12 Films Eligible for Best Animated Feature Oscar

[Watashi]

Wait, Beowulf counts?

Uh, of course.

Why wouldn't it?

[MadMan]

Am I the only fan of the ATHF movie 'round these parts? The film reminded me a lot of Un Chien Andalou and Head, if only because all of those films are really strange and don't make a good deal of sense. Although I'd rank Buñuel's film above the other two, if only because its the strangest of the bunch and has an expert, dream like quality to it. The other two are a bit overlong and ATHF did test even my patience, and I'm a fan of the show. Still I don't regret seeing it in the theater and leaving wondering what the hell my friend and I had just seen.

I haven't seen any of them, but Persepolis at least looks interesting.

I am also a fan.

I liked it a good deal, though it does amount to a long winded, middle of the road episode. It may not reach the heights frequently seen in the show, but it's loaded with good stuff (love the Space Ghost cameo) and I can't overstate my appreciation for its overall contribution to the show's mythos.

[eternity]

Uh, of course.

Why wouldn't it?

They didn't let The Polar Express count because it used motion capture animation. I heard that the same was going to apply for Beowulf from multiple sources prior to now.

Guess not.

[Sycophant]

I am also a fan.

I respect it more than I like it. But I like it well enough.

Awesome to hear. Yeah it did seem like an extension of the show, but in a good way. So many moments were utterly hilarious, while other moments weirded me out in a way that the show often does.

Sycophant I can pretty much understand that

Uh, The Polar Express was eligible. Same with Monster House (which got nominated) which all use the same technique.

Brad Bird should always win this whenever he's up for it.

Persepolis looks really really good though.

I'm keeping with my picks I stated earlier:

Persepolis
Ratatouille
THe Simpsons Movie
