I've seen all these are well. So I'm not repeating the introduction again.
How to Train Your Dragon
A charming film with wonderful sequences of the main character training and caring for an injured dragon, great flight sequences, and supporting characters that blended together too much for me. Grade A-
The Illusionist
A charming, beautifully drawn film which bored the hell out of me. Pretty much the same reaction I had to The Triplets of Bellvue. Great looking film, but the director doesn't understand plot and pacing. The Minions got screwed. Grade C
Toy Story 3
I thought the story telling was a little forced, but Dragon's big flaw is Toy Story's big strength: well drawn characters. And even lower level Pixar is better than almost everyone else.
Oscar prediction: Never bet against Pixar. Toy Story 3 in a walk.
My choice: If you don't know who the Minions are, see Despicable Me stat. But since they aren't nominated, go with Pixar.
