A record 27 films have been submitted for Best Animated Movie Oscar.

>>87645432
How many will actually be watched by the judging committee?

>>87645754
Just the Disney ones.

>>87645432
Sorry, forgot one other.

The Secret Life of Pets.

>Ice Age
>Oscar
Yeah, good luck with that.

>>87645754
>the judging committee
Why even bother? it's no secret they don't watch any of the films and just pic what looks the cutest. The fans don't like it, pretty sure only 1 person on the committee likes it?

>>87645432
>Your name?
>kimi no na wa

Anime gets nominated for oscar? How?
It will win for sure though

Kubo
The Little Prince
The Red Turtle
Sausage Party

They deserve an award for not being the same recycled CG shit we see every year, I don't want disney to win again

Predictions:
>Finding Dory
>Kubo and the Two Strings
>The Little Prince
>Moana
>Sausage Party
>Zootopia

Final Winner: Zootopia.

B-but I really like it.

Zootopia is going to win and it's not even going to be a competition, since it's the biggest name of all of these.

>>87645432
Nominees:
>Finding Dory
>Kubo and the Two Strings
>Kung Fu Panda 3
>Moana
>Zootopia
The winner will be either Moana or Zootopia. Maaaaaaybe Kubo if the judges who bother to watch it consider it "artsy" enough, but that's a longshot.

Nominated? Dory, Ice Age, KFP 3, Zootopia, and either Kubo or Sing.

Win? Zootopia.

>>87646690
Yeah. It'll probably edge out KFP, no way they're dropping the Disney ones.

>>87646688

Theoretically, yes. But the chances are about as good as the Cubs winni...er, Donald Trump winni...uh...well, shit.

>Anime gets nominated for oscar? How?

So long as it has a theatrical release in the US, no matter how small, it can technically be considered eligible for an Oscar.

>So long as it has a theatrical release in the US, no matter how small, it can technically be considered eligible for an Oscar.

Nope. The Academy has specific rules on what is and is not eligible. Best Animated Feature has certain sub-rules to help determine if something qualifies as an animated film or is instead a live action film with a shitload of animated effects but otherwise have to fall under the general guidelines.

They have to be at least 40 minutes in length.
They have to be publicly exhibited by means of 35mm or 70mm film, or in a 24- or 48-frame progressive scan
Digital Cinema format (with a bunch of specific video and audio requirements that I'm not going to copy / post here).
They must be shown in a commercial film theatre in Los Angeles County, and exhibited with paid admission.
During the time they are shown in LA they must be exhibited for a run of at least seven consecutive days,during which period screenings must occur at least three times a day, with at least one screening beginning between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
daily.
They have to be advertised and exploited during their Los Angeles County qualifying run in a manner "normal and customary to theatrical feature distribution practices".
They must be released within the Awards year deadlines.

There are also a bunch of other rules that pertain to what happens if a film gets any sort of release outside of the standard theatrical run first (if it is released direct to video / online / tv first it's immediately disqualified unless it's a same day release with the theatrical release) or is initially screened outside LA county (this is a bit murkier but generally speaking it's fine unless the film through some weird circumstances winds up being eligible as a foreign film).


There are a lot of anime films that COULD be eligible if a company took the effort to give them a proper screening run in LA in order to meet the submission requirements but that usually doesn't happen.

>>87646531
I don't think Sausage Party will win.

I think Moana is also a strong contender for the winner, given the Oscar's methodology.

Kubo is what should win.

>>87646247
This isn't a nomination jackass its for submission to be nominated.
>>87646690
>>87646774
Both of you are fucking stupid. If any anime film gets nominated its Red Turtle

>tfw Kubo won't win
fuck 'em

>>87646626
Finding Dory made more money domestically than Zootopia

Don't count sausage party out

It's a known thing that most of the judges don't give a single shit about animation and have expressed disdain for anything made for children. They could easily give it to Sausage party.

Academy don't watch animated movies, their kids do.

Since Moana is closest to the ceremony and it's fucking DISNEY it's going to take the statue.

