical.

Tangled vs. Toy Story 3: Both are solid films, but I have to give this one to Pixar for ’’going there’’ with their flagship franchise and giving it a truly magnificent series finale. I refuse to acknowledge any of the shorts or the next upcoming sequel.

Post-2010:

Winnie the Pooh vs. Cars 2:
Both were made in spite of neither franchise having much success in theaters, but the toys-lines for both sell well.
Overall, Winnie the Pooh was the better film.
Cars 2 was just painful. The less said about the spin-off series Planes the better, which is an abomination onto cinema that I am shocked did not rouse Cthulhu from his slumber in his house at R'lyeh.

Wreck-It Ralph vs. Brave:
One was the first ever great video game movie, proving after years and years of terrible video game adaptations that it CAN be done and that Hollywood can finally cast uwe Boll aside.
The other was hyped with a badass new kind of Disney Princess (who turned out to be anything but) only for the film to be highly derivative and just okay, at best. Craig Ferguson was a hoot as the dad, though.

Frozen vs. Monsters Academy:
One has pretty much become the new Lion King cultural phenomenon.
The other is the most unnecessary prequel of all time. Frozen wins by a avalanche. Seriously, though, Monsters Academy sucked. It was the continuation of a great standalone that no one was asking for.

Big Hero 6 vs. nothing: Its not like Pixar has what it takes to make anything that had a chance in hell against that film, anyway

I could care less about ever seeing Inside Out or The Good Dinosaur. I'm too jaded on their recent failures at this point.

Yes, that's a new Pokemon!
^^From experience of Inside Out... GO AND SEE IT!!

Seriously, it is a good one. You won't regret seeing it and it might just be the thing to get you back into Pixar.

I don't care what company produces a movie. Either I like it or not. All companies produce good and bad ones, some more than others...
