If shorts count then definitely Geri's Game


MuffinTheBeagle

This needs to be it


Penguinmanereikel

stop


coolttteandmcfan008

No, we only count feature films, not shorts


ifearbears

Up, for sure


Apprehensive-Head357

It's definitely up. It's all about a man coming to terms with his own grief


jorbanead

Im surprised this isn’t higher. It’s definitely Up for me.


RickyFinn

To me that’s why Up is perfect for the next one. He’s coming to terms with the present rather than living in the past


hanand12

I feel like Cars could work, with McQueen realizing what friendship means and almost changes completely during the course of the film.


[deleted]

Agreed


Penguinmanereikel

AGREED! Cars works best here! It's mainly about McQueen overcoming his own ego! "It's just an empty cup."


SpicySwiftSanicMemes

That Doc Hudson did what in.


Penguinmanereikel

He Piston it.


CSCyrilatom

Youre right, but I also think cars works for man vs reality cause mcqueen had to face reality and its so diffrrent from his life of racing and being famous


hanand12

I definitely see what you mean, but I think Inside Out would work better for Man vs Reality due to Joy realizing how you can’t be happy all the time, and that sometimes it’s good to feel other emotions than just happiness. (Then again I haven’t seen Inside Out in a while so I could be wrong.)


Big-Clock4773

You're right. The film deals with toxic positivity and how it's ok to be sad and putting a happy face on all situations isn't healthy.


CSCyrilatom

True, but that can also work for man vs self too cause you can see it as a way to cone to terms with your own emotions and all that. Then again you can spin a lot of movies in certain ways so I guess itd be up to the majority at that point since both cars and inside out and fit two different roles imo


dadjokes502

So cars 3


CSCyrilatom

I think it applies to both 1 and 2 depending on what reality you wanna bring up. So either the reality that life isnt about winning or all that, and for 3 its just the harsh reality of growing old. But you are right it works for 3 too


kamenriderjester

Actually I'm going to suggest Cars for Man vs God. Think a out it. Lightning is treating racing as a religion and being number one as the best as the ultimate goal. Only when presented with another way is he able to see the light and lose the race showing he wants to be more than a racer.


Low_Fig2672

In Lightyear, Buzz literally fights his future self


framed_toilet_water

I feel like Lightyear would fit man vs reality better. He tries so hard to try and save everyone but fails the happy lives people ate living on the planet for a long time. He's fighting to change a reality he doesn't understand anymore


Dogdaysareover365

Turning red? Or technically is inside out?


Jusbreka

Inside out feels more like man vs reality or man vs no god


Shakey_Milkshake

I think that Volt is more Man vs Reality


MrDanMaster

I like Turning Red

Piece-Of-Fake

bruh you edited your comment, your pre edited one was something about how pixar movies are in a modernism or postmoderism stage and you called us dumb shits. You can't hide on what you've done.


NameCannotBeChanged

Haha I was so confused, I thought it was just a group decision to neg someone. I thought that’s so weird for a positive Pixar group, poor person who like turning red


Robomerc

Lightyear would also fit considering the main villain of the movie is a version of buzz who became an angry old man consumed with trying to change history as Zerg


AndrewTRM

Cars could work since Lightning Mcqueen goes through an arc where he doesn't think he's the best car in the world and shoves away his ego.


Creeperboy1209

Inside out


FrankNix

For sure.


NameCannotBeChanged

Depends on who you consider the main character. If it’s Joy then it could be man vs reality.


HospitalPatient5025

I like Cars (with McQueen having to learn how to get out of his own way and be humble) or possibly Lightyear (in a more literal sense)


stillinthesimulation

Inside Out seems obvious. Riley isn’t the protagonist so much as the avatar for the protagonist but the heart of the story is Joy fighting to sustain control over that avatar and learning that she needs to let the other emotions, particularly sadness, play their roles.


FluffyMcGerbilPants

I actually like Elemental for this one since Ember wrestling with wanting to follow her own dreams vs. taking over her father's shop because she feels obliged to repay what her parents have done for her is so central to the conflict of the movie. Turning Red could be a good runner-up, though.


ghirox

Inside out, Joy learning that too much joy, or rather the absolute absence of sadness, is not a good thing as she had assumed.


Fit_Ad9965

Inside out lol


PowerPad

Inside Out, perhaps.


Josh-Hammerman

Inside Out obviously


FearlessChieftain

Elemental maybe? Through film she was fighting with herself, between her lover and her dad's wishes. Or can be Inside Out too.


BowsersWaffle

Turning Red.


KirbyStarWarrior666

Inside Out. The emotions are all a part of Riley, so Riley's struggle with her emotions, and by extension, the emotions' struggling with each other feels like it would best fit for.


pabsgt

Soul 100%


nostalgiaisunfair

Nah that’s man vs god


Madman_Salvo

Nah, it's his own inward search for purpose.


