That's ok JV

My choice would be "Toy Story 2" one of my favorite songs from it was Jesse's song. Its so sad and beautiful

Ooh, that's tough. Finding Nemo and The Incredibles tie for my favorite, but I really like the Cars one too.

Is the Cars soundtrack that good? If it is I really need to see the film

No contest Incredibles. Probably one of the best scores of the past ten years. Great action piece, would have been even better if Incredibles had more scary, intense scenes! Oh, well, maybe the sequel...

Runner up: Monsters Inc. LOVE that soundtrack. The very last scenes with Mike rebuilding the door for Sulley and when that music plays....a real tear-inducer!

(Also I love "If I didn't have you!" I think it won for Best Song.)

Also have to mention Finding Nemo...especially the opening music.
Also a tearjerker type of score!

Bug's Life is awesome too, plus it's my fave Pixar film. Love it!

About Cars....*sighs* Well, some of the pop/oldies songs are great, and "Real Gone" by Sheryl Crow is EXCELLENT (hope it gets a nom BTW)

But the Randy Newman stuff....is pretty dull. I have the score myself and it's pretty bland. It's not his fault though...it's the lame script and by and largely unsympathetic charcters...he did the best he could.

And "Our Town". Ummm....well, if you like syrapy, maudlin sentimentality, this one's for you!

It basically outlines the film's theme, of general boo-hoo no more.... small towns...or something.

Maybe if it had been more specific, like a "Lightening and Sally" or "Lightening and Mater" or "Lightening sees the error of his ways" type of song, it might have been better. But "Our Town"???? The audience is supposed to identify with a "Town"??? Only a Lassetter movie could actually have a song like this. It's like, imagine if Toy Story 2 hadn't been about Woody at all, but the whole thing was based on "Woody's Roundup" getting cancled because no one wants to see an old-fashioned cowboy show anymore, everyone is into "space toys" or more high-tech stuff. (And there was a song about it.) That's basically what Cars is. At least in Toy Story 2, they kind of poke fun at the "old stuff" which give it a lighter touch. In Cars, alas, it's as treacly as can be....

I dunno, I like the main theme that runs throughout the Cars score. Unfortunately, it's really the only theme that's repeated. Oh well... at least I like it. And there's a seriously impressive trumpet run in "The Piston Cup" along with a section that makes me spontaneously air-conduct.

As for the songs with lyrics... well, I've always preferred score over songs-with-words... though I do like "Real Gone."

My favorites...? Probably Bug's Life and the Incredibles. Which are also near the top of my favorites... I'd say THE top, but I have 3 Pixar movies up there and have extreme difficulty trying to rank those three against each other.

I also love Bugs Life's soundtrack, those songs are still stuck in my head, after all these years

But the town was their home. The song was about losing what you once had. In a way, it's about all the characters because of that. You identify with them. Not the town itself.
