Pixar consolidated its position in the animation market during the 2000s, releasing several box office and critical successes; remember them all!
Recognized as one of the largest animation studios in the world, Pixar consolidated its position in the market during the 2000s, when many of its biggest hits were released. Interestingly, the vast majority of animations produced before 2010 were also nominated for important awards, which explains why Pixar became what it is today.
With that in mind, remember all the films released by the studio during the 2000s!
Wall-E (2008)
Winner of the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2009, ‘WALL-E’ presents a moving story of love and environmental preservation, centered on the romance between two robots. The film is widely recognized as Pixar’s most visually impressive, due to the theme and the time in which it was released.
Finding Nemo (2003)
One of the causes for the popularity of clownfish to increase came with the release of ‘Finding Nemo’. Who wouldn’t be enchanted by a little orange, black and white fish after watching the animation? In the touching story, we follow one of Pixar’s most memorable father-son relationships, as Marlin travels across the ocean in search of Nemo, his only son, who was captured by a human.
Ratatouille (2007)
In theory, the premise of ‘Ratatouille’ may seem strange, as rats are generally seen as dirty animals that transmit diseases to humans. However, in the world of animation, anything is possible, including a mouse with a refined palate who dreams of spending his life cooking.
The Incredibles (2004)
Winner of two Oscar categories (Best Animated Feature and Best Sound Editing), ‘The Incredibles’ stood out as the only superhero film released by Pixar to date. Furthermore, Mr. Incredible and his family, with the villain Syndrome, won over the public to the point of getting a sequel more than ten years after the release of the first film.
Monsters, Inc. (2001)
In ‘Monsters Inc’, we follow friends Sullivan and Mike Wazowski, who work in a scare factory with the mission of collecting children’s screams to generate energy for Monstropolis, the city where they live. However, his goals change when Sullivan becomes attached to Boo, a little girl who was only supposed to be a target to scare.
Up – High Adventures (2009)
The flying house designed by Carl and Ellie in ‘Up’ earned Pixar two Oscar statuettes: one for Best Animated Feature and the other for Best Score. The moving story of an elderly man fulfilling his late wife’s dream turns into a great adventure alongside a young boy scout and a talking dog.
Cars (2006)
How likely is it that a movie about cars will impart profound lessons? That’s exactly what happens in ‘Cars’. In the story, we follow Lightning McQueen, a racing champion who, amidst the hustle and bustle, deviates from his route and ends up trapped in Radiator Springs, a forgotten little town on Route 66 that will teach him the true values of life.
