Do not know if it is eligible, but The Tale of Princess Kaguya from Japan has amazing reviews.

Big Hero 6 is a lock now.

My picks

Locks
1. The Lego Movie
2. How to Train Your Dragon 2
3. Big Hero 6
4. The Boxtrolls

Some foreign shit will take the fifth slot. I would have put in the book of life over the Boxtrolls, but The Academy likes Laika. This may be the most competitive year yet for the genre.

What other year has had 3 serious contenders for the award?

Sorry, I meant some foreign movie no one has seen or cares about will probably take the fifth slot. I understand these movies have their audiences, though.

There are many, but 2010 remains as one of the strongest

Toy Story 3
Tangled
How to Train Your Dragon
Owls of Ga'Hoole
Despicable Me


On the other hand, my post was related to quality flicks, none animated movie released this year has been superhyperawesome.

The only one of those films that had a chance to take it from Toy Story 3 was HTTYD, not to mention none of those other 3 were even nominated.

IMO, The Lego Movie was superhyperawesome and HTTYD 2 almost was.

Tangled was not nominated! My statement was based on the fact that The Lego Movie, HTTYD 2 and Big Hero 6 appear to have an equal chance to take the award, whereas that year only Toy Story 3 and HTTYD had a chance
While I agree Toy Story 3 > The Lego Movie, I also believe HTTYD 2> HTTYD. It took me a while to get into HTTYD, whereas I loved HTTYD 2 on the first watch. But the Lego Movie is better than both of those IMO.

This is one of the best years in animation.

The Lego Movie
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Big Hero 6

These three are assured, and it should be a close race between them. And there are a number of films that could fill the final two spots with these five below, in particular, will be ones to watch in my opinion:

Song of the Sea is most likely getting in, but competition isn't light.
The Tale of Princess Kaguya also has a good chance, especially since it could be the Academy's last chance to nominate a Studio Ghibli film.
The Prophet is a solid contender and has Roger Allers behind it.
The Boxtrolls may get in, but its reception isn't as strong as Laika's other films.
The Clockwork Girl... maybe, but it's the weakest of the alternatives I'd say.

It has a negative review. Do you know how many positive reviews The Lego Movie had before it got a negative review? It was at least 50.

Reviews for Big Hero 6 look like they could be below Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph, but it's still early. I'm a little worried that 3 of the last 6 have been negative reviews, though, after the initial positive ones.

Here are the twenty film submissions:

Big Hero 6
The Book of Life
The Boxtrolls
Cheatin'
Giovanni's Island (Japan)
Henry & Me
The Hero of Color City
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart (France)
Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return
The Lego Movie
Minuscule – Valley of the Lost Ants (France)
Mr. Peabody & Sherman
Penguins of Madagascar
The Pirate Fairy
Planes: Fire & Rescue
Rio 2
Rocks in My Pockets
Song of the Sea (Ireland)
The Tale of Princess Kaguya (Japan)

Big Hero 6 would only have a chance at winning if it was from Pixar. But it is now obvious that the film's reviews will be worse than The Lego Movie and HTTYD 2.

10% Big Hero 6

What do you mean with that?

Frozen won this year and MU was not even nominated ( as expected its nomination was robbed too)
