In what has been a slow summer movie season thus far, Toy Story 3 looks like it is ready to break out. According to Rotten Tomatoes, 111 reviews have been counted so far – and all are positive. How does Pixar do it?

What happens when, perhaps if, Pixar ever releases a clunker?

In my mind, Cars was the worst Pixar film: too sentimental (regret over the loss of small-town life), dull characters.

The best? Wall-E had both strong characters and interesting commentary on the future. Up had a stunning opening sequence but got bogged down in the second half. The Incredibles was entertaining.
