I must have missed the threads, but since Pixar, Illumination, Sony, and Dreamworks were all shut out and there are two stop motion films in the running, what's the betting line like now? Which movie is /co/ backing?
>>
>>89518454
I'm worried that "Moana" will win because it was the most recently released Disney movie. It's not bad, but there were other movies that deserved the nom more, let along the win.

I still haven't seen "My Life as a Zucchini" and "Red Turtle" yet. For now, I honestly think "Zootopia" is the best of the nominated movies.
>>
>>89518494

I'm disappointed by the exclusion of Long Way North, Your Name, and Miss Hokusai, but also extremely relieved that Trolls and Sausage Party didn't make the cut either.

I've not seen My Life as a Zucchini, but it better be something special to push Long Way North out of a spot.

Zootopia is a good bet, but I'm hoping it splits the votes with Moana and Kubo gets the nod instead. Not their best movie, but Laika deserves the recognition.

Obviously Zootopia will win everything.

The Red Turtle is beautiful but not very engaging and pretty weird, conceptually.

My Life as a Zucchini is just sad orphans doing sad things.

Kubo and the Two Strings is forgettable.

Moana is very by-the-numbers and doesn't have much flair of its own, despite being good overall.
>>
>>89518633
>Your Name, and Miss Hokusai,
Opinion discarded
>>
>>89518454
My hope is Kubo
My bet is Zootopia or Moana
>>
>>89518454
I like Moana and Kubo better than Zootopia, but Zootopia tells it's story better

I haven't watched the other two, but I probably will and would definitely if I was in the deciding panel
>>
I feel Zootopia already got enough recognition, and the rest should go to Kubo, even though I liked Moana more than both of them.
>>
>>89518757

I'm betting Disney is pushing Moana harder anyway, because its box office could use the Oscar bump.

>>89518454

I've not had a chance to see My Life as a Zucchini or The Red Turtle yet.

Of the lot, I'd like to see Kubo win just because it's a fine film and Laika deserves some love. I'd be fine with Zootopia winning though.

I'm baffled by the decision to nominate How Far I'll Go rather than You're Welcome for Best Song though if only because the latter would have made for a great live performance.
>>
>>89518633
Haven't seen Your Name or Long way North, but Miss Hokusai was underwhelming. The Boy and the Beast I would've rooted for, but otherwise this year's nominees are solid
>>
>>89518934
Yeah, don't really get why How Far I'll Go got nominated over the others, other than just being an average princess song. Your Welcome or Shiny are great songs, How Far I'll Go is just so forgettable and sounds unremarkable
>>
Of all of these movies I don't get why Moana was nominated, it was so damn boring.

My bet is Zootopia, directors of this movie try everything to make it as relevant as possible: "zootopia has hidden message for Trump", and there was something about #BLM recently.It's cringe but whatever, I like movies with talking animals, so I root for zoot.
>>
>>89518972

I liked all the films I've seen too. I just felt Red Turtle was a bit too thin, while Moana is another Disney formula pic. However finely executed it was, it's more of the same.

Long Way North and Your Name were both striking in their visuals, with the former having a very original look. I would have no qualms about giving Red Turtle's spot to either of them.
>>
>>89518454
Moana - 3:1
Zootopia - 9:1
Kubo - 20:1
Red Turtle: 80:1
My Life as a Zucchini - 500:1

Long Way North is splendid. Gripping, offers multiple levels of reading, is set in an unusual place and period, talks about sea, exploration, values and comradry, and it has a rebellious teenager female protagonist done right in that she rebels for a reason and not just because fuck da police, and it actually causes her harm since tsarist russia wasn't the most open of societies
A true movie for the whole family. Beautiful too.
IMO far superior to the red turtle, if we have to compare indie movies.

It's a bit limited by its rather short format and its need to be G-rated I'm pretty sure they eat the dogs at some point, but it takes place between the scenes.

>>89520520
IIRC, Red Turtle is dutch-directed japan-animated, while Zucchini is swiss.
>>
>>89520600
Red Turtle is has been mostly animated in Europe.
>>
the world's beloved ZOOTOPIA absolutely deserves to be nominated and win an Oscar by unanimous assent.

freaking chinese stop-mo KUBO, no one saw, even don't have a japanese wikipedia page, despite its ancient jap story.

