Pixar Animation Studios is by far one of the greatest storytelling studios to have ever existed. It's the pioneers of 3D animation as well as the king of telling stories that appeal to the whole family. Toy Story brought together kids who love toys and the adults who reminisced about when they played with toys themselves. Remember in Toy Story 3 when Andy was giving away his toys? Tearjerker.
What Pixar also gets right in almost all its films is the unique characters. From Lightning McQueen and Mater to Wall-e and Eve. Joy and Sadness to Mike and Sully. The duos are its bread and butter, but even the supporting characters bring some flare in what they have to say as well. Check out the best quotes that Pixar created for us.

6 If You Ain’t Scared Of A Croc Biting You In The Face, You Ain’t Alive. – The Good Dinosaur
