ok where do you think the line is drawn?

Let's plays could be argued to straddle that line for example depending on, like you said, effort and if it's creative or not.

but at the same time I'd say animations and such fall firmly into the art catagory.

I would say so. But, just like any art, it really is all up to the viewer.

Some paintings would not be called art to some. It really all depends.
