CGI gets a bad rap around these parts of the interweb.
If it doesn’t involve giant blue cats dry humping each other in the middle of a glowing forest, then it’s some amphibian floppy eared twat running around ruining your favourite sci-fi saga.
Many forget that CGI animation is also responsible for some of the best movies to have graced the screen, managing to reduce grown men to blubbering wrecks at the site of a robot falling in love with a flying iPad.
So we’ve cobbled together our Top 10 CGI Films, all in aid to celebrate the release of The Battle For Terra on DVD from July 5. Read our list after the jump…

Here we are again, filling the gap between Christmas and next year with our favourite stuff from the year gone by.
Now we know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “But hecklerspray, this is 2009 so why aren’t you doing a list of the best stuff that’s happened this decade?” And the answer to that is this: We forgot it was the end of the decade. Alright? We forgot. AND NOW IT’S TOO LATE.
Anyway, let’s fill this poxy post Christmas wilderness with the best films of the year, as picked by our ragtag bunch of young adventurers. Let us know if you disagree…

Right, first an admission. The Hangover is the top movie at the weekend box office this week. That’s not the admission.
The admission is that The Hangover was also the top movie at the weekend box office last week as well. But we said that it was beaten by Up because the numbers were quite close and nobody worked it out properly for a few days. So sorry.
Anyway, The Hangover is the top movie at the US weekend box office this week. Unless there’s been another mistake and really it’s Up. Or Drag Me To Hell. Or ET. Whatever.

In these days of giant fighting space robots, it’s rare for a movie to top the weekend box office for more than a week.
But Up‘s done it. Pixar’s heartwarming tale of a little old man who becomes so insane with indescribable grief that he literally has to leave the face of the Earth has remained number one at the US weekend box office.
See Dreamworks? This is how you sell a cartoon. Now make sure that Kung Fu Panda 2 ends with the panda developing a harrowing alcohol dependency, and be quick about it. There’s money to be made!

It’s the summer. And that means that, as weekend box office law states, all films released now must be angry, loud and full of massive robots punching each other.
But weekend box office law has another rule for the summer – that Pixar gets to release a new movie, and it’ll make all the other films look a bit silly in comparison. And this year that film is Up, the new US weekend box office number one.
What made Up so popular? Was it the groundbreaking technological accomplishments? The mature storytelling? No, it was all the balloons. Balloons are fun. Wheeeee!

The suburban nightmare is over.
After rigging your house with kiddie balloons, the neighbours get the finger and you rocket to the heavens, free to enjoy your sick misanthropic fantasy… then you realise you have to share it with a tubby little tosspot.
Pixar’s cleverly titled Up is the tale of a pissed off 78-year-old who dreams of exploring the globe by using his house as flying ship. When Carl Fredricksen finally decides to eject from his pointless existence, he finds an eight-year-old stowaway named Russell hanging out on the porch.
