Yeah, Blue Sky wins out easy. My logic: the only Sony I've seen is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, which while decent doesn't beat Ice Age or (of course) Robots. Granted, Ice Age 2 sucked, but hey I never said they were as good as Pixar, did I?
I notice leave out Disney from this list altogether, by the way. I think, looking at the 21st century of animation, I'd rank Pixar, Disney (though honestly, if not for Lilo & Stitch, it would be lower), DreamWorks, Blue Sky, Sony (I basically just learned of their existence).

Well I was really more comparing three dimensional animated films and Disney hasn't really put out that many computer animated movies;
Chicken Little
Meet the Robinsons
Bolt
Tangled
Only Tangled is great, Chicken Little was pretty bad, Meet the Robinsons was okay I guess and Bolt was decent.
The only DW movie I loved was Kung Fu Panda, which I suspected they'd screw up soon rather than later with rushed sequels, but it looks like How to Train Your Dragon will be doing that instead.

^Personal oppion is that's a wee bit generous, I'd give a straight six, but yeah not a bad film, just really forgetable...the same applies to all of Disney's non-Pixar CG offerings.
1. Bolt's boring and predictable, but not bad per se, just bland...and contains Miley Cyrus.
2. Tangled actually supposed to pretty good, but I haven't seen it to determine that for myself yet. Honestly I would have paid more attention to it if it were rendered in 2D animation.
3.Meet the Robisons is like Chicken Little, it's corny and cute (although it takes itself way more seriously) but not as memorable as some of Disney's other work (I do like the Walt Disney quote at the end though).

you gotta see Tangled. it's better than the majority of the two dimensional films Disney's made, imo

^I'm just a little bitter that they made something else in 3d straight after releasing the first 2d film (not about the Simpsons) by any major company in the last couple of years. Again though, I heard it's awesome and I DO want to see it, I just haven't gotten the chance to yet.

^ Watch Tangled, it's worth the seeing, Zachary Levi makes a great loveable criminal/prince charming?...okay, so he's not a prince, but you get the picture. Also, Megamind is decent, personally I thought it was better than the charming,if ridden Despicable Me. Anyway, one last animation topic to get off my chest. Wreck-it-Ralph was announced by Disney Animation recently.  "Wreck-It Ralph, an arcade game bad guy, who is determined to prove he can be a good guy". It stars, John C. Riley, Sarah Silverman and Jane Lynch. Also, apparently the likes of Pac-Man and Halo will cameo. I kind of expected this kind of thing from Dreamworks, not Disney, thoughts? |

Watched Stand By Me last night, it was great, can see the affect it had on Super 8.
I also bought Dog Day Afternoon, will watch that sometime soon.

I'm just going to rattle off certain films I've seen over the past few months.
The Shawshank Redemption - Wonderful
Rio - Okay, but predictable
Kung Fu Panda - it was great....much to my surprise
X-Men First Class - good, better than x3 and Wolverine by far
Green Lantern - meh
Super 8 - the best thing I've seen all year
Sucker Punch - the worst thing I've seen all year
Batman - Good
The Last of the Mohicans - Underwhelming
Gangs of New York - Great, even if Crade overrates it a little
The Apartment - It's Billy Wilder...need I say more?
Citizen Kane - Lived up to my expectations
Psycho - Surpass my expectations
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 - Well and truly let every one know that this franchise is falling apart
The Dirty Dozen - Great no nonsense action movie
Dirty Harry - Worthy of it's pop culture status.
