10 best Pixar movies, ranked
There are no truly bad Pixar movies. I'll stand by that assessment even when presented with some of the Disney-owned animation studio's weakest efforts ('The Good Dinosaur,' 'Lightyear,' the 'Cars' sequels). Not every Pixar movie is great, but the level of detail, craftsmanship and feeling that goes into each production means that there's a baseline standard of quality to everything the studio releases. Plenty of Pixar movies actually are great, starting with their very first feature film nearly 30 years ago, 'Toy Story.' It's tough to narrow the list down to just 10, but these selections represent the best of Pixar and thus some of the best in all animated films over the past several decades. With Pixar's new movie 'Elio' hitting theaters on June 20, here are my picks for the studio's 10 best movies, ranked. The opening 10 minutes of 'Up' are often cited as one of Pixar's crowning achievements, but the rest of the movie is quite good, too. There's no denying the power of the early montage that charts the lifelong relationship between Carl and Ellie. That dialogue-free sequence comes after a more upbeat introduction of Carl and Ellie as kids, and the rest of the movie is similarly energetic. Carl (Ed Asner), now a crotchety old man, goes on an adventure to a hidden region of South America and befriends his eager young neighbor Russell (Jordan Nagai). It's obvious that the grumpy Carl will open his heart to friendship, but the journey is still creative and entertaining. Carl's house floats to South America powered by helium balloons, and his strange encounters show him the value of home. Watch on Disney Plus Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Just because Remy (Patton Oswalt) is a rat doesn't mean that he can't be a brilliant chef. That's the simple premise behind writer-director Brad Bird's lovely film about artistic integrity, in the form of a rodent with a masterfully refined palate. Remy stumbles into one of Paris' most renowned restaurants and finds a way to communicate with bumbling busboy Alfredo Linguini (Lou Romano), who channels Remy's talents and becomes a culinary sensation. The movie's visions of both Paris and gourmet dining are lush and inviting, and Remy is a likeable protagonist with a genuine love for cooking. Bird makes a larger point via the presence of ruthless food critic Anton Ego (Peter O'Toole), but the message of 'Ratatouille' never gets in the way of its engaging story and endearing characters. Pure artistry wins out, both in the restaurant and in the movie. Watch on Disney Plus One of Pixar's greatest strengths is presenting complex existential concepts in ways that will still captivate a young audience, and there's no concept thornier than death itself. Director and co-writer Pete Docter confronts that topic head-on by having his main character perish in an accident and end up in the afterlife. That's where jazz musician Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx) rebels against the order of things, refusing to move on and instead escaping to the realm of souls who have yet to be born, and later back to Earth, albeit in the wrong body. Docter offers up a meditation on mortality that's also a goofy buddy comedy between Joe and the stubborn unborn soul known as 22 (Tina Fey). The movie faces life's biggest questions with openness and charm. Watch on Disney Plus A celebration of Mexican culture and the Dia de los Muertos holiday, 'Coco' brings a welcome new perspective to the story of a young boy learning to appreciate the bonds of family. After unwittingly invoking a family curse, Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez) is transported to the underworld, where he must seek out the spirit of a legendary musician so that he can return to the land of the living. Miguel's musical ambitions are embodied in the Oscar-winning song 'Remember Me,' and he's easy to root for as he yearns to express himself in the same way as his musical idol, despite the objections of his family. The movie is fantastical but grounded in time-honored cultural traditions that it treats with respect. Miguel gains a greater understanding of his heritage, and the audience does, too. Watch on Disney Plus Perhaps the only children's movie ever made about the value of sadness, 'Inside Out' envisions a vibrant world within the mind of moody tween Riley (Kaitlyn Dias), where personifications of her emotions vie for prominence. The bubbly Joy (Amy Poehler) wants Riley to experience only happiness, but when she goes on a journey to restore Riley's core memories, she discovers that a range of emotions is necessary for a healthy internal life. That may sound like a therapy pamphlet, but director and co-writer Pete Docter makes it into a funny and thrilling adventure, with plenty of joy