Toy Story
- Title: Toy Story
- IMDb: link
Re-released in theaters for the film’s 30th Anniversary, Toy Story was never the quintessential film for me that is is for some. While I certainly understand its importance to the company, and thoroughly enjoy the film, the animation is still rough in a couple places (most notably in the human characters) and it lacks the emotional impact to me that both Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 deliver. That said, it’s still a damn fine movie taking us into a world of what happens to a child’s toys once they leave the room.

Elio
- Title: Elio
- IMDb: link
For their latest, Pixar delivers a story about a young boy who has to be abducted by aliens to learn about friendship and family.

Eventually Elio gets his wish when his message to outer space is overheard and he finds himself among ambassadors of a federation of planets, so to speak, known as the Communiverse (a moniker that is as awkward spoken aloud as it looks in print).

Elemental
- Title: Elemental
- IMDb: link
Presented with less fanfare than any Pixar movie I can remember, Elemental answers the question of what a Disney version of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner would look like. Similar in many ways to Zootopia, Elemental offers an unusual city of characters, this time elemental beings of fire, water, cloud (air), and tree (earth), attempting to live together in peace with an undercurrent of racism and bigotry bubbling just below the surface.
