This weekend saw the release of Inside Out, hailed by critics as perhaps the greatest Pixar film to date - a claim no one makes lightly. This is, after all, the studio that brought us Toy Story. The charming Wall-E. The ultimately harrowing Up. Even the less distinguished among its 15 movies so far have struck some type of emotional chord - even Cars 2. It's this aspect of their movies that make Pixar so unique. No matter how fantastical its narratives and characters, whether they're lone robots roaming a dystopian earth, a family of dysfunctional superheroes or an estranged fish, Pixar movies' trademark is unlikely realness: exploring universal fears and ordinary emotions in extraordinary stories.

They may operate under the guise of “children’s films” but Pixar movies are arguably even more potent for adult viewers: bridging the gap between our adult and child selves, reminding us that vulnerability is fine and that we don’t have to be so cynical. But which is the best? Here's our film-by-film guide to their mighty canon so far, ranked from least-great to greatest.
