9. Brave
The most recent release in the PIXAR catalog, Brave was also another surprise for fans and movie-goers. Now keep in mind, it's not that I expect PIXAR to fail with any release, but with Brave they had created their first film that centered around a lead female character. And also up to this point all of their films had centered on male leads with females as supporters, and this film was also following the disappointing Cars 2 from 2011. To my surprise and joy, PIXAR hit this one out of the park, giving us their first take on the special mother-daughter bond, and also restoring our faith in the PIXAR brand. Brave was also one of the most beautiful films PIXAR has created, on par with the greats like WALL-E and Up.
