Animation/Comedy

Toy Story

1995Dir. John Lasseter

A cowboy toy is profoundly threatened and jealous when a new spaceman toy supplants him as top toy in a boy's room — launching Pixar's first feature and CGI animation as we know it.

Animation/Adventure

Finding Nemo

2003Dir. Andrew Stanton

A clownfish sets out on a dangerous journey across the ocean to rescue his son, who has been captured by a scuba diver.

Our Verdict

Toy Story wins on historical significance — it invented modern animated filmmaking. Finding Nemo wins on emotional depth and visual beauty — the ocean world is still stunning and the father-son story hits harder for adult viewers. Both are undisputed Pixar masterworks. Watch Toy Story first; watch Finding Nemo when you need a good cry.
