This Might Be the Most Exciting Year for Best Animated Features at the Oscars


It’s a battle where movies are getting awards buzz not just in the animation category but in Best Picture as well.

While Best Picture talk for The Wild Robot might be putting the cart before the horse — the movie will have to prove itself a hit with the public before that’s even a consideration — it’s not the only animated feature attracting that kind of buzz this year. Featuring the voices of Brian Cox and Miranda Otto (the latter reprising her role as Éowyn from the Jackson films), The War of the Rohirrim is set to release in theaters on December 13. Back-to-back years launching Oscar-winner The Boy and the Heron and Oscar-hopeful The Wild Robot, however, could go a long way towards making this a major launchpad for animated films looking to challenge Disney and Pixar.
