luna Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ok makes sense! Thank you. 2010 was such a great year for animated films in general. So many good animated films came out that year. This year has been dissapointing so far. 2009 was the best year - up, mary & max, coraline, fantastic mr fox, secret of kells, cloudy with a chance of meatballs... ...and then there's all the acclaimed ones i haven't seen - ponyo, waltz with bashir, princess and the frog, 9...

AniNate Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) This might be a surprise entry - Juan Jose Campanella's "Foosball" http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/argentine-animation-aims-high-foosball-589225 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o8_iHpXZyw They're saying it'll pretty much have to get international distribution in order to make money, so I expect it'll be submitted this year Edited July 19, 2013 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Brave is way better than Ralph.Brave was a half baked mother daughter princess movie - the trailers had me expecting an epic war of the bears vs Scotsmen type deal. They should have let Brenda Chapman do her bolder, darker vision.I consider it Pixars worst and only truly poor filmWreck it Ralph was the most Pixar-like film of 2012 and it had enough heart that I still feel it should have won Best Animated Feature. I remember nothing about Brave but I know all of the characters from Wreck it Ralph 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Any film that has a montage set to "Shut Up and Drive" loses the right to the label "Pixar-like" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Then a montage of a bear learning to fish in sync with cheesy interpretative dance style Celtic music loses that right as well.Wreck it Ralph was a lot more inspired that the same tired "princess disobeys parents and brings curse upon the land"If Pixar had made a dark LOTR/Dark Crystal style fairy tale with a grim vibe to it, then I'd give Brave some credit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 At least it wasn't a metaphor for sex that was completely out of place with the tone of the film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahnamahna Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 BRAVE was way better than WIR. Well Brave was Pixar's worst while I think Wreck it Ralph is Disney's best of the 21st century 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I just wish Hayao Miyazaki gets another Oscar some day. The fact Tarantino has two and Miyazaki has only one is depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingdong123 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 How many films are supposed to be nominated for this year? 3 or 5?Frozen better take the oscar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 (edited) Is The Wind Rises going to be eligible this year? If so, I would definitely call that the front runner. Ghibli hasn't won since Spirited Away, and the WWII subject matter is really going to make academy members giddy.

If they're smart they'll do a New York/L.A release in like november so it would be eligible. Its not that strong a year for american animations, so it would really have a chance if they dont bitch out and release it in 2014. I personally would love to see it win.

PatrickvD Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'd rather have Frozen win because WDAS has yet to win in the first place. Then release TWR next year so Ghibli can take hom their second Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