>>87645754
all of these 27 films will be screened at the academy to members of the animation division. only the ones that show up get to vote on what gets nominated. once the five nominations are chosen, then voting opens up to the academy at large.

nominations mean so much more than the actual winner since the nominations are chosen by people who actually work in the industry, the ones who know and care about animation. the winner is chosen by people who mostly don't give a fuck and just vote for what their kids liked, if they vote at all.

>>87647241
Lego Movie made more more than Big Hero 6 and it didn't even get a nomination. Certainly possible that they could toss it Dory's way, but Zootopia also has the advantage of social commentary subtext the Academy often likes.

Nice double doubles.
But honestly, that would be the biggest shocker/upset/trainwreck of all animated Oscars if it happens.

Aren't Moana and Zootopia from the same studio?
I thought it was one each

Dory will win obviously. Why even nominate any others?

Which is irrelevant now that Trump won

>>87647483
>but Zootopia also has the advantage of social commentary subtext the Academy often likes.
And Finding Dory is about the pain parents and friends have to go through dealing with a loved one with a mental illness. That shit is cat nip to them.

>>87647542
It's MORE relevant now that Trump won

>>87647483
The Academy is only in to racism and minorities now. That means Moana will win.

>>87647519

it's gonna get snubbed just like Lego Movie.

>>87647587
>minorities
Blacks*
No one gives a shit about natives

Predictions aside, how many of these have you seen or want to see? It seems like it's been a pretty good year for animation regardless.

>>87645432
If either The Little Prince, Kubo or Your Name win, I'll be happy. But it'll probably be Zootopia or Finding Dory.

Zootopia is 100% winning

You must have not been watching long enough to assume otherwise

That is an incredibly ridiculous list. Don't the studios have to put something together to show why these movies should win? None of the dreamworks shit should even be allowed to be nominated.

Finding Dory, Kubo, and Zootopia maybe because they had legit storylines. Kubo for its technical accomplishments if nothing else. Dory for promoting a child with disabilities' story as the main character. Zootopia for its modern-day take on aesop fables & bigotry.

Whatever the most popular Disney/Pixar movie is since the committee never watches any of the nominees and just picks whatever everyone talks about.

>>87647728
the marketing in japan was fucking genius
they focused on the japanese character, and since the title can refer to a single samurai or a bunch of samurai, in this case it refers to the japanese characters
also japan has a tom cruise day, this is why he was chosen as the protagonist of Edge of Tomorrow too

>>87647733
>>87647715

But we all know the Disney award will go to a Disney movie, probably Zootopia but maybe Finding Dory because muh strong and independent mentally handicapped protagonist

>>87647985
I find Zootopia to be an easier sell, considering the pushback against the election. Sure, it doesn't really pick a side, and it speaks out mostly in favour of nuance and individual merits/grey areas over stereotypes. But a lot of people like to gloss it over as "oppressed minorities," and I think the judges will be no exception.

Whenever this list comes out, I always try to post the websites and trailers of the limited release features. Let's go:

First the GKIDS distributed movies.

April and the Extraordinary World

http://www.gkids.com/films/april-and-the-extraordinary-world/

French sci-fi animation movie modelled after the work of Jacque Tardi. I caught it in April. As much as I love "Zootopia", that movie is my second favorite animated feature this year, with "April" as my favorite.

Miss Hokusai

Anime from Production IG about the life of Hokusai's daughter. I saw it and loved it for its 1814 Tokyo setting and its beautiful artwork, but there's no overall plot, just vignettes.

My Life as a Zucchini

Oh, yeah. This is the joint production between Studio Ghibli and a French studio. Sony Pictures Classics is distributing this movie in the US. Hmm, the website says it will come out in NY/LA in January. I'm assuming they're going to do that in November or December instead? Either way, the US distribution elsewhere will be next year.

All the films I've listed so far I've either already seen or want to see. The remaining movies, not so much.

