Monsters University's New Logo: A Little Sophomoric
I know everyone's rankings of Pixar's best movies are all wrong except mine, but I hope we can agree that Monsters, Inc. clocks in near the top of the list. Keep your self-important WALL*E and your maudlin Finding Nemo; I think the imagination of Monsters, Inc (and that insane door world) bests them both. Now that you've agreed, let's observe the logo for the 2012 sequel Monsters University. It better be temporary.
Standard. There's plenty of time for it to improve before November 2012, but in the meantime it looks like a Halloween novelty tee at a state school gift shop. (Go Hawkeyes!) If this movie's going to exceed the imagination of the first movie, the logo should be reconsidered. I want this thing draped in graduation caps and ID lanyards and coeds. It's a little racy, but Pixar can never resist and opportunity to break ground. Do it, nerds!
UPDATE: Disney just pushed the film's release date back to June 21, 2013. Maybe you'll pay off your mortgage by then.

It hurts me to put Ratatouille and Bug's Life so low, cos I think they're both great films. Up and Wall-E are probably less consistent by comparison - but the good parts (first half of Wall-E, for instance) are absolutely brilliant. Loved the ending of TS3 but couldn't shake the feeling that it was kinda TS2, 2.
Monsters Inc I never really got into, though. I think largely it was the voice casting: it just sounded like Billy Crystal to me, and I never lost that consciousness.
And yeah. Cars was the only one I actually sighed at in the cinema. Halfway through, when the treacly ballad about how things used to be starts up, it's such a transparent grab at the equivalent TS2 moment, without any of the same force. It does Pixar's reputation an injustice.
Only because I've never done it before:
1) Finding Nemo
2) Toy Story
3) Up
4) Toy Story 2
5) Toy Story 3 (though actually 3-5 are basically interchangeable)
6) WALL*E
7) Ratatouille
8) The Incredibles (cuz the dad was a whiny ahole who almost got his family killed)
9) Cars
25) Monsters, Inc
101) A Bug's Life
And really I can't argue with anybody putting any of the Top Six at Number One. On the other hand I will argue with anybody who didn't put my bottom three in the bottom three. I actually found Cars to be better than expected, but Monsters, Inc had the worst jokes EVER. That crap wasn't funny on the vaudeville stage when they were first heard! And, seriously, It's Tough to Be a Bug is better than A Bug's Life. EATING BUGS is better than A Bug's Life!
