You've never seen Monsters, Inc?? But it's wonderful! Just for the big set piece at the end with all the doors ALONE it's worth seeing.
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I love The Incredibles in spite of the Randism. The production design, the characters, the pacing, Edna Mode, all pitch perfect. It's like what a Connery-era Bond film ought to have looked like.
eta: And I think that Bird wasn't overtly trying to be political; I read the film as Bird's (over) reaction to being screwed over by the bean-counters at Warner.

(And anyone who doesn't put Finding Nemo at the top of their Pixar lists is either (a) crazy with wrongness or (b) has already seen WALL-E and must therefore be shunned. I mean, REALLY.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Mine (I think, for right this minute) (eta: omnibus list, not just Pixar, obviously):
Lilo and Stitch
Spirited Away
Chicken Run
The Iron Giant
Howl's Moving Castle
Triplets of Belleville
The Incredibles
Toy Story 2
Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the WereRabbit
The Emperor's New Groove
The Corpse Bride
A Bug's Life
Toy Story (would be rated higher, but killed by 9 billion repeated viewings for every kidsitting expedition between its date of release and 2004, when I retired from sitting for children not related to me)
Ice Age & Ice Age 2(big drop here)
Madagascar (another big drop)
Cars (just below Madagascar -- had it been a period my-summer-in-Europe romantic comedy about a Harley and a flock of Vespa scooters, it'd be much higher on my list)
Have not seen:
Kung Fu Panda
James and the Giant Peach
Finding Nemo
Monsters, Inc.
Ratatouille

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Incredibles/Monsters, Inc tied for first
A Bug's Life
Toy Story 2
Toy Story
Cars.
I have not seen Finding Nemo all the way through despite owning it and Emeline knowing it by heart.
Then again, I love animated films and I make it a point to not look for nefarious messages hidden or to ignore the blatant one because it truly detracts from my personal enjoyment of the flick.

Hells to the yeah. I love Emperor's New Groove for this alone.

I know. I need to remedy this.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
I think it would be this:
Finding Nemo
Toy Story 2
Toy Story
Ratatouille
The Incredibles
Cars
A Bug's Life
Monsters, Inc.
The setting of Ratatouille leads me to place it higher than I probably would otherwise.
I don't think I've seen a lot of non-Pixar.

Emperor's New Groove is made of win.

We just saw Emperor a few months ago. I need to watch it again. I loved it to bits.
Lilo and Stitch is still a favorite among animated films.
