There were of course the big boys, Transformers 3 is amazing visually, I watched it twice in theaters (once in 2D, once in 3D) because it was just so visually impressive, and of course some of the games, movies and animations that are more mainstream (or are part of movies) are awesome too. Check out the animation festival list here: http://www.siggraph.org/s2011/for_attendees/computer-animation-festival for all the details.