and sadness for the viewer to experience along with Riley. The message is all the more powerful thanks to the inventive and affecting presentation of familiar emotional milestones. Watch on Disney Plus Director and co-writer Domee Shi was inspired by her own childhood experiences in creating this exuberant movie about the awkwardness of adolescence, and that personal touch always shines through. Set in 2002 Toronto, 'Turning Red' embraces its specific time and place, with a substantial subplot about a dreamy boy band, and it also embraces main character Mei Lee's Chinese-Canadian identity. Mei (Rosalie Chang) has enough trouble dealing with puberty before she discovers that she's also inherited the family legacy of transforming into a giant red panda when experiencing heightened emotion. It's a blunt metaphor for the body changes that teenagers go through, but Shi takes a playful approach that keeps the movie from feeling heavy-handed. As mortified as Mei might be about what's happening to her, it doesn't stop her from asserting her own unique identity, no matter what her family or friends think. Watch on Disney Plus Produced at a time when superhero movies hadn't yet reached their current level of pop-culture saturation, writer-director Brad Bird's first Pixar movie remains one of the best and most clever deconstructions of the superhero genre, while working wonderfully as a superhero movie itself. The title characters are a superpowered family who've been legally prohibited from using their superpowers, but when a new villain threatens their city, they defy the restrictions and spring into action. Bird stages exciting action sequences that rival any live-action superhero movie, and he balances those with smart comedy and sweet family bonding. The message about individual exceptionalism elevates the concept of the superhero to a sort of philosophical ideal, which gives 'The Incredibles' a distinctive point of view that's lacking in most action blockbusters. It's a large-scale act of personal expression. Watch on Disney Plus There could probably be multiple 'Toy Story' movies on this list, but the second installment marks the high point for Pixar's signature franchise. This sequel takes the oddball crew of sentient toys on a bigger adventure, while further exploring the theme of what happens to childhood attachments when people grow up. Cowboy doll Woody (Tom Hanks) and action figure Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) are no longer at odds, and Buzz is determined to save Woody after he's accidentally sold to a greedy adult toy collector. The toys are still worried about being discarded as their owner, Andy, gets older, but they band together to rescue Woody so their makeshift community can remain intact. 'Toy Story 2' mixes a riveting, suspenseful rescue operation with melancholy reflections on the passage of time, improving and expanding on the first movie in a meaningful, rewarding way. Watch on Disney Plus One of the earliest indications of the emotional depths that Pixar movies could reach, writer-director Andrew Stanton's story about a neurotic clownfish's search for his missing son remains just as moving now as it was when it was first released. Marlin (Albert Brooks) panics when he realizes that his sheltered son Nemo (Alexander Gould) has gone missing, and he sets out on an oceanic odyssey to find his lost child. Marlin's love for Nemo is touching and honest, as is Nemo's love for his father, as both fish do everything they can to reunite. Despite the potentially heavy subject matter, 'Finding Nemo' is lively and joyous, with both father and son making new friends and exploring the world beyond their comfort zones. Sometimes the scariest experiences can lead to the most positive life changes. Watch on Disney Plus There may be no purer embodiment of the power of animation than conveying an entire rich, multifaceted story without any dialogue at all, and that's what Pixar's best film accomplishes. Director and co-writer Andrew Stanton takes both of the top spots on this list thanks to this gorgeous love story between two robots. On a post-apocalyptic Earth, the recycling bot known as WALL-E dutifully stacks the massive amounts of trash that humans have left behind. His routine is shaken up by the arrival of the sleek robot designated EVE, an emissary from the spaceship that contains what's left of humanity. The courtship between WALL-E and EVE plays out like a vintage silent film, and even when they end up on the human ship, their expressive dynamic remains at the center of the movie. It's a beautiful romance that anchors a fable about simple connection — with others and with the world around us. Watch on Disney Plus

Atsuko Okatsuka might be the most popular person in Atwater Village. Here are her favorite spots.
