It's still insulting that Big Hero 6 won the Oscar that year.

/co/ is fucking stupid. Are you underage?

>>87985247
It was good, but not as good as Inside Out

>>87985247
Insulting, but not surprising. The majority of Oscar voters don't watch animated films besides Disney because those are the ones their kids drag them to see. GKIDS films have zero marketing and have a limited theater run in the US, so of course no kid is gonna drag their parent to see it.

>>87985301
Probably, but also Dreamworks keeps it up

didn't one of the oscar people say something like
"never heard of that chinese shit"

>>87986425
can't make this shit up

Who cares? It's the nomination that matters. That's the part that's actually decided on by those in the industry, the winner is just a popularity contest.

>>87985247
What's with the incredible amount of hate for BH6? Yeah, something besides that should've won, but Jesus some of you guys act like it's the worst movie ever.

The whole Animation category is a huge waste to be honest. Only American animated movies with a ton of marketing stand a chance, and Disney/Pixar is pretty much the winner every year.

Nominated movies might make moviegoers interested in seeing these films, but honestly the majority of Americans don't care about seeing foreign animated films no matter how good they are. Animation as a whole to them is just a fun little distraction and nothing more.

Nobody hates it, the majority thinks it's an okay film. People are just upset that an average film beat a bunch of other superb films in the Oscars.

Is there no awards show just for the animation industry? Clearly the Academy doesn't care about animation and there are too many genera and styles of animation to asses them under the banner of "best cartoon"

>>87985202
But this was a fucking great movie.

There is a general "Best Animated Feature" award, but most of the Oscar voting panel have admitted to not even watching all the movies nominated. Most of the time Disney wins just because it is Disney, because that's the only one they watched or the only one they even recognized.

The Annies is what you want if you're entertainment focused. An award show completely for animation with awards ranging from best animated feature to best TV show. I think it's alright, but it's a bit American-biased:

However, if you're international artistry focused, the Anncey Animated Film Festival is a very high honor. The judges have really sharp taste in animation and it's not a popularity award.

Well its good to know there's some recognition within the industry at least.
What are the BAFTAs like for animation?

>>87988743
Just the same Animated Feature and Short categories. Animated feature winners reflect the winners of the Oscars (mostly Disney and Pixar winning, but at least Lego Movie actually got nominated and won that year), but the shorts are mostly British dominated.

I watched it with my mom and afterwards we had this conversation:
>Where was this made, son?
>Ireland, I think.
>Wow, I didn't know they made anime there.

>Coraline and Mary & Max both won that year.
>Fantastic Mr. Fox got nominated, but actually won this time.

>>87989044
Yeah, the films that should have won in the Academy actually won here.

OP, you might try looking at the film from the perspective of a fairytale. You sound like you're analyzing it from the standard pattern of a modern tales. But you should consider the mystic elements fairytales, the frequently non-human motivations of characters involved. You'll find it is better written than you're giving it credit for.

Bland Hero 6 was boring, uninteresting, and predictable. People hate it because it continues to get accolades for being something above mediocre but has never delivered.

>>87985276
Nah it was better than Inside Out. But not by much.
