			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I think Fantastic Mr. Fox could be a serious contender for the best animated film.  Up was great as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if it won, but I personally thought Fantastic Mr. Fox was a better film.  The rules in the world it presents just seemed a little more 'set' than what Up presented, and I also believe that Fantastic Mr. Fox broke more new ground in the terms of animation, cinematography and camera work for stop-motion than Up did for CGI.  I loved Coraline, though I don't think it will win, and I haven't seen any other animated film that I can think of this year.]]></content>

It doesn't have to pretend to be a gritty realistic film. It does however have to take at least a few things into consideration. Even fairy tales need some kind of reality to draw on. I mean, I didn't mind the flying house, I hated the 120 year old man they found who looked younger than Karl. I didn't mind the talking dogs, I hated the flying dogs. I could go on, but I won't.]]></content>

Well, the film definitely is more fairy tale-ish than strictly reality. It doesn't ever pretend to be a gritty, realistic film. From the start it's very whimsical.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_in_film]Here's a list[/url] of all the animated films made this year, since the post up at the top really bugs me due to the lack of contenders. Please note that even though this list seems to omit some films, there is a list of 2009 animated films "yet" to be released, just below.]]></content>

Heh, funny, I feel the same way about [b]Wall-E[/b] though that's a different Pixar film.]]></content>

But I digress. In the end, [b]Up[/b] will win the Oscar. I'm much more interested in who takes the Annie award, as after 2008 I view that as a much more objective and animation-centered award. I've yet to see [b]Fantastic Mr. Fox[/b] which I hear is amazing, but so far my top animated film has been [b]The Secret of Kells[/b]. Though it did get a little too cute at times and I doubt it has much chance of winning anything.]]></content>

Anyway, definitely Up. I'd also bet on a Best Picture nod.
