Thoughts?

>>90183519
It's gonna be Zootopia. What more needs to be said?

/a/ BTFO once again.

Also has anyone in actually seen Zucchini? I wasn't aware of it's existence until it got nominated.

>>90183531
As much as I want this, Moana will probably win.

Nah,, Moana, the butthurt will be glorious

Kubo is boring
Moana is forgettable
Zucchini is sad kids doing sad things
Turtle is 2deep4oscars
Zootopia is just bland enough and exciting enough to win.

>>90183519
that sure is a list

does the zucchini one happen to star Rob Schneider?

>>90183519
Can't wait to see ZOOTOPIA beat up KUBO the MEME STING, and LAIKA shills will whine about the result like fucking losers as we all expected.

>Zootopia
>Bland

I agree, Original Zootopia was much more interesting, this scene alone is Oscar worthy:

Unfortunately it was too dark for kids to handle. Sad, but money talks.

>>90184111
Come on. That scene is pretty unnerving, even for kids.

Is it a good scene with emotional impact? Yes. Would I include it in a children's movie about talking animals? Fuck no.

>>90183670
so why do you watch movies
stop being such a demotivate cunt
wake up
you didn't lose anything

>>90184111

shit, that was depressing.

>>90183644
Is this the real trailer?
It makes me want to avoid watching it at all costs.
Yeah, just keep shoving awards at me without hooking me in to the actual movie, fuck.

>>90184111
Shame. I like it since its got a lot more resonance to Judy's speech later.

>>90183519
>Kubo and the Two Strings
Doesn't deserve it, but good for Laika.

>Moana
Fuck this gay world.

>My life as a Zucchini
There is still hope for Man.

>The Red Turtle
What the fuck, academy?

Zootopia
>Disappointed but not surprised.

Long Way North should have been nominated, tho.

>>90184965
It's just a video they made for Twitter

>>90185083
Well, it's fucked and they should be ashamed.

Thanks for letting me know, anon.

>>90183519

>The Red Turtle

Never heard of it.

>My Life as a Zucchini

Wait, this one is real? I've heard /co/ mention it a few times, but I just thought someone was taking the piss. The fuck is it even about?

>>90183519
Yep, those are definitely animated feature films.

>>90184247
>why do you watch movies
For the good ones. None of the above qualify as "good".

Zucchini > Kubo > Moana > Red Turtle >>> Zootopia

>>90183519
I know it's a long shot and Zoo will probably win but so far two of the first three Brutally Honest Oscar ballot this year said they voted the Red turtle.

Could the Disney conditioning be wearing off? Are they finally taking animation as a serious medium?

>>90183706
That's carrot

>>90183519
Kubo should win
Zootopia will win

Moana was better

>>90187653
Hi there Lin Manuel Miranda!
What are you doing shilling on /co/?

"Best Animated" only exists as a category so no animated film could ever win "Best Picture." Most of the Academy doesn't even watch the nominees for BA and end up just picking whatever was the most popular/most commercially successful/what their kids/grandkids liked.

The Oscars are a fucking joke.

>The Red Turtle getting nominated over Kimi No Na Wa / Your Name

>>90187998
It was actually my favourite disney movie since Atlantis came out

>>90187694
Last year's most commercially successful animated movie was Finding Dory, and based Oscars has balls to cut it off from the list, ya sourpuss.

>>90188022
We already told you, putting lens flares on everything and rotoscoping backgrounds doesn't make a good film.

Stop posting that because it's already a thing.

>>90188822
>Worldwide gross
>mostly Japan and China

fucking kek desu

Spirited Away could reach more than 500M, if China had opened their market to us back then.

>>90183519
Moana has no place on the list.

>>90189131
B-but.. but.... muh Disney!!!

If it wins ill flip shit

>>90183519
>Kubo
This movie didn't really click for me until the climax, but after that it was excellent.
>Moana
My little sister liked it.
>Zootopia
Bretty good. I know people on here like the idea of the first draft, but I honestly prefer buddy cop movie with talking animals over Psycho-pass with talking animals.

Wait a fucking minute; since when do people hate Moana? I loved that movie.

