"How could anyone not love Pixar? They consistently buck the conventions of mainstream animation in favor of mature storytelling, emotional intelligence, and innovative visions to inspire countless smiles, laughs, gasps, and pensive conversations. And teardrops. There probably is not a dam big enough to contain the amount of tears that Pixar movies have been responsible for. However, while Pixar has undoubtedly set a gold standard in many respects for animation filmmaking, other contenders exist in the game. Pixar's track record is stellar but imperfect, and for every movie that was not a Toy Story (1995), Wall-E (2008), or Up (2009), there was another animated work of art that arguably surpassed them that yea and deserved its due credit." - collider.com
