I nominate The Price of Egypt, because of Ralph Fiennes, Hans Zimmer, and the effects crew. What a fucking grandiose story, beats the shit out of any pixar greedy chef wants revenge or insulted fanboy wants revenge story. But for me you could pretty much leave the non-Pixar part out of this, and keep the list the same.

When you’ve seen only 30%, maybe “slim pickens” is an unfair term, even with your disclaimer

(ratings out of ten)

Kung Fu Panda – 9/10

Happy Feet – 7/10, but in many ways I admire it more than that score. It’s a much weirder movie than I expected.

Antz – 8/10, Dreamworks’ first movie promised so much more from this company. It’s more adult and while the overcasting seemed like shades of bad things to come, in Antz it fits pretty well.

Shrek – 4/10. I friggin hate Shrek. That said, I’ve seen the first 2 and enjoy them well enough the first time, and then on second viewing they reveal how truly shitty they are. The sort of “camera work” especially compared to so many other CGI films is extremely weak.

TMNT – 6/10 – Its Ninja Turtles so I tend to bias toward them… that said I’ve already forgotten nearly everything about this.

Monster House – 9/10 – Like Shrek, I feel this could have maybe been better in 2d, but as it is, its still a pretty good, well written story, that I can go back to again and again.

Ice Age – 5/10 – the second half is better than the first, maybe even doubly so, as the first half is the most boring thing I’ve seen in this style. I’m still surprised its managed to generate sequels.
