Mojoguy 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. What's Wolf Children? That's the reason it wasn't nominated.

rukaio101 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 What's Wolf Children? That's the reason it wasn't nominated. And even more proof that the Oscars are populist tripe. (Christ, I just used the words 'populist tripe' in a sentence. I almost feel film-snobbish. I'd better go watch Pacific Rim and get that sorted out.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to balance it though if you only award indy films that nobody watched the award loses legitimacy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukaio101 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 You have to balance it though if you only award indy films that nobody watched the award loses legitimacy Why? If you're awarding based on film quality, then why does awarding indy films cause the award to lose legitimacy? If the indy is very very good and people who see it winning the award then watch it and agree, then surely that would only make the award more legitimate. Also, Wolf Children was the 5th highest grossing film in Japan in 2012 so it's hardly 'indie'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Wolf Children never got an awards screener. Blame Funimation for not pushing it. Edited June 21, 2014 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Rewatched Ralph yesterday. It's ten times more brilliant than I remembered it as being. The thought of Brave winning over it makes me cry now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them both, but I think Brave is a slightly better movie. I am glad it won. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalel009Shel Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 And one thing haven't you seen those 2 films..? oh god, you are missing two beautiful films Superman.GO, SEE IT!M Mission accompolished Ash buddy!!! : ) My god Dragon is way better than Frozen. .The best animated film perhaps since the incredibles and Nemo...Makes Toy Storie movies look like nothing.. And whats more Dragon looks and feels epic, they dont need a singing gig to help power their film to great numbers. Its sheer quality animation with storytelling and there are dark outcomes for our beloved characters....Cant wait for 3 and hopefully 4 now Ash and my dragon family. I saw it twice and both showings had tons of claps... Now i need to see the 3D Imax version 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalel009Shel Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Top films of 2014 must be updated. Now its Number 1....Cap 2. 2. How to To Train a Dragon 2... This one is close, I mean tears run down both kids, and adults eyes...Dragon 2 is that good indeed. Listen to Ash I was really impressed . nice lil date as well 3. Xmen 2014. 4.

I was shocked on how much better it is than the first.. Wow... 9.8 out of 10. Only a few animated films I cant think of are as good or better... Incredible achievement Dreamworks. I hope you guys get in a bundle ..Ash you picked a real winner my friend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Whats Ralph Spidey Freak? The greatest animation of 2012. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redgarlic68 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) My predictions: Noms HTTYD2 Lego Something from abroad (Song of the Sea?) (Boxtrolls) (Book of Life/BH6) The first two are locked, the third because GK has a high success rate with those little international films that end up winning the Academy's hearts, and Song of the Sea is from the same studio that made Secret of Krells, so they shouldn't be dismissed so easily. The last two spots are indeterminated because I don't know if there are enough animation films this year to make it to five noms. Boxtrolls becuase Laika makes good animation movies, Laika makes great stopmotion, Laika's two films so far have been nommed (but in five noms years, mind you) so why not. The last spot is up for grabs, Book of Life looks SO lovely, but I have seen so little from it so far, and the animation style might be divisive. Big Hero 6 is Disney, ok, but it's also a CBM, and that may go against it in the end. Winner Who knows to be honest, I wish with all my heart for Dragon 2 to be the winner (I disliked The Lego Movie more than anyone else, maybe because I was never into Legos in my childhood), but there are too many movies to be seen, and both movies might fall from grace until voting time. Pendant until nominations announcement. ETA: I don't know if the score from HTYD2 is eligible for the oscar (there are many recurrent themes from the first movie) but if it is it will be nominated as well, and I don't see any other animated film having a second nomination. So that. Edited June 23, 2014 by redgarlic68 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rem the cool toon show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
