Ray G Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I expect release date, box office, and studio clout to all swing the race in favor of HTTYD, but Lego will be in the race till the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingdong123 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Big Hero 6Book of LifeThe BoxtrollsHow to Train You Dragon 2The Lego MovieOf course as a disney fan, I am rooting for BH6. But competition is incredibly tough this year (even with the absence of Pixar). I think this will be between Book of Life and Dragon if both delivers (and BH6 too lol) Edited June 2, 2014 by Dingdong123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomboom234 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Lego is the best reviewed movie of the year it really should win, and I thin warner will campaign the hell out of it to boast their animation department 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK007 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Dragon 2 should win but Lego could win because it's "original". Unless BH6 pulls an upset. Boxtrolls looks average. Book of Life looks on the verge of being a carcrash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or why Paranorman and Frankenweenie drew the year before? Or why Rango won the year bef- okay, I'll give you that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChD Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Dragon will win. The first one would've won if not for Toy Story 3. People remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portgas Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think Dragon will reign supreme this year. BH6 looks interesting, though and it's apparently more of a drama than comedy, with rare action (and all of it are chases, typical disney). It's almost certainly not up to scale of HTTYD2, and I doubt anything will approach it in years to come. But I'm optimistic about BH6.

AniNate Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Lego Movie's very likely going to be tops in both box office and critical reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Freak Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) I think disappointing BO may hurt HTTYD2's chances. This is one category where popularity and BO success are definitely factors, I think, probably because Academy voters are relatively clueless when it comes to critiquing animation. Having said that, Lego's early release may hurt it equally as well, meaning level playing field? If one or more of The Boxtrolls, Book of Life and BH6 are superb knockouts, then I think one of them stands a good chance of stealing the win away from Lego and Dragon.

WB can bombard the voters with LEGO screeners, so it gets a nomination like what happened with the far less deserving Croods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Lego should do it. Dreamworks has won it before. But WB has not and Lego has had stronger reception plus stronger BO. Nothing else will come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
