When Pixar produced the first Toy Story in 1995, they must have known that whilst they got in first, there would be a rush of computer generated animated films that would follow in their wake. Some would be good and some would be bad, so the only way they could stand out from the crowd was to retain the hallmark of quality, in much the same way that Walt Disney fashioned his fledgling animation company. As it came to pass, there have been many computer generated films since 1995. Very few have quality to the standard of Pixar productions, and many leave a bad taste in the mouth (I'm thinking of Bolt and the later Shrek films). But every so often comes a well produced film such as How to Train Your Dragon and Over The Hedge. I'm very happy to add Despicable Me to that short list.
