Thank you for making a separate thread for this, JP. Very attentive of you. ;)

Boy, so many choices. Well, if I had to choose just one it would probably be The Incredibles, simply because, it's damn-near perfect in pretty much every conceivable way. Animation, much like superhero or comedy films, is one of those areas of film where I am forced to judge a picture on how well it has managed to resonate outside it's genre and whether people recognize it as a solid movie as opposed to a solid [insert description here] movie.

This is actually something I've run into alot when evaluating films/music/books etc. For instance, while I would probably choose Space Jam as my all-time favorite film, it is far from the best one I have seen. This choice is based much more on the nostalgic and sentimental value the film holds for me than the actual quality of its story, characters, direction, acting, or script.

Because if I were to nominate a film for the title of best I've (yet) seen, it would probably be Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (it's the speech at the end that really does it for me). In other words, there is often a difference for me between favorite and best with regards to the entertainment I consume. Also, I'm not really the kind of person who can lay out their favorite content in order of magnitude. I have largly equal levels of love for each franchise that I follow, and my focus on them individually changes periodically. This means that I might spend a few months or so immersing myself in everything Star Wars, then change to Harry Potter, then to BttF, then to Marvel, then to Batman, then back to Marvel, and so on. This doesn't mean that I have lost my love for those other properties, just that my attention is currently more on one specific title.

What's more, when it comes to animation, I tend to simply avoid much of the crap that's out there (i.e. Video Brinquedo, Kanbar Entertainment, ANYTHING animated having to do with the Titanic!), so I haven't really had to suffer through any of this obscure stuff. Infact, I don't even regularly watch alot of animated titles.

As for my least favorite, that would probably be either Cars 2 or Good Dinosaur (keep in mind that I'm only picking films I've actually seen).
