Traditional animation is dead, well at least in most movie theatres across the world.

Even Disney the once great empire of yearly animated epics has closed up shop in favor of computer generated ones.
The success of Pixar's masterpieces has other studios envious. There are now multple companies who are all now battling it out with one another to see who can claim the throne for the future of all family entertainment.

Main contendors are are Pixar and Dreamworks each one duking it out. Pixar is still way ahead of dreamworks but the gap is quickly being closed. There are also some upstarts who seem to want to join the fray like bluesky (creator of ice age and the recently released robots) and Disney with their newly revamped CGI animation department.

Join in the frey, take sides, express your opinions.

I honestly think that Pixar is the undiputed king of CGI animation. They've made six films and each of those respective films has gone on to break box office records and recieve loads of critical praise. All of their movies have been fantastic they are extremely well written and multifaceted. They never resort to crude humor or use gratuitous pop culture references to get a laugh. While they generally tend to be funny they also have deeper moral messages. Pixar movies posses a timeless quality that is stays relevent no matter how many years pass after their release. Heck there this one scene in Toy Story 2 that makes me cry everytime I see it just because it stikes just a resonant cord.
