14 Submit for Animation Oscar

by Jane Boursaw on November 11th, 2008

I haven’t seen all of these movies yet (because they haven’t all been released), but I’m loving the 14 movies submitted to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for the best animated feature category. Only three films will be selected.

The Contenders: “Bolt,” “Delgo,” “Dragon Hunters,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” “Igor,” “Kung Fu Panda,” “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,” “$9.99,” “The Sky Crawlers,” “Sword of the Stranger,” “The Tale of Despereaux,” “Waltz With Bashir” “WALL-E” and “Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who!”

My Picks: “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,” “Wall-E,” and “Kung Fu Panda.”

Let’s see how I do! The Oscar nominations will be announced Jan. 22, 2009. The awards show will air Feb. 22, 2009 on ABC.

Which three movies do you think should be in the running?
