It’s probably a little unfair to lump multiple directors together like this, but the over-riding factor here is the Pixar name and animation. Pixar is the best in the animation business right now, with a great mix of wonderful story-telling, top-notch animation, and great family messages. John Lasseter runs the show and seems to be getting the most out of every member of the team. Brad Bird, who helmed the very nice, non-Pixar animated film The Iron Giant (1999), has become a go-to director for the studio in the last few years.

I've rated the films from a zero (horrible!) to four (wonderful!) star scale, with the links going to my reviews. As usual, I've only included films I've seen.
