All 28 Pixar Movies Ranked From Worst to Best
Do you agree? Let's start with this premise: Pretty much, Pixar movies are good. It's nearly impossible to find a studio with as good of a track record: Pixar has put out 28 feature-length movies since 1995, and none of them are total duds — each one has something to recommend, be it a technical achievement, an emotional ride or an unforgettable character. But that doesn't mean they're all created equal. Some dazzle with state-of-the-art visuals, others get the tears flowing and many of them make you feel good with tales of unlikely friendships. Here's the definitive ranking of all 28 Pixar feature films, listed from worst to best. If you have any gaps in your Pixar viewing, there’s never been a better time to catch up —or rewatch to see if you can spot all those Pixar Easter eggs! For one thing, all of the movies except for the newest, Inside Out 2, are available on Disney+. (Compare that to the longstanding Disney practice of “the vault,” where they took movies out of home-video circulation to increase demand for the VHS tapes and DVD/Blu-rays when they did become available.) Many are also available to rent through other services, like Amazon's Prime Video, though the prices vary by movie. And, if you're finished watching all those Pixar films and still need something good to watch with the kids, check out the best kids' movies of 2024. (And yes, Inside Out 2 is on the list, as are a couple of other Pixars that returned to theaters this year.)

Authors who hated their movie adaptations
From 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' to 'Lord of the Rings,' there are numerous movies based on books. A number of book-to-film adaptations are successful, winning Oscars and becoming cult classics, while others flop at the box office and are quickly forgotten. However, perhaps the biggest criticism comes from the authors themselves. Turns out there's plenty of authors who hated the Hollywood adaptations of their work. Acclaimed author James Ellroy has kept relatively quiet about the star-studded 1997 film adaptation of his novel 'L.A. Confidential' for more than two decades. The movie, directed by Curtis Hanson, starred Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger as the leads, along with Kevin Spacey, Guy Pearce, and James Cromwell. It was both a commercial and critical success, receiving nine Oscar nominations that year. Ellroy wasn't convinced, however. He has shared some misgivings about the movie over the years, and when Hanson died in 2016, he wrote a tribute to him that both praised his craftsmanship and described the film as "problematic." Ellroy recently spoke at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on April 22, and this time, he didn't hold back. “I think it’s turkey of the highest form. I think Russell Crowe and Kim Basinger are impotent. The director died, so now I can disparage the movie," he said in conversation with fellow crime author Michael Connelly. In the past, he explained in more diplomatic terms that he and Hanson's dramatic senses were always at odds, even though he respected him as an artist. Take a look at this gallery and meet the other novelists who weren't particularly pleased with these film adaptations.