Bilal: a New Breed of Hero

http://www.bilalmovie.com/

A movie from the United Arab Emirates about Bilal, the first Muezzin (the guy who calls to prayer from a minaret), and an ally of the Prophet Mohammed.

Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV

http://www.kingsglaivefinalfantasyxv-movie.com/

This is the first time I heard of this Final Fantasy movie getting released. It came out last August. I wonder if there's anyone named Sid in the movie.

>Which will win?
Zootopia has "themes relatable to current world events" or whatever, so it's sure to win.
Either that or Finding Dory, because it's a Pixar sequel and the Academy already knows Finding Nemo, since they gave an Oscar to that one already.

What will win: Zootopia
What should win: Miss Hokusai

Monkey King: Hero is Back

http://www.monkeykinghero.com/

This is a Chinese movie with Jackie Chan as the Monkey King. It came out on DirecTV, but the preview didn't interest me enough to watch.

Anyone feel like raging? These are from oscar animation voters from 2014

I only watch the ones that my kid wants to see, so I didn’t see [The] Boxtrolls but I saw Big Hero 6 and I saw [How to Train Your] Dragon [2]. We both connected to Big Hero 6 — I just found it to be more satisfying. The biggest snub for me was Chris Miller and Phil Lord not getting in for [The] Lego [Movie]. When a movie is that successful and culturally hits all the right chords and does that kind of box-office — for that movie not to be in over these two obscure freakin’ Chinese fuckin’ things that nobody ever freakin’ saw [an apparent reference to the Japanese film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya, as well as the Irish film Song of the Sea]? That is my biggest bitch. Most people didn’t even know what they were! How does that happen? That, to me, is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.
MY VOTE: Big Hero 6
Voter #6: I saw all five. I like to sit down with [the young people in her family] and watch them. We all loved Big Hero 6 and there was no discussion, no argument, no nothing. The kids watched that one three times — what does that tell you?
MY VOTE: Big Hero 6
Voter #1: If you can call anything a “snub,” this year, it was The Lego Movie, which was one of the best movies of the year. I don’t know what happened there, but it is inconceivable to me. Of the five they did nominate, my favorite is Big Hero 6, which was adorable and original.
MY VOTE: Big Hero 6

Interesting. The limited release movies on the submitted list outnumber the wide release movies 17 to 12.

And here are animated movies that got releases in US theaters that are not on the Submission list. Some are too short, some might've been released too late after their original release, some didn't get the obligatory week long NY/LA release, and some (I assume the wide releases) I guess they just didn't give a damn.

Worse. Warner backstabbed "Lego" by not even submitting the movie.

>>87650989

>>87645432
The nominees will be

Finding Dory, because Pixar
Either Kubo and the Two Strings or Your Name, because every year needs one freaking chinese fucking thing as padding.
Moana, because Disney

Zootopia will win unless Moana becomes a huge surprise that really resonates with kids and adult women.

>>87645432

>Finding Dory
>Moana
>Kubo
>Zootopia
>Red Turtle

I could see them knocking Finding Dory off the list if only because giving three nominations to Disney in the same year may be perceived as bias. If they do, then i'd put Little Prince as the next most likely to take its place.

>>87652081
>Either Kubo and the Two Strings or Your Name, because every year needs one freaking chinese fucking thing as padding.
Kubo was made by Laika though and the main characters are voiced mostly by celebrities.

>>87651905
>>87651822
>Girls Und Panzer: der Film

I actually just watched this, it was pretty fucking awesome. The entire second half is arguably the best tank battle put to film.

>>87651822
Only Yesterday was actually made back in 1991 and wasn't dubbed until this year, so it might not technically be eligible.

Norm of the North is a piece of shit, which is why it's not in the Oscar race.

>>87650816
Waifu sense tingling.

The only reason the Best Animated Feature catagory exists is because like fuck the Academy was going to let kiddie shit come close to winning Best Picture. And according to them, all animation is kiddie shit.

>>87653499
Japan eventually created the same category for some reason. They had already awarded best picture to an animated movie twice.