'You know the beginning of Beauty and the Beast? 'Oh, bonjour! Bonjour!' This is Glendale Boulevard for me.' Atsuko Okatsuka is barely exaggerating her Belle-like status. The Los Angeles stand-up stops to take a selfie with a fan, bumps into the set builder for her new special, checks in with the owners of her favorite shops and tries to decipher a barely-intelligible 'I love you' from some shrieking fans in a car—all in the span of about an hour in Atwater Village. For quite a few years now, this cluster of bakeries, thrift stores, bookshops and restaurants just across the L.A. River from Los Feliz and Silver Lake has been the stomping grounds for her and her husband, Ryan Harper Gray. 'I grew up in Japan where I got to do all of my business within steps of my home,' she laments about America's gotta-drive-everywhere culture. 'And so I try to keep things convenient, I just keep it on Glendale Boulevard.' We're meeting ahead of the then-upcoming release of Father, her new stand-up special that just hit Hulu on June 13. You've possibly seen Okatsuka's viral videos on Instagram and TikTok, often dancing with her grandma or killing it in a colorful outfit—or both. But her comedy routines transcend phone-sized screens—there's a reason she was in our 2019 class of L.A.'s 'comedians to watch' —as I was invited to see at one of the Father performances, taped last fall at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre (where she became the first female comedian to perform at the Disney-owned movie palace). I won't dare attempt to butcher her expertly-delivered bits on tandem bikes and laundry machines, but in short, expect to hear about her arrival in L.A. at age eight from Japan, the people-pleasing skills she picked up as a cheerleader at Venice High School, her dual daytime and nighttime personas, and just really enjoying sitting on the couch and being surrounded by ranch. On a sunny afternoon in Atwater, we start our neighborhood tour outside of Swan Day Spa, which Okatsuka relies on for her post-touring R&R. 'I have an issue: My shoulders are made out of rocks,' she says, as she contorts her back against the window of the storefront. 'It's virtually impossible to get the knots out of me.' But there's one person she trusts to fix them: Swan Day Spa masseuse May. 'I don't even know what she does, because honestly I fall asleep halfway through. All I know is that I'm a changed person by the end of it,' she says of May's customized massages. 'That's my girl—now, I like to think we're closer than we probably are.' (Okatsuka might be selling herself short here: While planning for our interview, I gave a heads up to all of the shops that we intending to visit, and everyone I spoke to just adores her.) 'Fun fact: This is where me and my husband came to celebrate after my husband got a vasectomy. Thank you, HomeState.' We keep venturing down Glendale Boulevard, past Holy Basil ('amazing Chinese Thai food' and a gluten-free favorite for her husband) and breakfast taco specialist HomeState, a staple in the couple's lives for over a decade. 'Fun fact: This is where me and my husband came to celebrate after my husband got a vasectomy. Thank you, HomeState,' she says out front. 'Snip snip,' Gray adds nonchalantly. He makes a stop inside Bill's Liquor while Okatsuka tells me that they must be there at least four times a week. 'Oh, there's an egg shortage?,' she asks. 'Tidbit: They sell eggs here, always stocked. You know why? Because nobody ever thinks a liquor store would have eggs. But Bill's does.' As Okatsuka admires the mannequins in the window of Out of the Closet ('Look at these beautiful creations. It's a museum, it's a work of art.'), we chat about her love of thrift store finds. And even in the middle of our tour, passersby take notice of her sharp fashion choices: 'Two people passed me and said 'that's such a fire fit.' Thank you so much.' In Father, Okatsuka laments not being able to grow her hair out because her bowl cut has become her brand. But she admits that's just faux frustration; people come to her shows wearing wigs of her bowl cut, and it's become a point of pride. 'Can Dora the Explorer change her look? Does Minnie Mouse stop wearing her red bow?' she asks. 