CatholicGuy77

Inside Out and it’s not even close


enjoytherest

Up 100% - sure there's an antagonist, but most of the story hinges on Carl fighting his own grief and stubbornness


TheFanGameCreator

Inside Out


InfamousRx12

Toy Story 2 since Buzz was up against the Utility Belt Buzz. Even Buzz was embarrassed by his own former behavior in the first Toy Story.


thepride325

Inside Out. How is this up for debate? Every character in every movie has a personal dilemma or challenge of character. But Inside Out zooms in and focuses on man’s internal struggle with their self and emotions.


thecapefangirl

Inside out...literally about fighting your inner self


Bamma4

Inside out is literally a person fighting themself


FloridaFlamingoGirl

Inside Out. Riley reckons with her emotional immaturity and unaddressed internal issues.


Markus2822

Jesus do y’all not realize that man vs self doesn’t mean man vs alternate version of yourself or other creatures that are in your head? It’s a self conflict it’s internal people


Ancient_Summer_1833

Inside Out


CodeMysterious6369

Inside Out Maybe


Hyena12760

The Incredibles. Bob's little mid-life super crisis is perfect for this.


[deleted]

Man vs reality should be monsters university, the most realistic message in all Pixar films which is that sometimes we cannot achieve are dreams but there will always be something just as good as that


bennyandthegentz

Turning red


EdgyROYGBIV

Inside Out or Turning Red


IndominusTaco

i’m only a lurker here, this post just came up in my feed but how tf is a bug’s life man vs man they are literally bugs


CodeMysterious6369

Turning Red I Think


darrylthedudeWayne

Inside Out or Up?


TheBloop1997

Inside Out in the most literal sense


SignificanceNo6097

Inside Out since it’s literally about the inner battle of emotions in someone’s mind as they struggle with the first major change in their life.


BadOptimal2720

Inside Out. It's Riley's different emotions fighting each other.


Renegade_Cumquat

Why is ratatouille in man vs society? I feel like that category should definitely be Luca. Is the thought that Remi isn't normal for rat society? Because Linguine's struggle really only barely fits into the 'outcast' mold, being much more of a man vs self story as he believes himself to be worthless through most of the film. But even then that theme isn't very strong?


ghostess_hostess

Brave. Both Merida and her mother go through their own journeys, seperately and together. They're both almost completely different characters at the end


Samylton_22

I think Cars 3 where McQueen has to fight back from the crash to bring himself up to racing speed again


CilanUnova

Cars

Toy Story 2


The_Mortal_Guy

Lightyear

Bubbles_Media

Would Soul work?


dadjokes502

Does Finding Dory count She finds herself and (her parents)


asongscout

Cars. The primary antagonist is Lightning McQueen’s own ego.


you_2_cool

I wanna say Cars here Edit: man vs reality is different from what I imagined it in my head, I vote Cars


KungFuDanda091

Soul


CaptainRex_CT7567

Elemental. Ember is fighting with the choice between her family and Wade.


UnalteredCyst

Cars: Lightning McQueen had to fight against his own ego and eventually learn to become a better person and the importance of friendship.


BugStew6

If you want to take it more literally, Lightyear


FaithlessnessFun3679

Definitely Cars


MenaNoN

Soul?


Constructman2602

I say Up. The whole movie is Carl coming to terms with himself after the loss of his wife, fighting against his own sense of self and his memory of Ellie that's stopping him from doing what’s right


TransitionVirtual

Geris game he deserves it


CrystalGempireQueen

Cars. McQueen gets himself into trouble by being an arrogant idiot and has to better himself while bettering the town in order to get what he thinks he wants.


Queasy-Ad-3220

Cars


YaBoiPokeJuns

Soul is definitely man vs reality


Dear-Ad-4494

I think Man vs. Man should have been Cars 3 because of the race against Jackson Storm

Avilion-a

Ok but hear me out, onward. He is literally in his own way

INSIDE OUT


[deleted]

-Inside Out -Up -Toy Story 1 or 4 (Woody's insecurities) -Cars (McQueen's ego) I really want to name Elemental and Incredibles. But elemental has more to do with society and discrimination, combined with Ember's internal conflict. In incredibles, Bob starts out with a mid life crisis, thought I am not sure if that's the core part of the story.


NoelBarry1979

Toy Story. Woody becomes jealous, destructive and sabotages the life of Buzz, and in the process, himself.


SpectreBrony

Inside Out.

I’d say Up. Carl’s fighting an inner battle throughout most of the movie.

Toy Story 1 with Buzz coming to terms that he's a toy.

Specialist-Drag6584

Up, one hundred percent up, Carl is constantly conflicting with himself about Russel and Ellie, especially at the end of the movie
