Best Animated Feature - 2016: Zootopia, Moana, Kubo, Zucchini, Red Turtle

[cookie]

Zootopia

Finding Dory

Moana

Kubo

The Red Turtle

 

I think it's basically a battle among the top three provided Moana stacks up.

Zoo is overrated but is still the frontrunner. I am skeptical about Moana.

The movie isn't scheduled for a theatrical release in North America right now; A release in LA is required for any movie to be eligible.

It's only releasing on Netflix right now, that doesn't make it eligible.

Read the news carefully, the film will be released simultaneously in streaming system and in selected cinemas. Netflix will release in theaters to have chance to Oscar.

The link he posted says it's simultaneously being released in theaters and on Netflix.

[WrathOfHan]

Ok, my mistake.

As much as I love Zootopia and Dory, I want The Red Turtle to win because that one's fantastic.

By critical consensus, Zootopia is the better received film than any out of the Renaissance. Based on their history, I don't see Clements and Musker delivering something on that level as a film. Their storytelling and characterization sensibilities don't quite get there.

 

Now, if we're talking about music, then, sure, Moana should be well on top. The music is the weakest part of Zootopia, though.

 

Does critical consensus make such a difference when the percentages are pretty close to each other and when most of the critics who rated Zootopia and the Renaissance films aren't even the same people?

 

Also, it's not like music played the same limited role in Aladdin/TLM/will play in Moana that it did in Zootopia. For a musical, the music and songs are obviously a much stronger driving force of storytelling and characterizations than a non-musical. The songs have to be considered while talking about characterizations and storytelling in a musical. 

 

I agree that M&C's post-Aladdin ventures have been lacking, but if they manage to recapture the magic of Aladdin and Mermaid, which is very possible with LMM and The Rock on board, then I could see Moana seriously giving Zootopia a run for its money. And Moana also has the edge with a much closer to awards season release date. So it just needs to be more Aladdin/TLM than TPatF.

I don't think awards seasons matters as much for the Animated Feature category as it does for Best Picture.

Usually it doesn't but if there is a spectacular animated movie released in the awards season that is at least on par with the animated movies released in the summer or before then I think that movie may have an edge. That's one reason I think even Dory may have a better chance than Zootopia at the big win as it will be fresher in folks' minds but right now I'm just speculating. It will be an interesting year for the category no matter what. More years like this one plz.

It boils down to what the voters' children or grandchildren loved the most that ends up winning the animated award nowadays.

I have been suspicious for months that KFP3 might take it.  Now that Dory is out, I do not think Dory will win.  It looks like Pets might not even be nominated....

 

my predicts as of now...

 

1. KFP3

2. Zootopia

3. Moana

4. Dory

5. Kubo and the Two Strings

 

5 mainstream movies nominated this year!!!

hmm I correct myself.  I just checked out KFP3's rotten tomato page and I have never seen the movie....  If it was between Zootopia and Dory, I would predict a tie...

Lol, you seriously made that prediction without that info? I might as well say that Ice Age 5 is going to win.

it might b fun if you get a job with Blue Sky studios in the winter as part of the team that campaigns for Ice Age 5 during the awards season.  Perhaps you could be in charge of designing and decorating various Ice Age 5 campaign posters.
