It pitted classic (and some new) animated Disney movies against Disney-owned animation studio Pixar.
Some of the match-ups were near impossible (you want me to pick between "Inside Out" and "Finding Nemo?"), while others were a little too easy ("Toy Story 3" vs. "The Good Dinosaur").
But one thing was always clear in my mind: "The Incredibles," about a family of superheroes, is Pixar's best film.
It has tough competition. While Pixar has had some misses in recent years, it is still known for high-quality animated films, from "Toy Story" to "Up" to "Coco."
