There wasn’t room to swing the decaying corpse of a cat, or any animal for that matter, among all the animated films we have been subjected to over the last 12 months. Every studio has come out in full force and now 21 films, that’s one more than twenty, have been submitted for Best Animated Feature Oscar consideration. It appears that any animated film has been thrust forward regardless of quality, which is a shame as it kind of undermines the category. DR. SEUSS’ THE LORAX is one of the worst animated films I’ve ever seen, and there was certainly nothing special about ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT or even Pixar’s BRAVE. I’d place money on picks such as Studio Ghibli’s FROM UP ON POPPY HILL and the autobiographical A LIARS’S AUTOBIOGRAPHY: THE UNTRUE STORY OF MONTY PYTHON’S GRAHAM CHAPMAN.
