Variety has the list of submitted films, which goes as follows:
Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
Astro Boy
Battle for Terra
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Coraline
Disney’s A Christmas Carol
The Dolphin – Story of a Dreamer
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Mary and Max
The Missing Lynx
Monsters vs. Aliens
9
Planet 51
Ponyo
The Princess and the Frog
The Secret of Kells
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
A Town Called Panic
Up
It’s no secret I don’t really like that many animated films. I have seen a few movies on this list and there are certainly standouts. If either 9, Ponyo, or Coraline don’t win, its a travesty (although Fantastic Mr. Fox looks quite good as well) I just pray that the Pixar/Disney dynasty takes a hit this year.
Until Next Time I Remain… Claymated.