'It's limiting in a 'ha ha' way, but I think it is very empowering. I feel finally seen, and I think in turn other people do too. Rock the thing that makes you feel you, you know?' We head into Vietnamese lunchtime favorite Indochine Vien ('Pho is life.') and stop across the street in front of what used to be Heartbeat House, where Okatsuka would teach dancehall dance fitness, a zumba-like workout class. But things changed after the pandemic: 'Everyone got into pilates, nobody wants to dance anymore. So now it's a butcher shop [McCall's]. They just sell meat. We were in there being sweaty pieces of meat, now they just sell pieces of meat to cook. That's life.' Thankfully, though, New Way Nails still holds strong a couple doors down, where Okatsuka gets her monthly creative fix via nail art. She shows off the sculpted hot dog on her fingernails—the handiwork of owner Roger—as we peruse the colorful wall of paint selections. 'They keep it cute: The pink vibes, the Hello Kitty on the menu,' she says. As we approach the southwestern edge of the boulevard's most walkable stretch, we wind down inside one of the newest storefronts—and maybe the one where you're most likely to find Okatsuka at night ('Rarely do people see me during the day. I'm very pale for a reason.'). Venture inside of Nico's, a bottle shop in the center of a strip mall, and you'll spot a staircase down to Baby Battista, a handsome, red-hued wine bar hideout in the basement that sports a small performance space with no more than a couple dozen chairs. 'Hello from underground somewhere in Atwater Village,' she says from the small stage down here. It's mid-day, so it's quiet and empty (and, thankfully, air conditioned after our on-foot tour during the tail-end of a heat wave). But by night, Okatsuka takes advantage of the low-pressure environment to often test out new material here. Our conversation veers into some of her other favorite clubs: She's a regular at the Comedy Store and Largo —two traditional markers of success in the L.A. comedy scene. 'When I got to start performing [at Largo] I was like, 'oh, cool, okay, I am L.A. now, I'm an Angeleno,' she says. 'Because all of my life I always was like, 'oh, maybe I'm here temporarily.' Twenty-seven years later I was still saying that, and I was like'—she then turns her attention to our walk through Atwater—'look at this, I did a whole tour of this street for you. I didn't know I had it in me. Turns out I know it like the back of my hand.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Atsuko Okatsuka (@atsukocomedy) But L.A. is still vast (she dares any out-of-towner to point to Pacoima on a map), and so too are her roots within it. She grew up on the Westside—in Father, she recalls growing up undocumented and rolling with her girl gang, her mom and grandma—and remembers visiting Hollywood and feeling like a tourist in her own city and unable to afford to see a movie at El Capitan. That's certainly not the case now, though: 'Years later, I get to perform in there and invite other people to enjoy it with me?' she muses. 'That's a really cool, full circle moment.'

Streaming overtakes cable and broadcast as the most-watched form of TV
A new king now reigns in TV land. Streaming has officially surpassed broadcast and cable as a share of total TV viewing, according to Nielsen data. In May, streaming accounted for 44.8% of viewership while broadcast (20.1%) and cable (24.1%) together represented 44.2% of overall tune-in. "While many have expected this milestone to have occurred sooner, sporting events, news and new-season content have kept broadcast and cable TV surprisingly resilient," said Brian Fuhrer, senior vices president at Nielsen, in a video for Nielsen's The Gauge monthly viewership report. "The trend, however, has been very consistent." While Netflix has boasted the most overall TV usage for four years straight, YouTube has now seen four-straight months of TV share increase, Nielsen said. The platform, owned by Google and its parent company Alphabet, boasted the highest share of TV consumption among all streamers in May, with a 12.5% share. Rounding out the top five were Netflix, Disney-owned platforms including ESPN and Hulu, Amazon's Prime Video, and the Roku Channel. The three largest so-called free, ad-supported services, or FAST channels — Paramount's Pluto TV, the Roku Channel and Fox's Tubi — combined for 5.7% of total TV viewing in May, more than any individual broadcast network. Streaming's overall share is likely to remain neck and neck with traditional TV viewership for some time before it eventually surpasses it permanently in the near future, Nielsen said.

