ANIMATED

Written by: Clayton Davis on February 7, 2012.

COMMENTARY:

Again, the Animated branch and the rest of us are never on the same page. After leaving off “Arthur Christmas,” “The Adventures of Tintin,” and “Winnie the Pooh” all that’s left is, well…everything else. “Rango” has won all the major awards but don’t count out the popular “Puss in Boots” and “Kung Fu Panda 2” which could surprise. And we don’t even know what they think of “A Cat in Paris” and “Chico & Rita.” You’re guesses are as good as mine.

POSITION	AND THE NOMINATED CARTOONS ARE…
1	“Rango” – Gore Verbinski
2	“Puss in Boots” – Chris Miller
3	“A Cat in Paris” – Alain Gagnol and Jean-Loup Felicoli
4	“Chico & Rita” – Fernando Truebe & Javier Marascal
5	“Kung Fu Panda 2” – Jennifer Yuh Nelson
