"Hm..." , posted Fri 27 Feb 22:33:

According to the Academy Awards Nominees List, it's only up for best animated feature. (At least, I couldn't find any other category under which it was listed.)

It's also up against The Triplets of Belleville (which I've wanted to see) and Finding Nemo. At least against Finding Nemo, I don't think it has much of a chance of winning the Oscar. I don't even know if the nomination counts for much, if not that many animated films were released in the past year.

... not that I have anything against the film -- I've wanted to go see it, if only to see one of Disney's supposedly-last 2D works (even if Legacy Animation Studios may pick up where Disney leaves off). I'll watch the DVD on March 30 when it comes out.

Hopefully this link won't become broken

I'll be cheering this film on. I was surprised for it's nominations. Go BB!

*Edit* Also supposedly up for Best Score and Soundtrack,from what I just heard.

I haven't seen Triplets yet, but I'm hoping it wins... simply because I didn't like Nemo (disproving my theory any movie in which two of my favorite actors with "De" in their names are turned into fish is actually worth watching) and I don't think BB deserves the award... it won't make Disney decide 2D films are worth persuing further, it just rewards them for quitting and if awards do encourage film making Triplets deserves it even more so other foreign companies will make attempts.

This picture is unusally orange no?

I agree on the Nemo thing. So overrated and overhyped. I still haven't bothered to watch that movie either. But I don't care too.

How about watching the movie and then decide if it's overrated and overhyped or not?


I liked Nemo.

How are you doin'

Agreed with Hungrywolf [EDIT: and CPSIII] -- you're missing out by passing Finding Nemo off as "overrated and overhyped" and not watching it. It's worthy of the praise it's earned.

Likewise, I suppose I shouldn't be too comparatively-negative against Brother Bear, not having watched it just yet (even though I do want to watch it). Though, critics with whom I tend to agree do have qualms with Brother Bear's delivery.

I haven't seen Brother Bear, so I won't comment on it after the above discussion, but I liked both Nemo and Triplets. However, I would have to say Triplets should get the Oscar; it was much more of an inventive, original film. Anyone who hasn't seen it yet should do so if they get a chance.

The best way I can describe it is a full-length short film. You get that impression from the quality of animation, the lack of dialogue, and the clever subtleties that make it so entertaining. I just hope that its critical success and hopefully an Oscar can encourage more movies like it to be made by the same people and others.