Media personalities who faced consequences for problematic remarks, from Terry Moran to Don Lemon
ABC News dismissed veteran correspondent Terry Moran on Tuesday for violating network policies with an opinionated social media post, but he was hardly the first journalist to land in hot water over controversial rhetoric. While Moran's controversial comments came on X, other pundits have been suspended or worse for problematic on-air comments. News personalities have been scolded for everything from insensitive comments about women to shocking remarks about the Holocaust. Here are some of the more high-profile examples in recent memory: Terry Moran Out At Abc News Following X Post Attacking Trump, Stephen Miller The longtime ABC News correspondent was let go Tuesday over his now-deleted X post attacking President Donald Trump and top White House aide Stephen Miller. Moran, who had been with the network for 28 years, was shown the door just before his contract with the network was set to expire on Friday. He was initially suspended after ABC News executives woke up to the viral backlash that he caused by offering personal thoughts on Miller and Trump, who he interviewed in the Oval Office in April. Read On The Fox News App "The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism," Moran began his post. "Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile." "Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater," Moran wrote. "You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate." Moran also went on to call Trump a "world-class hater" in the post but added that "his hatred [is] only a means to an end, and that end [is] his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment." An ABC News insider told Fox News Digital that Moran was well-liked internally but the Disney-owned network was left with "no alternative" but to terminate him. Nbc News' Ben Collins Temporarily Banned From Covering Elon Musk On Air After Attacking Twitter Owner: Report The former NBC News reporter repeatedly and openly criticized Elon Musk and his handling of Twitter, raising questions about whether Collins could report impartially on the topic before he was temporarily banned from covering the billionaire in 2022. Collins, who covered "disinformation, extremism and the internet for NBC News," did not try to hide his left-wing political leanings, often firing off liberal missives on social media while a reporter. During his time at NBC, Collins regularly disparaged Musk's takeover of Twitter, now known as X. Collins once tweeted that Musk "is now learning the hard way what information researchers have known for decades: Everybody's pro-free speech. No s--t. Also, when you run a for-profit company, you will meet your line eventually." Collins once snarked, "Elon, have you ever considered that maybe people just disagree with you and you've been living in a particularly well-sealed bubble of money-chasing Yes Men until very recently?" Collins left NBC News and is now CEO of The Onion. In an interview last month with Vanity Fair, Collins said he was suspended for "being too mean to Elon Musk." "After that, I realized my time on this peacock is short. When I saw The Onion was for sale, I realized that maybe I didn't have to live my entire life in this doldrumescent hell. I started chasing this thing, and we really did save it from what we would now call AI death. Or the throes of a decabillionaire who is worried about white genocide," he said. Cnn Fires Don Lemon, Leaving Longtime Anchor 'Stunned' CNN fired Don Lemon in 2023 after the anchor caused constant headaches for network executives with his rhetoric. Lemon found himself in hot water two months before he was shown the door by saying Nikki Haley was past her "prime" at age 51, citing Google as his source while stunning his female co-anchors in the process. Lemon offered a mea culpa during the network's editorial call the next day, but female colleagues weren't pleased. Colleagues were further enraged when Lemon was spotted at Miami Beach after the insensitive remarks about Haley. Lemon was then ordered to take "formal training," but his time at the network was already coming to an end. Lemon's "prime" comments were universally panned and not just by conservatives, receiving mockery from Biden spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre during a White House briefing and even making its way to this year's Oscars ceremony. Best Actress winner Michelle Yeoh told women in Hollywood, "Don't let anybody tell you, you are ever past your prime." Those remarks were hardly the first time Lemon's on-air rhetoric sparked backlash among female viewers. In 2014, he infamously asked a Bill Cosby accuser why she didn't simply bite his penis to prevent an alleged rape. In 2022, he asked CNN analyst S.E. Cupp if she was suffering from "mommy brain" after she lost her train of thought during a panel discussion. Later that year, Lemon clashed with his female "CNN This Morning" co-hosts while arguing that male athletes make more money than women because "people are more interested in the men." During his time at CNN, Lemon also compared Trump supporters to Ku Klux Klan members, defended Antifa, and fumed over people unvaccinated against coronavirus "taking up the space" in hospitals, among other news-making moments. Whoopi Goldberg Suspended From 'The View' Following Holocaust