almost my entire life, I've been watching animated movies. especially Pixar. Pixar, to me, is one of the most recognizable industries in the movie scene with great movies like Toy Story, and not so great movies like Cars 2. As the holidays approach, I decided that I'd make a top ten list. let me know in the comments if you enjoy this top ten list and I will make more. so here it is, the Top Ten Pixar Movies.
10. Cars
This movie was put at number ten because of the fact that as great as it is, it isn't as well known for its movie aspects rather then its merchandise as the other ones on this list in my opinion. However, when it first came out 2006 I was amazed by how everything looked like a cartoon but acted like real life. A lot of Pixar films integrate real life scenarios, but this one included a scenario that not everybody goes through at least publicly. So it was great to see it play out in a way that we could relate.
9. Up
One thing I want to put out there, is that the way that Carl Fredricksen acts in the beginning of Up reminds me of my grandpa. He loves to cause arguments over little things just because he can. That's kind of how Carl is in the movie, nitpicking at every little thing Russel does. I guess that's what puts this movie at number 9. The jokes made in this movie by Carl towards the other characters is enough to make most anyone giggle.
8.Ratatouille
The first Pixar movie to include mainly humans as the cast, this movie is has a relaxing feeling to it. I don'd know if its the fact that the movie takes place in Paris or what, but whenever I watch this movie, I don't feel excited, but in a good way. It doesn't make me feel as if everything is going to happen at once. This movie is very paced in the story.
7.Monsters University
I actually had the opportunity to see this movie in theaters and it was an awesome movie. The story has some hilarious moments as well as some heartfelt moments. What I like most about this movie is that the events of this movie lead to the events of Monsters Inc. It tells of how they got jobs at Monsters Incorporated as well as how they become friends.
6. Brave
This movie to me has it all. Jokes, beautiful animation, and an excellent story. The best part is is that the story isn't as typical as other Pixar movies in that is has a strong female character. Not only that, but it includes folk lore from Irish origins. It's very beautifully made and the second movie by Pixar to mostly include human characters and one that I believe will be enjoyed for a long time to come.
5. The Incredibles
Who doesn't enjoy a good superhero movie every now and then? What about an entire family of superheros? This movie is action packed compared to the other movies. The whole movie includes not necessarily fight scenes, but there is a lot of action. This is also one of the few Pixar movies that will keep you on edge.
4. Monsters Inc.
I don't think I've ever thought there were monsters in my closet or under my bed. But this movie shows us that there could indeed be monsters in our closet. But not all of them bad. It's a very sweet movie that has the perfect ending and shows us that not everyone is a jerk. This movie gets this spot in the top ten list because families can watch it together countless times.
3. WALL-E
This movie conveys its message in a different way than most movies in general. Throughout the entire first half of the movie, WALL-E and EVA spend time together without saying a word, save for the occasional boop and beep here and there or a few words. What makes this movie amazing is the fact that not having spoken words, makes this movie so much better because we are still able to understand the message behind the movie
2. Toy Story 3
The reason that this movie gets this spot is because of the fact that if you've watched all of the Toy Story movies, this one might have pulled your heart strings. this movie was very lovable because Andy is now going to collage and is leaving his toys behind while his toys aren't quite ready to part. I love this movie because these toys will do anything to be with their dear Andy.
1. Toy Story
This movie is my ultimate favorite when it comes to animated movies. This movie is the first Pixar Movie that was made but it wasn't always expected to do as well as it did. In fact it was expected to fail. When this movie was sold out on its premier, the company was astounded. The audience had never seen anything like this before but once they did, they wanted more. So its no surprise that this amazing movie made number one on the Top Ten Pixar Movies.
Well there you have it. Now before you get upset about certain movies being at certain numbers, I just want to say that this is my personal opinion on the best and worst Pixar movies. Anyway, I hope you have a happy holiday! Again, if you enjoyed this Top Ten let me know and I will do more! I'd enjoy the feedback. Thanks for reading!

Valve Can Count to Three
I've played a few of Valve's games including, the Left 4 Dead series and Portal 2. Although I haven't played any of the Half-Life games, I know that they are among the more famous games of the series. For those of you who don't know, the game primarily centers around Gordon Freeman who you play as in a first person point of view in a world where an alien-virus-thingy has infected most everyone. Something like that. Like I said. I haven't played it, but I do plan on playing it when I can. Now, as you might already know, a Half-Life 3 has been confirmed, no joke. There isn't a release date yet or any other details except that the program that Valve is using is designed to keep anyone who isn't currently working on the game from seeing any aspect of it. Also there have been rumors of a Left 4 Dead 3 and possibly another Portal game, not necessarily a Portal 3, though. These rumors sparked when an email containing folders labeled with these names were leaked. It was later confirmed by a developer from Valve that the email was real and that they are discussing making these games. I guess we will have to wait and see. Post in the comments below what your favorite Valve game is and have a great day!
