Top 10 Best Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios Movies of the 2010s

These days, it’s hard to differentiate Walt Disney Animation Studios from Pixar. They both practically come out with the same types of movies now. Which is most noticeable in the 2010s. However, they still come out with good films. So let’s discuss the best Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios movies of the 2010s.
The Top Ten
1 Zootopia

This just looks overhyped to me. I might try to give this a chance, but to me, the jokes in the trailers just didn't make me laugh, I heard there's some political messages in here which turn me off as I don't like those discussions, some of the dialogue sounds cringeworthy (that whole "cute" thing/allegory doesn't work as "cute" is not a disgusting word), Zootopia, the place itself just looks so generic that no character, landscape or anything stands out compared to other Disney films I've seen, and I feel the only reason this was done was because, well...furry movie.

I've heard "Try Everything" also, and no sir, I don't like it.

I respond, why do so many people HATE the movie because it has a good political message? A good political message should be a POSITIVE for a film but everyone wants to make that a negative for whatever reason. Like, what's the problem with being positive? Do you think it's cheesy? Does it not affect you or your life (which it should)?

I really cannot choose between a lot of these to be honest. You are so right when you say that it's hard to differentiate Pixar and Walt Disney Animation these days as they are making movies of same amazing quality now!

Why do people love this movie just because of the message? Don't get me wrong, it's an enjoyable movie, but a message does not make a movie good or bad! I mean why else is Emoji Movie super hated?

2 Wreck-It Ralph

I actually had more hope for the second one after the trailer. This is because they actually made the internet look like an interesting place what with all the detailed CG designs. Some jokes in the trailer were pretty funny too. I'm not expecting it to be better than the first one though, because Wreck it Ralph is so good.

Last week, a teaser trailer for Wreck-it Ralph 2 was released. Considering Disney never releases good teaser trailers, I don’t know why people are complaining about this one. I’m still kind of excited for it. Especially since the first one is so good. The video game references are very clever. The characters are very likeable. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it is. It’s not a movie that just focuses on video game references. It actually has a lot of heart to it. Ralph is a bad guy in a video game but is actually a nice guy outside of it. Given his relationship with Vanellope. He really cares about her and wants to protect her. Wreck-it Ralph is amazing.

Thank GOD that the arrival of the sequel has been drawing more attention to the original. It definitely deserves it.

This needs to be above that putrid preachy furry movie. And the sequel needs to be off this list completely.

3 Toy Story 3

This movie and the second one proves that Disney does know how to make good sequels. This should be number one

Man I love toy story so much. I do think some elements of TS3 rehash the second, but the third act of this movie is so touching!

It was ok, at least it was really emotional, but the second one is still my favourite.

Masterpiece

4 Inside Out

My all-time favorite Pixar film and my favorite film in general. And I had to really think hard about that. I had to go over all the other movies I love such as Forrest Gump, Rocky, Pulp Fiction, etc. and Inside Out stands above everything else in terms of my favorite movies ever. In my opinion, it has the best screenplay from any animated movie in history. I just love it so much.

Beautiful movie. If you lost faith in Pixar after Cars 2, then you should probably watch this one and Coco. Seriously Pixar is amazing at what they do.

This was amazing, and probably the best Pixar film next to the Incredibles and the Toy Story trilogy, and the best film of 2015 in my opinion.

Needs to be above the mess of pop culture and SJW propaganda that's unfortunately number 1

5 Coco

This movie really struck a chord with me. It's beautifully executed and I could totally count on Pixar to make me cry a little bit at fictional characters' loss. Instant masterpiece like a lot of movies on this list.

I guess the Lopezes have a curse put on them that everyone hates their songs despite how amazing, touching, and beautiful they are.

The Oscar-winning animated film Coco. I’m so glad that it won. It was easily the best choice. In fact, it won two Oscars. It also won for Best Original Song. Remember Me is indeed a great song. But from reading people’s reactions on Twitter, it seems as though people hate that song. Probably judging it by the performance which was admittedly terrible. Remember Me is far better than This is Me! By the way, Kristen Anderson Lopez actually liked one of my tweets recently. I was surprised by that. The songwriters for Remember Me also wrote the songs for Frozen. Which everyone hates. I feel like that’s another reason why they didn’t want it to win. Anyway, Coco is one of Pixar’s best movies. Very gorgeous, very heartwarming, and very emotional. Lee Unkrich is a genius. He definitely knows what he’s doing. Very great movie.

Brought tears to my eyes

6 Big Hero 6

Big Hero 6 is an amazing film with great action, great characters, and great heartfelt moments. Who doesn’t love Baymax? I feel like it’s impossible to hate him. This movie is basically a Marvel film as it is based on a Marvel comic. Even Stan Lee makes a cameo. I was so close to meeting Stan Lee last year at Comic-Con. At least I can say I got to see him in person. Twice even. At D23 and Comic-Con. It will be sad when we lose him. Big Hero 6 is not only a great action film, but it also has some pretty emotional moments. Like Hiro losing his brother and then losing Baymax. I predicted these things would happen, but the way the scenes are executed is what makes them impactful. Oh yeah, and Big Hero 6 is gonna be in Kingdom Hearts 3. Which they still haven’t announced a release date for. Hopefully they will announce it at E3.

I like this movie a lot, my only huge complaint was that the side characters weren't very interesting, but we can count on Baymax and Hiro to make this movie interesting and fun.

When I first saw the movie I was so amazed that it easly beacame one of my favourite animated movies of all time (it still is).

