 Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar? Dr. Lecter wrote: But why are you comparing the original Kung Fu Panda only to movies released in 2010 and 2011 whereas KFP was relesased in 2008? I think you know the answer to that question Dr. Lecter, and are just playing dumb as you so often do - - but okay, allow me to explain... The Kung Fu Panda 2 DVD was released in 2011 (six weeks ago, December 13th to be exact), well into the declining era of DVD sales. I was actually just going to compare the original Kung Fu Panda's much higher DVD sales to other DVD's released in 2011, but once I got digging into The-Numbers.com's DVD sales pages, I found it an interesting fact that only the two DVD's mentioned topped the original KFP's sales as far back as 2010. trixster wrote: Because it fits his argument better. Heh - - Trixster doesn't need to play dumb - - my argument is that all DVD sales have declined for reasons other than just the quality of the films. So yes, you're correct, it fits my argument better.

Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar? We need the Blu-Ray numbers. HP&TDH sold 6 million od DVDs so far, but also 5 million Blu-Ray's (6,239,359 + 4,863,400 = 11,102,759). KFP2 sold 2 million DVD's and 1 million Blu-Ray's (1,887,574 + 994,170 = 2,881,744). The Numbers claim KFP sold 9,153,606 DVD units and I doubt that it sold 2 million Blu-Rays at that time. So even if we count only 2011 and 2010 I think we could find more examples like these to show that KFP was beat by more than just 2 movies when it come to home sales.

Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar? The Dark Shape's red herring has worked well to temporarily divert this thread from what's important here:
Kung Fu Panda 2 was the best animated film last year and will win the Best Animated Feature Oscar on February 27th.

Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar? Based on the trailers, I'd predict Chico & Rita if Rango loses.

Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar? Rotten Tomato Scores for the Nominated Films (not that this will tell you who will win):
A Cat in Paris: 100
Chico and Rita: 94
Rango: 88
Puss in Boots: 83
Kung Fu Panda 2: 81
I haven't seen Cat or Chico, but it might be nice for some smaller film to get it this year.
This is the first year, by the way, that a Pixar film did not get nominated. Pixar has won the last four (Ratatouille, Wall-E, Up, Toy Story 3)

Re: With Cars 2 out, what might win the animated Oscar? I dunno, Rango is really really good, though. I'd love for it to win.

He (probably) meant - the first year that did have a Pixar film that did not get nominated. Exactly. Pixar didn't have a film released in 2002 and 2005. Since the Animated Oscars began, every Pixar film has been nominated -- except Cars 2. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com
