So, how many animation style are there? I'm thinking...
1. The most and popular one, Pixar style (cartoony almost towards realism style, cartoony realism that's how I interpret it) Examples: How to train your dragon, The incredibles, UP, Planet 51, Tales of Desperaux, Monster vs aliens. I think it's more to acting. There are 12 principles of animation applied in a right proportion. For example: not too much squash and stretch just to retain the realism and so that the acting looks real.
2. Cartoony gag style (That's how I interpret it) which I think is quite different than Pixar style. Super exagerration. I think this is just for fun. Examples: The only recent film I can think of is "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs". Check out some of those super exagerrated movements! Insane! They manage to apply 2D movement into 3D! How the heck did they do the rig and the animation? I'm curious!
3. Realistic style. Examples: Avatar. The only animated film that actually achieve the style properly. Very well polished! This style is done properly is not that bad after all.
4. Stop motion + CG. Examples: Coraline, Tim Burton's Corpse bride, Unique and stylized. It has its own characteristic.
5. and many more...!