7 Tangled

I've noticed how each Disney film in the Revival era gives me similar vibes in terms of its tone and mood to a movie that came out in the Renaissance. Frozen gives me Beauty and the Beast/Lion King vibes. Moana gives me a similar feeling that Aladdin does. And Tangled (I know a lot of you guys hate this movie) reminds me a lot of The Little Mermaid's tone. I just want to put that out there and see if you guys feel similar about how the more modern films compare to the films released in the 80s and 90s. By the way, I think Tangled is really good. Just to put it out there.

Why is this movie called Tangled? Her hair doesn’t get tangled once during the movie. Tangled is the very first Disney princess film to be entirely CGI. Again, there’s a difference between CGI and 2D animation. I feel like that’s something I’m gonna keep complaining about. Best part about this film is Zachary Levi as Eugene. This is Levi’s first of three Disney movies. And his only good one. I enjoyed his character the most. So funny and gives the best lines. Mandy Moore I thought was just okay. I feel like she does a lot better in the series than she does here. Rapunzel is a very well written character though. Easily one of the best Disney princesses.

8 Frozen

I think Frozen is better than Tangled and Moana for two major reasons. The first is that while Frozen does fall back on a lot of common cliches, it manages to subvert a lot of them such as the "true love saves the day" and "I got married to someone I just met" tropes. While Tangled and Moana certainly do the same (Flynn wondering why everyone is singing all of a sudden and Maui saying "You wear a pretty dress. You have a cute animal sidekick. You're a princess"), they seem much more willing to follow a similar formula to movies in the past while Frozen seems much more willing to switch it up. The second reason is that the characters in Frozen all seem like more realistic people than the characters in Tangled and Moana. And don't get me wrong, I like Rapunzel, Flynn, Moana, and Maui as characters, but they seem to be playing sort of a similar role model character. Frozen's characters are much more weird and awkward and talk more how people in the real world talk The characters of ...more

It's funny because I used to be one of those airheads who hated this movie because it was popular back 3 years ago. I don't think it's the most amazing movie (I'm not huge on princess movies like other people but still like them) but you cannot deny it has some beautiful animation and fun songs. The villain kind of sucked but honestly most Disney movies in this time period don't have amazing villains.

In my previous list, I ranted about how Anna and Hans are not a couple despite people claiming that they are. Anyone who thinks that they are a couple clearly didn’t watch the movie. Frozen is indeed a great movie that everyone loves to hate. It’s gotten so popular to the point where people call it the worst movie ever. Just like the newer Star Wars films. Frozen isn’t overly cliché. It does have tropes that can be found in other Disney movies, but it still manages to take risks. I also really like the songs. Jennifer Lee did a good job. She also worked on A Wrinkle in Time which has been getting negative reviews. I’m seeing it this Saturday. Hopefully I’ll like it. Frozen definitely is a great movie. It’s too bad Olaf’s Frozen Adventure is so terrible.

9 Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh rocks!

Oh hell no. Bit of a rant, but I would like to say I'm a big Winnie the Pooh fan, but this movie was TERRIBLE. If anyone else likes it fine, and I respect your thoughts but in my opinion, almost everyone except Christopher Robin and maybe Eeyore were out of character (they changed some of the personalities of them, exaggerated their character flaws, and there were scenes of them being nasty to each other when that isn't the case in the Pooh stories), the story was unoriginal (rip-off of Pooh's Grand Adventure), it doesn't seem to know whether it's a sequel or reboot (I say the latter as it was implied the previous films took place in America but Christopher has a British uniform and sounds younger), the animation I feel was only mediocre because it relied on cheap slapstick more fitting to Looney Tunes or Three Stooges that does not fit in here, and go against the spirit of the Disney films and Milne books (when Disney did gags back then they still managed to keep the spirit, didn't ...more

10 Moana

Moana is a really good movie. I don't think that it's amazing, but it still is entertaining enough for me to really like it. Moana as a character is very likable, Maui has a lot of good lines (and he's voiced by The Rock, name one person who doesn't like The Rock), and the animation is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It just feels a little too cliché at point in my opinion. The daughter of a leader who wants more with her life, a fearless warrior going out on their own, a pointless animal comic relief, the third act breakup/low point, and a lot more Disney elements we've seen before. But still, Moana is just a good movie plain and simple. But that Twitter joke is terrible. That and the "WHAT ARE THOSE?! " reference in Black Panther have to be the two worst lines in otherwise great movies.

It's the best, I do not know why in world this movie is ranked number 12. it should be number 1. plus Zootopia is kinda stupid.

It's a bit overhyped but I absolutely cannot say I didn't enjoy it. My mom loved it

I live this movie! I’ve seen it like a million times but it never gets old. If u ask me, this should be at least second place, only because I love zootopia too. Its actually my favorite movie. It shows that Moana doesn't need a man

The Contenders
11 Cars 3

This is way better than that overrated Frozen.

12 Finding Dory

It wasn't as great as the original, but it was still a good movie.

Vote Dory Vote Dory

To be honest, this was WAY more interesting and fun than the original. The original wasn’t bad, but it was boring

13 Monsters University
14 Cars 2

Just beaucuse a movie is different doesn't make it bad! I gotta say it was quite thrilling and I loved the villians for some reason (Acer and Grem). I didn't even find Mater annoying in the slightest.

Underrated in my opinion...

15 Brave

People consider this to be one of Pixar's weaker films. I disagree with that, I was obsessed when it came out

16 Ralph Breaks the Internet
17 Toy Story 4
18 The Good Dinosaur
19 Incredibles 2
20 Frozen II
