RANKED: Every Pixar movie from best to worst

Not since Walt Disney has there been a figure in the animation world who has transcended the medium like John Lasseter and the studio he oversees, Pixar.

Yes, Jeffrey Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation have had their time, but for over 20 years, Lasseter's Pixar has consistently not just put out box-office hits (the company has earned, to date, close to $10 billion worldwide) but created stories that affect us on an emotional level that we can't wait to experience again and again.

From the "you got a friend" tale of the "Toy Story" movies to a commentary on how we need to protect our planet in the multilayered "WALL-E," Pixar movies are much more than kids movies or cartoons. Which is exactly how ol' Walt went about it.

As we get ready for Pixar's latest, the sequel "Finding Dory" (out June 17), we've take on the gargantuan task of ranking all 16 Pixar releases - scroll down to find out the best.