How is this even a comparison??????
>>
>>89520614
You're right, it's been entirely animated in France. Dudok de Wit only went to japan for some help on the storyboard. Wonder how it was recieved in Japan, since it's co-produced by Ghibli.

Not exactly, Red Turtle is french, belgian and japanese, however it was co-written by a dutch. And zucchini is swiss and french, actually the film is an adaptation of a french novel.

We live in a Bizarro world.

^This.

Long Way North created more genuine tension with its slow moving, creaking glaciers than all the effects-laden action sequences of Moana. It also has one of the most believable, strong female leads who wasn't just "better than the boys" or a magical princess, but gained the respect of her crew through determination, honor, and humility.

It's the anti-Hollywood animated blockbuster.

>>89520593

It was eligible and submitted, didn't make the cut. Botched theatrical run didn't help.
>>
>>89520764
At least the academy can tell when something's complete shit.

Speaking of which, anyone else glad Sausage Party didn't nom? I recall frequent threads of /co/ worried it would get in, but that never happened. Again, the acad can tell when something's festering shit.

As I understand it, the nominees are largely chosen by people in the animation guild or some other connection to animation. These voters were never going to support a film that screwed its own animators so hard.

I know this is just shitposting, but honestly this isn't a bad year. There's nothing on the nominee list that's obviously shit that doesn't deserve to be there, much as some people might have a beef with the Disney picks.

They even kept Pixar off the list for once. Granted it was a sequel to a former winner so not an unexpected snub, but still.

I'd consider Moana to be formulaic garbage that knows it's garbage and doesn't deserve to be there, but that's just me.

Also, I miss legitimate Disney villains. Ever since the Innocent Deceiver came about, we lost guys like Scar, Jafar and Ursula. Seriously, Shiny is the most Disney Villain-esque song in years, and it's for a character who barely factors into the plot.

>>
>>89521329
I'd say it's more of a way for companies to get more money off the movie, since it adds one more label they can use to get money. If something won an Oscar, people want to see it, so people buy the home release in droves, and money flows in like crazy.

That's literally all it is: a trap for normies to make themselves richer so they can bribe the judges next year..
>>
>>89518454
>Pixar, Illumination, Sony, and Dreamworks were all shut out
Why?
>>
>>89521232
Probably all that bundled together. It's a movie with surprisingly low stakes on the surface (teenage girl trying to find what happened to her grandfather and save his reputation). But it manages to create endearing characters, so you end up totally invested in their struggles.
I mean, it's a french movie, but it could have been made in russia considering how much it will make your root for russian polar exploration.

And sweet jesus, those facial expressions and silences. I've never seen people exchange so many things without a word in any other movie.
In the end, I would say that it's lovingly crafted and not pretentious at all.

I've heard that development was kind of hellish, with multiple drafts from various authors; I'm glad it turned out ok.

$240M is hardly a flop, it's just not quite the breakout hit Zootopia was, especially internationally. It did get passed up by Sing a couple weekends ago, and despite increasing its theater count by roughly 50% this weekend, presumably in response to Oscar nomination, Moana's still way down there where it's out of most theaters that aren't either second-run cinemas or massive multiplexes with enough screens to run a dozen-plus different movies.

>>
>>89521329
Moana came out more recently so it has the edge.
>>
>>89524702
I don't think it's Disney pushing brown people. I think it's probably the Asian market's lack of interest in watching them. Asia can make a huge difference in a film's outcome.
>>
>>89524702
Zootopia was supposed to be Disney's B movie for the year and it has made something around twice Moana's grossings.

People just don't care about Brown Disney characters for shit, /co/ proves me wrong again.
>>
>>89524702
They only really pulled it from theaters because the DVD got released. And even then it managed to do what only two other movies in the past decade did, which was spend over 12 weekends in the top ten. The other two were Avatar and Frozen.
>>
>>89525616

>Zootopia was supposed to be Disney's B

I think we got that off this article that came out right after the first teaser trailer.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2015/06/12/zootopia-and-the-disney-animated-b-movie/

I think we're mostly judging its B-movie-ness by when they released the film. It wasn't in Finding Dory's date to take advantage of summer vacation, it wasn't in Moana's date to take advantage of the holiday season, they just went "Eh, we'll stick it in March." and it took off anyway.

Worldwide stands at 533M currently. Assuming a 150M budget, Moana has turned a profit of around 50~100 million from box office alone.

Which is nice, but the Illumination movies that have half the budget to do 1B in theaters have skewed everyone's expectations.
