Favorite OVERALL Animated Film Since 1995 (English-speaking)

OK folks, this is it. For for your favorite Animated Film since 1995. I took the top nominated movies from the following polls:Yes, there's no anime, no Ghibli, no Japanese animation of any kind. Foreign animation will factor into the next run-off.

So have at you! If your favorite ain't listed, click Other and post your selection below. Jeff Schwartz would have wanted it that way.

I'd say I'd have to go with the Toy Story duo. Great all-around movies in addition to having ground-breaking computer animation. The fact that the second was just as strong (if not stronger) as the first one is an extra bonus.

The Incredibles by far. I've loved all the Pixar movies (well aside Finding Nemo which I just liked, it was a little to "kiddie" for me, didn't seem to have the layer of stuff to appeal to adults that the kids don't pick up that the others do) but The Incredibles was just the perfect way to blend stuff for the kids and stuff for the adults as well.

I've yet to see The Incredibles, but have seen the rest. Of those, I'll definitely have to say Toy Story/Toy Story 2. I loved both movies, with the original with a slight advantage. I absolutely loved Finding Nemo, but Toy Story holds the coveted spot of favorite in this timeframe.

The Incredibles has been receiving critical acclaim, so I'm very much looking forward to catching it on DVD (my theatre-going days are few and far between).

Atlantis. I'm a big fan of adventure movies. It also had my favorite animation of any recent movie. Monsters Inc. is a close second.

The Incredibles:

the movie just did everything so well. It exceeded what I thought an animated picture could do; not just technically but character and storywise. Deeply felt, intelligent and moving. This movie truly raised the bar for animated movies.

grrr...this was tough [well, not selecting Shrek wasn't]..

I loved all these flicks, but Nemo has too much emotion for me to deny.

Every flick listed [except Shrek] get continuous spins in my player [the Incredibles will too, as soon as it's released..].

For the record, I feel exactly the same way, although I think the first Shrek is just OK (the sequel, on other hand... )

Nemo got my vote. I felt it was cinematic perfection, and that was a HARD decision to come by when judged against Toy Story, Incredibles, and Iron Giant.

Nemo, easily. However, I have not seen The Incredibles yet.

I turned off Shrek 2 halfway in and was lukewarm about Shrek 1.

My vote goes to The Incredibles... A hard choice, but in the end, I just loved The Incredibles so much, and just dying to get it on dvd.

TLK was released in 1994. Then again, if you interpreted the question to mean "what, since 1995, has been your favorite animated film?" I guess you could choose that.

My vote goes to Toy Story 2.

The "Shreks" are hugely overrated. I narrowly picked "Toy Story" over "The Incredibles" although ask me again in five minutes and it might be the other way around.

Can't go wrong with the Toy Storys and Randy Newman. Although the Incredibles comes close with an excellent Bond-ish score.

Not sure why everybody on this board hates the Shrek movies so much.

My pick: The Iron Giant

I can't speak for everyone, but I find them incredibly insipid. #1 was OK but the sequel was just the pits.
