From "Toy Story" to the Academy-Award winning "Up," Pixar has turned out stellar animated entertainment year after year. With "Toy Story 3" opening this weekend, we've decided to take a look back at all the great Pixar movies -- and the most excellent quotes.
Buzz Lightyear: Right now, poised at the edge of the galaxy, Emperor Zurg has been secretly building a weapon with the destructive capacity to annihilate an entire planet! I alone have information that reveals this weapon's only weakness. And you, my friend, are responsible for delaying my rendezvous with Star Command!
Woody: [pauses and looks incredulous] YOU! ARE! A! TOYYYYY! You aren't the real Buzz Lightyear! You're — you're an action figure! You are a child's play thing!
Buzz: You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity. Farewell.
“You're right, Prospector. I can't stop Andy from growing up. But I wouldn't miss it for the world!” — Woody
“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more. — Anton Ego

“To infinity, and beyond!” — Buzz Lightyear

“There's nothing more toxic or deadly than a human child. A single touch could kill you! Leave a door open, and one can walk right into this factory. Right into the monster world!” — Henry J. Waternoose
“What if Andy gets another dinosaur? A mean one? I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection!” — Rex the Dinosaur
“You see Hopper, Nature has a certain order. The ants pick the food, the ants keep the food, and the grasshoppers leave!” — Princess Atta
“I'm packing your extra pair of shoes, and your angry eyes just in case.” — Mrs. Potato Head
[Mr. Potato Head watches hopefully as Andy open birthday presents]
“Mrs. Potato Head, Mrs. Potato Head, Mrs. Potato Head… hey, I can dream, can't I?”
“My name is Dug. I have just met you, and I love you. "
“Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner, forty-two losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast? Maybe I should have had breakfast? Brekkie could be good for me. No, no, no, focus. Speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick. I am Lightning.” — Lightning McQueen
Carl Fredricksen: “This is crazy. I finally meet my childhood hero and he's trying to kill us. What a joke.”
Dug: “Hey, I know a joke! A squirrel walks up to a tree and says, 'I forgot to store acorns for the winter and now I am dead.' Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.”
“This is for Woody, when you find him.” [She gives Buzz a long kiss]
“Um, okay, but it won't be the same coming from me.” — Bo Peep and Buzz Lightyear

You had something? Something has been inserted in in you that makes you look… Listen, I need a favor.” — Mike Wazowski
“Ratatouille. It's like a stew, right? Why do they call it that? If you're gonna name a food, you should give it a name that sounds delicious. Ratatouille doesn't sound delicious. It sounds like “rat” and 'patootie.' Rat-patootie, which does not sound delicious." — Linguini
Russell: “A wilderness explorer is a friend to all, be a plant or fish or tiny mole!”
Carl Fredricksen: “That doesn't even rhyme!”
Gill: [Catches Nemo staring at his broken fin] “My first escape. Landed on dentist tools. I was aiming for the toilet.”
Gill: “All drains lead to the ocean, kid.”
“Of course I have a secret identity. Can you see me in this at the, at the supermarket? Come on! Who'd want to go shopping as Elastigirl, know what I mean?” — Helen
EVE: EVE.
WALL.E: [attempting to pronounce it]
Eeee…
WALL.E: Eeeee… va? [EVE giggles]
Crush: Okay. Squirt here will now give you a rundown of proper exiting technique.
Squirt: Good afternoon. We're gonna have a great jump today. Okay, first crank a hard cutback as you hit the wall. There's a screaming bottom curve, so watch out. Remember: rip it, roll it, and punch it.
Marlin: It's like he's trying to speak to me, I know it.[to Squirt]Look, you're really cute, but I can't understand what you're saying. Say the first thing again.
Dory: Excuse me? Whoo-hoo! Little fella? Hello! Don't be rude. Say hi.
Dory: …Nemo was taken to, um…
Dory: …Sydney, yeah. And it's really, really important that we get there as fast as we can, so can you help us out? Come on, little fella. Come on.
Marlin: Dory? I'm a little fella. I don't think that's a little fella.
