Monsters University (2013)Ī wholly unnecessary follow up, Monsters University is Pixar’s first and only prequel (so far – Toy Story Chronicles: Woody’s Unboxing can’t be far off). Start a 7-day trial of Disney+ to watch 19. It’s almost certainly better than Cars 3. Though you need to cut through a lot of fat to get to the heart of Onward’s plot, it’s an enjoyable and funny watch that does what Pixar does best a movie with a tear-jerking message for both adults and children. Mix that with motorbike-riding pixies, a mystical pawn shop and a manticore restaurant owner and you have quite the visual feast. In a world where modern technology has become an easy alternative to magic, two polar opposite teen brothers need to come together and use a magical staff to resurrect their father for one day. Pixar’s latest animation is a tale of brotherly love and magical mayhem. This one has only just come out in cinemas so it’s not quite on Disney+ yet, and only one of us actually managed to see it before all the cinemas shut, but we’ve stuck it on the list out of a sense of completion – albeit probably in a falsely low position.
Start a 7-day trial of Disney+ to watch 20. So, maybe it’s time, like Lightning McQueen, to retire this franchise for good. Ironically, it’s also about a car past its prime. Cars 3 feels a lot more like the original Cars, throwing up questions like, "why is there a diner?" and "why do cars have to eat?", but most of all, it’s warm, sad, and has a strong message. But at least we’re back to Lightning McQueen being back in the limelight. This film didn’t need to exist after that catastrophe of a sequel, but Cars has now turned into such a large round money-making ball that it just has to keep going. Start a 7-day trial of Disney+ to watch 21. The spy plot is just plain dull and boring, and while the visuals are more stunning than the first, not even that can save this film. Tow Mater was a a slightly lovable cliche in Cars, but no one ever asked for an entire film about a character who’s just a walking stereotype. It’s a pile of old car scrap and highlights why making a goofy sidekick into the main character never pans out well. Pixar is rarely ever able to follow up a decent first film with a zinger of a sequel, and that’s so evident with Cars 2.
