 Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? I was just looking through Rotten Tomatoes and noticed that Arthur Christmas is sitting on a 93% average and still going strong with 26 positive reviews and only 2 negative reviews. I'm thinking it has a chance since it's been a mediocre year for animated movies.

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? Would love to see it happen personally. Looks like a really cute movie and I'm glad reviews are great.

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? Doubt it. Between its terrific reviews, Spielberg/Peter Jackson pedigree, and seeming broad appeal, it's hard to imagine Tintin losing this. It used to be a matter of eligibility. But it's eligible now.
(I'm pulling for Rango myself.)

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? Ugh, Rango was such crap.

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? I'd be thrilled to see Aardman win the Oscar!

(I'm pulling for Rango myself.) I liked Rango too. Do only people in the animation branch vote for Best Animated Film or is that something anyone can vote for? Because if it's just animators, they're probably not going to give it to a motion capture film. I haven't seen Arthur Christmas but I love Aardman and love to see them get another Oscar. My worry is that Pixar will dominate again even though they produced their worst film ever with Cars 2. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

I think just people in the animation branch vote for the nominees, but everyone votes for the winners. _________________Magic Mike wrote: zwackerm wrote: If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes.

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? Since it's down to Rango and Tintin, I'm pleased with this category this year. I would be satisfied with either winning, though I do prefer Rango.

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? I think Tintin's gonna take it. It's got the reviews, it's more mainstream-friendly, and it'll give the Academy a chance to give Spielberg another Oscar.

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? You're probably right. Though Rango did better box office.

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? Don't forget that Tintin's very placement in this category is kind of controversial. It's the filmmakers' own fault. They always insist mo-cap is something new and distinct from real animation--at least, until Oscar time rolls 'round.

Not only that, Tintin has the stink of BO failure surrounding it - - even though it will make more money than Arthur Christmas, the Academy will recognize it's failure to connect with audiences.

Re: Arthur Christmas taking home Best Animated Film award? I think that's a much less relevant issue. Is this the way they recognized how Wallace & Gromit and Spirited Away, two movies that made far less than Tintin yet took home the award, failed to connect with audiences?
