Floridians love their toys
We'd be crazy to say that we didn't have a favorite Pixar film. But did you know each state also has a favorite film? Generations have grown up with Pixar films, going all the way back to the release of "Toy Story" in 1995.
With the release of "Toy Story 4" on Thursday, adults are now reliving their childhood -- again.
Cabletv.com used Google Trends to determine the most popular Pixar movie in each state. Let's take a look at which movies were favored in each state.

Eight states follow their arrow

"Inside Out’s" team of colorful emotions stole the hearts of viewers from Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon and Utah.
You've got a friend in...
We love our toys so much so that the original "Toy Story" film is still a favorite in the Sunshine State. However, Idaho prefers the 1999 sequel, "Toy Story 2." Connecticut, Delaware and Nevada like "Toy Story 3." If you ask us, nothing beats the original.
One is the loneliest number
Several Pixar films scored just a single state according to cabletv.com.
1998’s "A Bug’s Life" - Louisiana
2011’s "Cars 2" - Arkansas
2017’s "Cars 3" - Kentucky
2003’s "Finding Nemo" - Hawaii
2015’s "The Good Dinosaur" - Wyoming
2008’s "WALL-E" - Alaska
Of them all, only Hawaii stood by their 2018 favorite.
Not so incredible
The original "Incredibles" film lived up to its name. California and Texas loved the original version of the film that followed a family of supers as they try to live a normal life, but the 2018 sequel, "Incredibles 2" wasn't able to power its way onto the map.
Just keep swimming
Iowa, Kansas, Montana and Rhode Island won’t forget their favorite film, "Finding Dory." The 2016 sequel became the third-most successful Pixar movie of all time.
"Monsters, Inc." scared its way to Arizona and New Mexico.
"Ratatouille" spiced up feelings in Massachusetts and Vermont.