Remarks Whoopi Goldberg was suspended in 2022 for controversial remarks about the Holocaust on ABC News' "The View." Goldberg, who differs from others because she is a talk show host as opposed to a true journalist, went viral when she argued that the Holocaust "isn't about race," stunning her colleagues at the table. "What is it about?" co-host Joy Behar asked. "It's about man's inhumanity to man, that's what it's about," Goldberg said. "But it's about a White supremacist going after Jews and Gypsies," guest co-host Ana Navarro said as Goldberg attempted to speak over her. "But these are two White groups of people," Goldberg said as her colleagues disagreed. Jewish groups condemned the comments, accusing Goldberg of minimizing Jewish suffering. She attempted to explain her remarks during her appearance on "The Late Show," suggesting she never meant to offend anyone. "I think of race as being something that I can see," Goldberg told Stephen Colbert. "You couldn't tell who was Jewish. They had to delve deeply to figure it out… My point is, they had to do the work," she continued. "I don't want to fake apologize… I'm very upset that people misunderstood what I was saying." ABC News suspended Goldberg for two weeks, saying she needed to take time to "reflect and learn about the impact of her comments." Behar also faced significant backlash for 2018 comments that mocked then-Vice President Mike Pence's Christian faith. "The View" panel first criticized Pence's faith when co-host Sunny Hostin said, "I don't know that I want my vice president, um — speaking in tongues and having Jesus speak to him." Behar chimed in, adding that hearing from Jesus is actually called "mental illness." She eventually apologized. Disney Boss Tells Shareholders That 'The View' Star Joy Behar Apologized For Anti-christian Remarks British journalist Martin Bashir left MSNBC in 2013 after sparking widespread controversy for suggesting that someone should defecate in former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's mouth. While he apologized the following week, the damage was done. Bashir initially took off two weeks for what was billed as a vacation, and MSNBC took heat for failing to act against him. He left the network upon his return after a meeting with then-MSNBC president Phil Griffin. "I have tendered my resignation. It is my sincere hope that all of my colleagues, at this special network, will be allowed to focus on the issues that matter without the distraction of myself or my ill-judged comments," Bashir said. "I deeply regret what was said, will endeavor to work hard at making constructive contributions in the future and will always have a deep appreciation for our viewers – who are the smartest, most compassionate and discerning of all television audiences." Fox News Digital's Hanna Panreck and Joseph A. Wulfsohn contributed to this report.

Jon Stewart slams ABC for firing Terry Moran over Stephen Miller rant
Comedian Jon Stewart ripped ABC as a 'f–kng joke' for firing Terry Moran over the veteran reporter's scathing social media rant against top White House aide Stephen Miller. 'The entire thing is because ABC clings to this facade that they somehow exist in a bubble,' Stewart said Thursday on his podcast 'The Weekly Show.' 'It's a joke. They're a f–king joke,' he added. Advertisement 3 Comedian Jon Stewart, who hosts 'The Daily Show' and his 'The Weekly Show' podcast, blasted the firing of Terry Moran. The Daily Show / YouTube ABC News axed Moran, 65, on Tuesday just two days after the reporter made a social media post blasting Miller as a 'world-class hater' who operates not on 'brains' but on 'bile.' 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew,' an ABC News spokesperson previously told The Post. His contract was due to expire Friday at the Disney-owned network, The Post previously reported. Advertisement When asked by a listener whether ABC News should have fired Moran, Stewart responded: 'Of course not. So stupid. No, for God's sakes.' 'They shouldn't have paid the $15 million, they shouldn't have fired him,' Stewart said. It was a jab at the network's multi-million dollar settlement with Trump last year over a defamation lawsuit against anchor George Stephanopoulos' inaccurate on-air claim that the president had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. Advertisement Trump was found liable for sexual assault and defamation against Carroll in two verdicts, not for rape. He has appealed both cases. 3 Veteran ABC News reporter Terry Moran. Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images 3 White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller speaks to members of the press at the White House in May. AP Moran, who worked at ABC News for 28 years, served as a senior correspondent at the network, where he covered the White House and co-anchored the late-night program 'Nightline.' In April, he landed a coveted interview with Trump. Advertisement He likely made between $600,000 to $900,000 a year, a source previously told The Post. Moran on Wednesday resurfaced his Substack account and vowed to get back to the 'important work' as an independent journalist. His firing came after The Post exclusively reported that ABC News staffers were calling for his head – angered that Moran's attack on Miller could set back progress the network made with the Trump administration in recent months.
