Ever since “Toy Story” was released in 1995, Pixar has become the gold standard in digital animation in film. In the intervening 20-plus years, the studio’s films have included some of the most iconic animated films in history, and several of them have become box-office blockbusters that please audiences of all ages. Now, as the studio quickly approaches its 30th anniversary, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to decide: what IS the Best Pixar Film of all time?

Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Amy Pilott, and Andrea Guerrero discussed and debated the top Pixar films (as decided by GPCD listener poll) released as of mid-2023, from “Toy Story” up through “Elemental.”
