Oscars: Ranking Every Best Animated Feature Film
4. Toy Story 3
Though Toy Story 4 is brilliant in its own right, Toy Story 3 is a far superior film, and one of the Oscar's most worthy victors. With its win, you can't help but think the Academy was honouring the whole franchise up to that point, and finding yourself incredibly glad that they did.
Featuring the hilarious character interactions, spotless voice work and expert worldbuilding of its predecessors, Toy Story 3 has all the hallmarks of the franchise's earlier instalments, but ups the emotion and drama with a story about Woody et al coming to terms with Andy moving away from them.
A tearjerker through-and-through, the threequel is blindingly funny but also a quietly heartbreaking assessment of moving on and growing that's devastating no matter how many times you watch it. This is Pixar at their very best, and remains one of their most deserved wins to date.
