 In an old post from 2008, I was getting excited about the upcoming Pixar movies.... 16 years later, here's an update 2008 - Wall-ee -> Saw it, and it was brilliant, still one of my favorite movies. 2009 - Up -> Saw it, very good. 2010? - Toy Story 3 -> Saw it, probably the weakest of the trilogy,   Those two actually appear in theater in a different order 2011 - Newt and The Bear and the Bow -> In 2012, Renamed finally Brave , another brilliant entry. 2012 - Cars 2 -> in 2011, Good but not as good as the first one.
