>Dur, why was this animated when they could've just used

This actually has a completely logical reason for being animated though. I doubt live action could easily replicate Michael seeing everyone as the same person thing without it being a lot more expensive. Otherwise I agree with your assessment.

Mature animation that can compete for Best Picture alongside live-action films?

NEVAR, cartunes r fur kidz

This movie was so frustrating and unsatisfying in the end. It might've caused the desired effect in me.

Fun Fact: This logic nearly killed the Incredibles

Beauty and the Beast, Up, and Toy Story 3 were all nominated for Best Picture.

MATURE animation; those are all family films.

This movie was such pretentious garbage, and I realize it was mocking pretentiousness but that doesn't excuse it from being self-masturbatory as fuck

Wasn't that just one 2 minute scene though? I'd imagine doing a whole movie like that would be a lot more difficult.

It would've lost to Pixar even if the fugly dinosaur movie got nominated instead of IO because the Academy doesn't give a shit about animation.

That's why they kept this movie out of the Best Animated Feature category but nominated a forgettable kiddy Disney flick about a dog instead.
