Ranking The 10 Best Disney & Pixar Films Since 2000

There has been much talk of movies that have environmental themes to them in recent years, and though in reality Studio Ghibli probably got there first with films like Princess Mononoke, this was one of the first western animations to tackle the subject.

Set on a dying Earth with a plucky and idealistic garbage crusher called Wall-E, we just didn't know what we wanted until it was shown to us. Which was Steve Jobs' whole business ethos - more on Apple in a moment.

Wall-E is a romantic fairytale across the stars as Wall-E chases after Eve, a spotless all-action bio-scanner. It feels like a romance directly from '50s Hollywood but looks like something else entirely, the dichotomy of which makes for something very special.

Visually it remains stunning to this day and the character designs were helped by teams from Microsoft and Apple, with Wall-E being the former and Eve the latter.

An RT score of 95% and a box-office total of $533 million against a production budget of $180 million, Wall-E is now regarded as one of the best and most innovative animated films of all time. The simple truth is that by film's end, we all loved Wall-E immeasurably.
