I agree that, without a special animation category, it's rare that an animated film would ever win anything. So I feel very much trapped. Either you go off to the "kiddy" table and take what you can get, or you try to play with the "big boys" and get shot out of the sky. Our society is so stupid and judgmental. And, yeah, I'm very pissed that Disney shut down its traditional animation department. Some of the best animated films (or even films in general) were made by Disney in the '90s. And now, like YIYF said, all they do is make these crappy sequels to movies they made 50 years ago. I just watched my Cinderella DVD the other day and saw a trailer for a Cinderella III! How many more things can they do with that story?! I mean, come on, the shoe fits. The end!
