Well Bryan, it looks like you did a simple search on google and posted everything here.. but they can't ALL be your favorite... it would negate the word...
like they said in 'Island Of Dr. Moreau':
"There Can Only Be One God - Who Is God Number ONE?"

- - - - -
Hard to rank these as so MANY of them are just abundantly GREAT...
... and with sequels, you might just have to include some of them as a 'Franchise' rather then an individual movie in some cases (how can you possibly pick a favorite between the toy story's?)


With that Said:

• The Toy Story Franchise still ranks TOPS across the board
• Surfs Up was just SO much fun.. i could watch it a thousand times. (Jeff Brdiges seemingly reviving his role as 'DUDE' from The Big Lebowski)
• And probably Finding Nemo HAS to be in the top three - Man .. movie was just BRILLIANT!!!

* Honorary mention - Shrek 1 & 2 (they should have stopped there)

9 - When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction.

They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they'll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.

my fav is Kungfu panda. That movie was amazing.. the panda was so adorable.

Great lists! I liked toy story, kungfu panda, a bug's life (I think it was years ago since it was made like toy story) and shrek!

+ 1 for Bolt and How to Train your Dragon

Was Despicable Me missed? and Megamind!

It is not like Disney, I'm just looking for good animation and great story. I've seen most of Miyazaki's work, I've been a fan of his, because when I came to the U.S. Totoro was a child....

great list! thanks for the reminders of all those listed 3D movies