>>87647856
Kubo's animation is astounding but it's story is lackluster at best. I'd rather Zootopia or Your Name win.

>>87645432
2016 just isn't crazy enough yet, so Your Name will get nominated and win.

Sausage Party will win.

Nominees:

- The Red Turtle (for muh Ghibli; also token foreign film nominee)
- Moana (for Gisnep and black lives matter, even though she's Polynesian)
- Zootopia (for Gisnep and muh racism again)
- Finding Dory (le Pixar)

Yeah, like I said, some of these movies came out too much later after their original releases in their home countries to qualify, with OY being an extreme example. I think it's also true for "Yo-Kai Watch: the Movie", which came out in Japan in 2014.

Note that this is the submission list, where anybody can submit any film provided it fits the rules from >>87647093 The makers of "Norm" could've submitted it; it had shit chance of a nom of course, but it still could've been submitted.

2015: Inside Out (Anomalisa; Boy & the World; Shaun the Sheep Movie; When Marnie Was There) Pixar - The Good Dinosaur

Disney/Pixar have won 10 out of 15 times, and have not lost since 2011.

>>87662573

Out of the selection, they went with a middlin' animation flick that was just an animated Marvel show with a bit of extra budget.

i think Ernest&Celestine should win, Frozen is garbage.

>>87663246
I don't have it from that same site, but www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/yearly/ lists years back to 2002. Some of the titles might technically be in different years because while Box Office Mojo lists The Force Awakens as a 2015 release, World of KJ's thread has it as a 2016 one because they got it later.

>>87663281
agreed. both frozen and DM2 is just garbage made to sell toys

>>87663246
took these numbers from box office mojo like >>87663296 said. Just the #1's for the past few years. All amounts are in USD.

2015: Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 97m (guess this counts for 2015 and 2016)
2014: Frozen - 249m (goddamn)
2013: Kaze tachinu (The Wind Rises) - 119m
2012: Umizaru 4 - 91m
2011: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 - 124m
2010: Alice in Wonderland - 133m

>>87663311

the demand for these toys was insane, all thanks to that fucking song.

>>87663095
Zootopia was a smash hit in Japan, Frozen was a mega super hit.

Only Rapunzel failed at the box-office, because it came out just after 2011's big tsunami disaster.

To be fair, what we should do first is approve WDAS's great achievement, and say "You Deserve It!", and thank the Oscars for treating DISNEY/PIXAR very well.

>>87663296
>>87663313

Actually, they didn't get Star Wars later. Force Awakens released in Japan around the same time as most the rest of the world and it was China that got a delayed release into January. I guess that other site is tallying money that Star Wars earned during early 2016 as part of the 2016 yearly total, and Box Office Mojo is saying it released in 2015, so its entire total is counted towards the 2015 chart.

I must get this straight, WDAS is deep and mature, and those jap animes are childish and shit.

Look at Your Name, it's nothing but just a teen movie.

>>87663095
Also worth mentioning Japan likes the movie as a funny talking animal movie, they are not aware of the racial subtexts because racism isn't as ingrained in their culture as it is in the west.

The owner in that image runs a studio that has never produced anything outside of one or two things nobody has ever heard of. The studio exists to give production support to other studios. So in any case they don't get to make what they want to make.

If we assume he is speaking on behalf of the industry, he is still wrong because 1) people in the industry like the "obsessive fan market" anime just as the fans do, and 2) even at the time this was recorded there was plenty of "serious" and "mature" anime being made. Such anime continues to be released every season (e.g. Drifters, Poco's Udon World and The Great Passage this season). The fact that he wasn' and isn't the one making it doesn't mean anything.

Drifters has those quality in the way a fourteen year old thinks they are mature and serious.

>>87663621
>>87663629
Drifters is the sort of anime that Westerners have a hard-on. It's violent and manly. So in other words it's "mature."

Poco's Udon World is mostly about adults discussing mundane adult issues. The protagonist left his small home town to go to Tokyo, came back after his father died, and is now having second thoughts about what he wants to do.

