Owed to Pixar

As of April 2025, Pixar has produced 19 non-sequel feature films, which are listed below. Most of these titles have each been omitted from a clue in this puzzle.

Answers should be entered beginning in the numbered square and proceeding in one of the eight orthogonal or diagonal directions.

Once all answers have been entered, some squares will remain blank. Each such square should be filled so that one of the unused Pixar movies passes through it. Shade these entries in the grid to reveal my ode to Pixar, the title of which can be found in the circled cells.

Clicking a numbered cell will highlight the clue associated and show it above the grid. A plus sign next to a cell's number indicates there are multiple clues with that number; you'll need to click multiple times to see the additional clues. Pressing 2 will shade a cell; pressing 1 will reset a cell to white. Clicking a Pixar title below will cross it off the list; reclicking will uncross it.

*Note: No, none of these count. They haven't been omitted from the clue. Now Onward with the rest of the puzzle.)
