173 – Top 5 Pixar Movies

It is another CROSSOVER special in today’s episode of Ranked! If you don’t already know the Disney Dummies went on a mission to watch every single Disney Animated Feature in chronological order, discuss them at length, argue about the merits of the movie, shared fun facts, talked about which characters had f*ck energy, and so much more.

Flash forward again to present day where they have ALSO caught up to Pixar as well and the time again is now to make a definitive list of which movies are the best! So join the Pixar Pals (Tuong La, Laura Gordon, Samantha Leggatt, and Brad Sales) as they get those snakes outta their boots and rank Top 5 Pixar Movies!

The thing that is missing from real life robots is the charm, wonder, and several degrees of separation from our reality that come with fictional machines! So join Tuong and Constant Struggle Podcast/Improv Niagara’s Brie Watson, Nick Watson, and Aaron Boyd as they compute themselves a Top 5 Fictional Robots list!
