Ranking Pixar Movies

By Aydan Blomiley (2025)

The first three Toy Story movies capture an absolutely perfect journey and idea, that even with subpar animation in 1995, they were able to create an unforgettable original movie series that kids will love for years to come. And then they made a fourth movie. To be honest, I wish I had never watched this movie, because the first three were perfect and then they tried to do way too much, with Forky and Bunny getting way too much attention in the movie for the little use that they have. I don’t think Toy Story 4 truly deserves a F tier as a movie, but the fact that it was so much worse than the first three really does the damage for me. Same thing with the first two cars movies. They were really fun and entertaining, but then the third one kind of ruined it for me. That's why it gets such a bad rating. I think my favorite Pixar movie, other than Toy Story, has to be “A Bugs Life” Also not the best animation in this movie, but the story and character development is unbelievable, and it truly shows the message that everyone has a role in everything that they do. For some of the controversial takes on this list, I had “UP” and “The Incredibles” at the C tier which are both boring and not attention grabbing in my opinion. I think The Incredibles had potential, but a lot of what happens in the movie just doesn’t make sense. Now I do have to admit some of the dialogue is really good, but the action is just very subpar. 

 3. Bringing It All Back Home (1965)

Last Year I decided to listen to all of Bob Dylan’s albums, and though this is not one of his most popular, I couldn’t stop listening to it. The thing that is most appealing about this album for me, is the mix of folk, and a bit of electric. I was a huge fan of Dylan’s protest folk era with albums like “Freewheelin”, and “Times They Are A Changin” , and also a fan of when he goes fully electric in his album “Highway 61 Revisited” So this album for me a Dylans Peak combination of what he can do with songwriting, and writing about war and religion, and then the electric side of the album that is just so influential to a public eye in how talented Dylan was at this time. This is without a doubt Bob Dylan's Most diverse album. There is a song on this album that absolutely stuns me every time I hear it, and it is called “It's Alright Ma” which is about a kid in the 60s going through the political hardships of his time. The songwriting of this song is absolutely unreal. Then you go over to the electric side of the album, with Subterranean Homesick Blues, which is sometimes considered the first rap song in history, the rhyming of this album is unbelievable and a song that a lot of the young generation would probably enjoy. My favorite song on this album is “Hey Mr. Tambourine Man” which is a song about the magic of having a figure that is there for you, and a “metaphor of youthfulness” which can be described in this Article by Medium. I could listen to this album for the rest of my life, and I won’t get bored of it!

Fast Food Rankings

5 Guys = A   Panera = F

By Aydan Blomiley (2025)

In and Out is the epitome of what fast food should be. I’ve only been to In and Out once, but I’ve heard that it is the most consistent by far. In and out is only located on the west coast, I went to the one in Phoenix and got a double burger with a chocolate milkshake which was all really good. The thing that stands out to me the most is how nice all the workers were and how quick the food is. In and Out is not just fast food, but it is an experience, an S tier experience.

The A tiers you have very fresh modern fast food places such as Chipotle, Chick fil A and Shake shack. Five Guys is just an amazing burger, and a very solid shake. I think the fries are a little overrated but definitely the best fast food burger.

For the B Tiers, I really enjoy going to all these places, Moe’s was always a favorite growing up but it has gone way downhill. I think Popeye’s has the best chicken sandwich, but it isn’t really consistent. I want to put Culvers higher, but I've only been once and it was a doordash order, so it wasn’t how good it could've been.

In the C Tiers, you have a lot of the fast food pizza. Fast food pizza is never going to be higher than a C in my opinion, from someone who tries pizza all over the world, C tier fast food pizza is really good for fast food pizza. Raising Canes will make some people mad only being in C tier, but I think that it is heavily overrated, and it is a truly hit or miss fast food chain.

All the way down in D Tier, you have some popular global chains like Wendys, KFC, and a few southern chains like Zaxbys and Church’s. I don’t think any of these chains are good, and I don’t think they try very hard to be good, most of these chains are very cheap and just serve low quality food. I think Wendys can be C tier, but just based on what I had from them, I’m really not a fan. I think Panera is the worst on this list, and could possibly be F tier with how overpriced everything is, and how little portions you get.

Lastly, F tier, Mcdonalds, White Castle, Taco Bell. Sounds like the last resort of fast food to me. Always open, 2 people working, you will never get good food from most of these places, and it's hard to find good customer service at these places too. If we were doing Mcdonalds breakfast I might go D, but their burgers and chicken sandwiches are just unbearable in my opinion.
