Pixar Characters Who Deserve Their Own Movie

Pixar Animation Studios has given us an enormous amount of phenomenal and memorable characters over the past years, each with their unique personalities and captivating stories.

While many of them had their own adventures, there are also a lot that deserve to have the spotlight shine on them in their own original movies. Here are 5 Pixar characters who we truly believe deserve their story to be told.

1. Gill From Finding Nemo

Gill, a Moorish idol fish, serves as a mentor and leader to the other fish in the dentist's tank, where the baby clownfish Nemo appeared by accident.

Trapped in the tank, Gill dreams of freedom and develops daring plans to escape and his determination and resourcefulness make him a fascinating character who is worthy of further exploration.

A stand-alone movie focusing on Gill could dive into his backstory, revealing the events that caused his scars and led to him being captured in the tank, and also show viewers how his story unfolded after his long-awaited escape.

2. Boo From Monsters, Inc

Boo, the adorable little girl from Monsters, Inc., captured our hearts with her innocence, infectious laughter and funny little pigtails.

A movie dedicated to Boo could explore her life after the events of the original film and delve into the connection between the monster world and the human world.

Imagine how heartwarming it would be to see our little girl, living her adult life and perhaps having children of her own, reunited with her long-forgotten best friends, beloved Sully and Mike.

3. Mater From Cars

Mater, the tow truck from the Cars franchise, has always been a source of laughter and entertainment for the audience.

An original film focusing on Mater's adventures, his quirky personality, and his small-town charisma would be a fun experience that would allow the audience to explore Mater's world and witness his unique perspective on life.

The film could also explore Mater's role as a mentor, as he imparts his wisdom and values to younger vehicles, and maybe even introduce some new characters under Mater's wing who are eager to win the race as their teacher's best friend Lightning McQueen once did.

4. Mamá Imelda From Coco

Mamá Imelda, the matriarch of the Rivera family, captivated audiences with her fierce spirit and unforgettable role in the heartwarming story of Miguel.

Mamá Imelda had too many obstacles in her way, and it would be captivating to see her at her young age.

We could witness her passion for music, her dreams, the circumstances that shaped her into the strong-willed woman she became, and, finally, her relationship with her husband Héctor before they got to the Land of the Dead.

5. Rex From Toy Story

Rex, the shy and lovable Tyrannosaurus Rex toy from the Toy Story franchise, has always been a fan favorite.

A movie centered around Rex would reveal where his insecurities came from, show his quest for bravery, and his potential for surprising heroism.

It would delve deeper into his roots and also show his life after Woody's departure, along with his girlfriend Trixie and other toys.

Rex's character has the potential to deliver a funny and touching story that would resonate with audiences of all ages.
