Isn't it interesting, by the way, how with every studio rushing to make CGI films, that the three films nominated for an Oscar this year are all done with traditional animation techniques? Hehe, well, not exactly "traditional". Well, clay animation and other forms of stop-motion animation have been around as long as animation has (in other words, since film began). That certainly is more traditional than CGI, now, isn't it? _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

You didn't like Gromit though? He sold the movie for me, along with the rabbit creature (not the were-rabbit).

I don't get a lot of the adult-love for this thing.
It's not bad though... *shrug*

He won for "Creature Comforts" (which beat out the first Wallace and Grommit short) Then he won for the next two Wallace and Grommit shorts. There was no feature film Oscar when "Chicken Run" came out but if there were, he may have won that too. The people who vote on these things love him. Trust me, he will win. Told ya!
(Heh! Mind you, I was wrong about a lot of other wins!) _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

Having now seen all nominated animated films, my pick still goes to W&G. Easily.
I thought Howl's Moving Castle was quite bad, and I'm otherwise a big fan of Miyazaki.
If I'd had to nominate 3 last year, my spots would have gone to W&G, Corpse Bride, and probably Steamboy.
Ouch. Terrible year.

Ouch. Terrible year. That's because there was no Pixar release. But still, I really liked W&G _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com