The Great Passage is about a publishing company working on a dictionary. The live action version of the novel won best picture in Japan and was submitted for the Oscars.

>>87663646
*have a hard-on for

Zootopia deserves next year's Oscar anyway.
John Lasseter will go down as the symbol of 3D animation, just like Walt Disney went down as the symbol of 2D animation.
I can't wait to listen to this, the Zootopia team mention him in their winning speech, "thank you Mr. Lasseter for leading us to this victory! the best boss in the world!"

Drifters is exactly the kind of show that Westerners think of as mature adult anime.

As for that image, manga is way more popular than comic books.

You fuckers need to see this. It might not have an IMDb page, but it has a trailer, and BOY what a trailer it is. It changed my life.

I want Sausage Party to win just for the shitstorm.
Imagine if it wins and parents start buying it for their kids because they thought it was a kids movie. Hell, it might actually be happening because it got nominated.

Nice

>>87664433
>>furfags who wanted Zootopia to win start rioting in the streets and killing themselves

...all five of them?

>>87645432
Kubo will be included but never REALLY considered(which will make /co/ justifiably butthurt)
Zootopia was probably the most popular and win
Trolls will prolly somehow be up there simply cause it is more recent therefore slightly more remembered that most these others
Hopefully Sausage Party will be left off otherwise even being Considered we'll never hear the end of it.
Maybe April and the Extraordinary World cause gotta have some more foreign biz (but like Kubo no way of winning and /co/ gets butthurt)

The fuck is My Life as a Zucchini?

These are my only real problems with that list
Also damn, 2006 was a sad year for animation.

>>87664914
Stop motion movie about orphans. It's actually quite good.

>>87665213
This. I actually think it'll get a nom as this year's token GKids entry.

>>87664914
The majority of people on /co/ would never get butthurt about a movie like April and the Extraordinary World because they're too dumb to even know what it is, let alone watch it.

>>87655346
I'd agree, but they did give a trophy to Logoland awhile back, so they might be as highbrow as originally thought.

>>87647715
Why did they like Titanic so much?

Why are you surprised, these movies have "Disney's Quality Seal" , this year Moana will get the Oscars because its a catchy musical about a princess.
Fantastic mr. Fox summed it all nicely.

>>87645432
If Kubo doesn't win I will flip a fucking tit.

>>87666109
Come on, you already know it's not gonna win. Why kid yourself

No. Anime fans just believe anything that's Japanese deserves a nomination regardless of quality

>>87655655
The judges all get DVD sets of everything they are judging
Even so they still don't watch them all sometimes

>>87666430
Anti-anime activists believe anything that's Japanese must be bad and can't deserve a nomination.

Trolls or Zootopia will win, calling it now.

Sausage Party told to fuck off.

>>87653190
>I could see them knocking off the top grossing film of the year off the list

You're not this stupid are you? Unless Moana becomes the next fucking Frozen then you bet your ass it won't get nominated.

>>87665152
I truly loved Fantastic Mr. Fox but Up clearly was the best animated movie.

Officially the single most generic anime poster I have ever seen in my entire god damn life

Up literally only had one good scene followed by a run-of-the-mill meh movie.

>>87666518
It's easily recognizable as a Makoto Shinkai movie, and I don't remember seeing a poster with that kind of composition before. So what makes it generic?

>>87665152
>Finding Nemo beat TToB
>Up beat Fantastic Mr. Fox

Nothing wrong here

>>87666532
Damn. I'm sure its put through a digital filter and all but the Rock sounds pretty damned good

>>87666559
Pixar, Pixar and of course, Brave is a princess movie.

>>87666555
>It's easily recognizable as a Makoto Shinkai movie
Who?
>and I don't remember seeing a poster with that kind of composition before
Then your a fucking newshit like everyone who praises Your Name

>>87666612
I love how it doesn't even matter if Pixar makes a good movie anymore people will still shit on them winning anything.

>>87666634
>Who?
The auteur behind the movie. His movies have a distinct visual style to them.

