Mojoguy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) It is very tough for sequels to win, unless it is truly exceptional like Toy Story 3. Toy Story 3 is still the ONLY animated sequel to win the BAF Oscar after 13 years. Not even the pop cultural phenomenon and blockbuster Shrek 2 could get the win! Dragon is showing early signs of being neither. Edited June 19, 2014 by Mojoguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's more because Incredibles is a masterpiece 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Lots of people would argue Lego Movie is too. I agree. Granted, I haven't seen Dragon 2 yet, but LEGO is still my number one of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSabrinax Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Shrek won the Oscar in the first movie. They wouldn't give another for the sequel. By the way, you need to learn more from Frozen. Too much hate in your 'little' heart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAtGender Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's interesting how people are calling the competition for Lego (or HTTYD2) when there are at least five potential contenders that haven't even been released yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to imagine anyone overtaking Lego. It's got a huge head start. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Not a problem. WB can bombard the voters with LEGO screeners, so it gets a nomination like what happened with the far less deserving Croods. Of course it's gonna get a nomination unless we get four more brilliant films and this becomes the greatest year for animation. But I was talking about the chances of its win.Croods deserved a nom far more than DM2 BTW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's hard to imagine anyone overtaking Lego. It's got a huge head start.Funny. The first RT review I read for HTTYD2 claimed IT had the Oscar in the bag as it was emotionally deeper than Lego. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAtGender Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's hard to imagine anyone overtaking Lego. It's got a huge head start.I fully expect Lego and Dragon to have nominations. I don't think either is necessarily a shoe in to win. We have to see how The Boxtrolls, Book of Life, and BH6 turn out for domestic films. And both When Marnie was There and Song of the Sea could make noise as well.Lego only has a head start in the sense that it came out first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose one of them could end up transcending expectations, but when a film gets the best reviews of any animated film in the last four years, you can't bet against it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoguy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Also unlike the year Brave inexcusably won, the voters can't get lazy and vote for Pixar just because it's Pixar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukaio101 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Wolf Children should've won that year. And it wasn't even nominated... Out of the nominations we did get, however, I'd have preferred to have seen Paranorman win. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
