Academy Award Nominations - Best Animated Film



I think that the animated category is very weak this year. Initially there were talks about having 5 nominees for animated film. Unfortunately, the rull depends on the number of qualifying films. Arthur and the Incredibles did not meet the eligibility criteria and as a result we only have 3 nominated films. Cars is most likely the front runner, although I found it to be kind of boring and nowhere near as good as Finding Nemo nor The Incredibles. It was a disappointment, because I expected so much more from Pixar. I thought Happy Feet was very boring. Yes, we know that Penguins are adorable and fun, but we already had March of the Penguins, in order to keep up the momentum we need sustenance. Personally, I think that Monster House was the most entertaining of the three movies. I actually enjoyed it, although, I think the content was a little intense for young audiences.
