Best Animated Feature: CGI Crowd-pleasers vs. Traditionally Animated Critical Hits

This is one of the only categories where it seems like any of the nominees has a decent shot of winning. Since year-long frontrunner The LEGO Movie is not in contention, the best bets are crowd-pleasing blockbusters from Disney (Big Hero 6) and DreamWorks (How To Train Your Dragon 2).
