Movies you had no idea were based on Shakespeare plays

We all know William Shakespeare is the king of literature and the stage, but what many don't know is that his genius even reaches the far corners of modern cinema. As someone who crafted story arcs and plot twists that have been studied for ages, it makes sense that filmmakers have drawn inspiration from his tales of love, comedy, and tragedy. And some have taken very questionable liberties with the material, too. Click through the following gallery to see the rom-coms, dramas, musicals, and sci-fi adventures that based their stories on the Bard of Avon's work.

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.)
