Wall-e is my personal favorite

Wall-E may be my favorite too (though I really love Nemo). The top of my Pixar list is very cluttered.

Also, I do agree that the villain in Up was fairly weak, but the movie is incredible. Also, everyone always talks about how sad the opening montage is, but I disagree. I guess it's a little bit sad that they never made it to Paradise Falls, but overall it makes me happy to see two people fall in love and spend pretty much the rest of their lives together. That's a great thing IMO.

But I agree that the whole montage scene is beautiful. Kinda like "When She Loved Me: from Toy Story 2. Pixar is just fantastic.

Aside from Syndrome and Lotso, Pixar hasn't really made many good villains. The standard Pixar film usually brings up the main antagonist near the very beginning of the story, and then they drop him for about half the movie in order to develop the struggle of our protagonist, which pretty much has nothing to do with the antagonist. Once we meet the villain, the hero then overcomes his failures and is then ready to take out. The villain. Pixar films are typically man vs himself or man vs nature rather than man vs man.

rationally speaking, yea it shouldn't be sad. That's life. They got to spend a long life together, in love. And that's so beautiful and wonderful

But the irrational side of us hates finality and seeing their lives from beginning to the end is sad. It's real. We prefer "happy ever after" where we can just assume characters live in happiness for ever and ever and ever