>Then your a fucking newshit
No, you are.

>>87666532
Yep just like Big Hero 6 right?

>>87666645
Also it's pretty ironic that you've never even heard of Makoto Shinkai yet you call me a newshit.

>>87666645
>His movies have a distinct visual style to them.
>Lots of filter and CG

Okay

>>87666650

exactly, BH6 was meh at best,

>>87666672
Nobody gives a shit about your opinion on the style or how you think it works. It is still a recognizable style.

>>87666555
>It's easily recognizable as a Makoto Shinkai movie
You can be recognizably generic, but I would have guessed Mamoru Hosoda so this isn't even that.

>>87666679
>It is still a recognizable style.
>Used by everyone

Okay

>>87666700
Makoto Shinkai has a visual style recognizable as his own, therefore it is not a generic style.

>>87666716
>aping Mamoru Hosoda
>recognizable as his own
No.

>>87666716
>Makoto Shinkai has a visual style recognizable as his own
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZyh5T6P-V4
Oh look a 30 second commercial did the exact same thing as Your Name.

>>87666751
He doesn't ape Mamoru Hosoda. He has a very different style.

>>87666754
That's recognizably Kyoto Animation. It doesn't look like Shinkai.

>Kimi no na wa

I hope the hype for this one is justified, haven't seen it yet and I'm afraid it'll be a letdown like The Boy and The Beast was (for me).

>>87666764
>It doesn't look like Shinkai.
>Abundance of CG and filters
If it quacks like a duck...

>>87666783
>I hope the hype for this one is justified
Its not. Dear god its not. Saw the film and the story is generic and cliche as shit like every Shinkai work with the visuals being the only highlight. Its only getting buzz in Japan due to how well its doing which I can only point to them being starved for fresh content in the same vain something as mediocre as Frozen did so well here. The movie doesn't have to be good it just has to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

>>87666788
CG and digital effects are commonly used in anime. You might as well say Shinkai looks the same as Disney because they both use hand-drawn animation.

>>87666783
Here's all you need to know about Your Name's appeal

>>87666836
>Saw the film and the story is generic and cliche as shit like every Shinkai work
But they aren't generic and cliche.

>Its only getting buzz in Japan due to how well its doing
Well no shit it's getting buzz by being the number one movie of the year and one of the highest grossing movies of all time.

>which I can only point to them being starved for fresh content
They aren't.

>The movie doesn't have to be good it just has to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Lowest common denominator doesn't mean what you think it does.

>>87666842
>CG and digital effects are commonly used in anime
So there's nothing unique about Shinkai's style

>>87666879
>N--n-n-n-n-n-n-no U!
Why is this fanbase so damn triggered?

>>87666897
Shinkai's style does not mean that he uses CG and digital effects. Everyone uses CG and digital effects.

I can't explain to you what exactly his style consists of, and I don't need to. It just is self-evidently and recognizably his own style.

>>87666916

Criticism is something foreign to them because there's no possibly way something that's successful in Japan being actually bad.

Just because someone presents what they think is criticism doesn't mean it is valid criticism.

>>87666986
No, you are a fucking idiot. There is no need to break down his style and explain what it consists of it. It simply is self-evidently his style. It's recognizably his. And there's nothing you can do about it.

>>87667064
Again: I don't have to explain it. I don't need to explain. It is SELF-EVIDENTLY his own recognizable style. You see it and you think that must be Makoto Shinkai.

Just fuck off already. You have no means of winning this argument.

>>87667079
I already responded to his so-called criticism.

The only way I will be able to take Oscars semi-seriously in the least would be if every person who voted for one of the nominees was required to watch every single nominee in that category. At least if that was the case I could just chalk it up to them having shit taste, rather than voting out of pure ignorance.

>>87667098
I liked the few films of Makoto Shinkai I've seen, though I haven't seen Kimi no Na wa yet.
But holy fuck, no one can be this retarded. Now I'm sure you're just false-flagging.

>>87667185
I am not retarded. You are retarded.
