In early 2010 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will once again award one animated film best film of the year. Categories existed since 2001 and is awarded only when there are at least eight animated films released this year. In recent years this competition has been dominated by one film company Pixar. Will 2010 be the same? Let’s look at this years main contenders for best animated film.
Up
Why not start with Pixar. In recent years, their films dominate this category, and there were peals that some of his films actually have to compete with the life of the action film for best film of the year. Their films is that good. The winners in the past few years is included in The Incredibles, Finding Nemo and WALL-E.
This year, their films to attract the highest praise from critics called the best animated film since, so good … WALL-E. A widower sets out to achieve lifelong dreams of his wife floating houses thousands of balloons and travel to South America.
Ponyo
Hayao Miyazaki is one of the largest and most successful filmmakers in the history of Japan. Like Pixar, Miyazaki’s films are always lists of the best films of the year, every year, and if you come across a list of 10 best animated films of all time likely will be more than one of his films are presented. Miyazaki won only once in this category for a masterpiece, Spirited Away. This year, his retelling of the Hans Christian Anderson Little Mermaid received praise from all quarters, even if not quite the Prophets in his previous best.
Partly cloudy, chance of Meatballs
Adapted from a children’s book with the same strange name film tells the strange and honor the unique aspects of humanity and as human ingenuity can solve the problem seemingly impossible. At least, that’s my take on it. In addition, many large food falls from the sky. Appreciated by most critics, film was prepared by Sony Pictures Animation, which had previously nominated, including “Surf’s Up.”
Coraline
Adapted from the book by Neil Gaiman is a stop-motion animated film produced and directed the film huskies Henry Selick. Coraline is a story about a girl who opens an alternate reality in which she finds another set of parents who at first seem to be all that she never wanted. Since this is a rather dark gothic piece you can imagine things do not stay that way. The film received high critical acclaim not only for its history, but the beauty of animation techniques.
The Princess and the Frog
Undoubtedly, this will be a sentimental favorite of the Academy. The first 2D Disney Animation Studios animated film for six years and their first with the association with Pixar, has received praise from critics around the world. Turn on the traditional fairy tale, where a young princess kisses a frog, who turns out to be a prince under a curse, this film is interesting as its main character, Tiana, was the first African-American character of Disney’s princesses. Given the fundamental place in the animation studio, they never won an Oscar for best animated film.
He was a rich year for animated films in 2009 and other possible films in the statement include Fantastic Mr Fox with the outside chance of Astro Boy and Monsters vs. Aliens.
