Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
While it obviously doesn’t have the novelty of the original, it builds on its gorgeous world in clever and creative ways.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
Though thematically darker than the famous Disney version, it is an inspiring family adventure that del Toro has certainly made his own.

Lightyear
While it is difficult to believe that people were clamoring for a Buzz Lightyear origin story, the one we’ve gotten is actually pretty good.

Bubble
The resulting story is a strange mix of fantasy/action/romance, with good action and spectacular visuals that cover for its flaws.

Turning Red
Turning Red may not quite be top shelf Pixar, but it is a pretty good example of what they do better than everybody else.

Flee
The animation never becomes a distraction or softens this harrowing tale. The result feels like the perfect way to tell this moving tale.

Luca
While it certainly belongs on the lower end of the studio’s filmography, it is still amusing and generally enjoyable.

Soul
Soul uses some of the themes Pixar has dealt with before, but plays them using different notes; creating something that feels new.

Onward
The premise of Onward makes it sound like a routine family movie. However, Pixar, as usual, spins it into something different.