>>90189098
It hasn't even opened in America and it's already the highest grossing anime of all time.

>Spirited Away could reach more than 500M

It didn't tho.

>>90188545
You couldn't even post Keit-ai on /a/ without getting a 30-day ban.

>>90189499
Don't forget Spirited Away had John Lasseter shilling it.

Your name doesn't have that advantage.

>mfw no Kubo rule 34

>>90189499
This is a fucking lie.
Don't fall for it, everyone.
China hadn't open their market to us when Spirited Away came out.
Spirited Away had potential to reach 500M.

and the Oscar winning is 500M worthy, Spirited Away therefore is practically a 1000M movie desu.

>>90188545
The creator is actually happy. If it won an oscar, He'd get too much attention and then his idol would see his film and say something controversial about it.

>>90184111
Well that was soul crushing.

>>90183519
My heart goes with Kubo, but I know either Zootopia or Moana will win

>>90183554
I wanted to see it just to hear my waifu's (Ellen) role, but couldn't find it anywhere. I think it's a really minor role too.

The Academy are maximum plebs and don't even watch the animated movies so it's between Moana and Zootopia. And because Moana is the princess movie it'll probably be that, even though Zootopia was better.

>Oscar Animated Feature Nominations
Why do you even give them the time of day? Honestly, they could not have made it any clearer.

Remember when The Hollywood Reporter ran candid, anonymous interviews with Oscar voters a few years ago? Well, they're doing it again, and they're put out three so far. As soon as I read them, I knew you guys would be interested.

Voter #1

Best Animated Feature
>I watched them all and liked several of them, but I loved The Red Turtle, which was the most profound of the group.
> My vote: The Red Turtle
Best Animated Short
>The two that I liked the best were Piper, which is so adorable, and the one with the cigarettes where that crazy guy goes to China [Pear Cider and Cigarettes], which I voted for because it is very intriguing and different.
>My vote: Pearl Cider and Cigarettes

>>90190670
Voter #2

Best Animated Feature
>I didn't see any of them. I'm not that interested in animated films, to be honest with you.
>My vote: [Abstain]
Best Live-Action, Animated & Documentary Short
>This was a year when my interest in the Oscars was not as strong as it has been in the past because of the political situation at the moment — like so many others, I've felt hugely discouraged about much more important things, and frankly I just didn't want to spend my time doing this.
>My vote for all three: [Abstain]

>>90185092
It's a pretty standard "for your consideration" ad made for the Academy

>>90190720
Voter #3

Best Animated Feature
>I'm not big on animation or animators. I know a girl who only has sex with animators — she works over at Disney. In any event, my least favorite was Moana — just typical Disney fare. I really, really liked Kubo and the Two Strings, My Life As a Zucchini and Zootopia. But I loved The Red Turtle — it was so simple and it spoke about life and it looked like a watercolor painting to me. Plus I have a fetish for turtles — I've just written a project about a turtle.
>My vote: The Red Turtle
Best Animated Short
>I really didn't like Borrowed Time — there was no point and the whole Western theme didn't work for me, period. I did not like Blind Vaysha — I couldn't figure it out. Pearl was really sweet and I liked it — that message about what we pass on to our children. And then it was between Pear Cider [and Cigarettes] and Piper. I have a bunch of years sober from my drug of choice, so watching Pear Cider hit a little bit close to home for me. Plus, it was much too long, and also, while I like the graphic novel approach, the movie was so infrequently animated that it's hard to vote for it.
>But, even setting all that aside — oh, man, I'm embarrassed about this one — I really liked that silly little Piper. I had to ignore that it was Pixar because that's like the anti-Viagra: you see Pixar's name and you know it's all gonna be the same — probably great, but just the same. But that little bird? I could have spent an hour-and-a-half watching that f---ing bird. I really loved his energy. I guess I'm just mushier than normal this year.
>My vote: Piper

What's with all the hate for Moana? It was great

It's literally the "Let's Give Disney An Award" award

Meteorites can't kill us all~ They are not the ones that fall~

>>90187694
Every year I'm reminded of Wes Anderson's jab at the Academy in his Mr. Fox nomination clip.

I fucking hate zootopia
