9. A Bug's Life
Because it's one of Disney's older efforts that isn't part of the Toy Story franchise, A Bug's Life can get overlooked when discussing Pixar's best movies, but the reality is, it's a timeless classic. A Bug's Life is full of vibrancy and colour and it solidified Pixar as a power to be reckoned with and that they weren't a one hit wonder after Toy Story. Its target audience is the youngest of all the Pixar movies, but the clever, excellently written story and some inspired casting (Kevin Spacey) makes it a pure delight. One of the best things A Bug's Life does is have these tiny characters exist in this huge world, and much like Toy Story and Finding Nemo, it integrates existentialism into proceedings and shows that's there's a difference between being small and acting small. A Bug's Life has an iconic and memorable set of characters, from the menacing Hopper to the hilarious Heimlich, with each having a definitive personality and sense of uniqueness. A Bug's Life is essentially Seven Samurai with insects (a very good thing), and unlike its rival Antz, it doesn't attempt to clumsily preach politics and is focused on entertaining its audience.
