Out of all the Pixar movies which have been released, which one is the most popular? I created a tournament to see what my readers would have to say about that. And after some pretty tough battles and a couple of surprises (like Wall-e losing out early on and Monsters Inc. and Up not making it further), it all came down to two solid films: Toy Story and Finding Nemo.
So the winner of the Pixar movie tournament is…
Toy Story!
Even over 10 years after it’s release, Toy Story has continued to be a well loved favorite. I find it interesting that the very first Pixar film is the one that is the most popular. You would think that improvements through the year would have made even stronger, more popular films – but something about Toy Story just resonates with people. And it also goes to show just how much Pixar has had to live up to – they set some pretty high standards with their first feature length film! But I think they continue to deliver with the great movies they put out.
I hope you all had fun participating in this Pixar movie tournament with me! I’d love to do another tournament at some point, and I’ve also gotten a few suggestions – including princesses and Pixar shorts! Any other suggestions for what Disney things you’d like to see pitted against each other? (In the past we’ve also done animated movies and Disney restaurants).
No surprise here. As to another tournament, how about best Disney attractions?
That would definitely be a good one – and one that I’d be curious to see what would win!
Aw Toy Story was the center of my CHILDHOOD! This brings back memories.
Me too! I think I was about 7 or 8 when Toy Story came out, so I was definitely the perfect age for it.
Disney Princess would be a fun idea! I also agree with Debbie, attractions would be fun too!
I would love to get to both of those eventually!
I was wondering what the results were. Toy Story is the clear victor!
Yup, a solid choice!
I loved this tournament! Even though I was disappointed a few favorites didn’t make it very far, I have to agree that Toy Story is a pretty great movie. I think the nostalgia it brings with all the toys, and the story line is really great too.
Yeah, I mean there are so many great Pixar movies but it’s hard to argue that Toy Story isn’t excellent.
Yay! That’s exactly who I wanted to win! It’s just an awesome, very iconic movie.
You’re absolutely right, it is deserving of the win!
This was SO tough–there are so many amazing films here! Of the final two, I’d probably still pick Finding Nemo since I love all of the characters in it. Toy Story is pretty awesome, too, but it’s definitely second place in my book. 😀
I love them both but out of the two I’d pick Finding Nemo as well – I just really relate to Marlin and his constant worrying, so seeing him overcome that is powerful for me. Of course my personal top two would be Monsters Inc. and Inside Out.
This is really great. I think Toy Story is the best buddy movie ever made. I just love it so darn much.
It really does have a lot going for it – the relationship between Buzz and Woody is so perfect!
I guess I’m not surprised, Toy Story (all though not my favourite) is the ultimate Pixar movie 🙂

I agree! I’m not terribly surprised either.
Toy Story is a classic! Not surprised – even thought I thought Finding Nemo would win. This was such a fun series!
It was definitely interesting to see how people voted!
