:
Toy Story: 5 years animation
Antz: 4 years animation
Shrek: 6 years animation
Please give us sources for that that prove we are talking about animation and not total production.

:
Pluss, for proffesional productions, it takes 1 hour to render 1 second of CG film, imagine a 90 minute film. That'll take up a lot of time. Not really that much but I figured it out. Figure it out and you'll see it takes a while.
But what you're forgetting is that they don't render the whole movie in one big block when they finish animation; they do it in bits as they go along. In any case, that is a massive generalisation. Rendering time depends on the complexity of the scene. A scene from Finding Nemo set on a reef with huge amounts of coral and hundreds of fish, with complex lighting and water effects would take hours. A scene from Toy Story with Woody walking through the bedroom would take considerably less time.
