What's the deal with this movie? Did Cartoon Network give it a one-week qualifying theatrical release? Or will it? Or will it give something like those "Equestria Girls" releases?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6JF3MkAY6w
It all comes down to Inside Out and Anomalisa
>>77336900
>2 Pixar Films
So its not even a contest
>>77336974
Going through the non-Wide releases.
GKids is represented in the list again, with two movies. The first allegedly being Studio Ghibli's last movie ever.

if anomalisa is as good as early reviews say it is, it definitely has a shot of beating the disney dynasty. Remember, the academy loves Kaufman and underdog stories. Remember when the box office flop Hurt Locker beat Avatar?

And then there was Selma Hayek's pet project, from the director of "The Lion King".

There's Charles Kaufman's stop motion project. The ad says it will be released "everywhere" in January. Is it really going to get a wide release?

I gaffed. THREE Gkids movies. Though this one won't get a release until December. I'm really looking forward to this one, though, a Brazillian import.

>>77337243
probably a couple hundred theaters
gotta wonder what the budget for this thing was. They got 400,000 from kickstarter, but I bet its at least a few million now.
>>77337243
Maybe it's just the trailer, but boy does that look like the biggest piece of Oscar bait
And thank you, kind anon, for posting all these trailers
>>77337374
>hurr durr Oscar bait
>>>/tv/
>>77337374
Considering the fact that Starburns don't generally make movies, and the fact that if you win a Oscar you get a big payraise, aswell as notoriety from other, bigger companies, I would say they need this Oscar bait.
>>77337429
Oh, come on now. Perhaps it's overused, but it does apply to more than a few movies
>>77337343

The next movie from Mamoru Hosoda, who directed the "Digimon" movies as well as "Summer Wars" and "Wolf Children". Unfortunately I haven't found any information on its US distribution. I have no idea what company is distributing it, or if it's giving the film a qualifying release or something more widespread. Also, I could only find a Japanese language website and trailer.

This movie appears to be based on a famous Finnish Comic Strip. Like with "Beast", I have no idea what the distribution story is for this movie. I don't know the US distributor, or how much distribution it has gotten/will get.

Gunning for my boy Shaun.
He's better than the rest of this shit.
>>77337102
Those are Pixar movies. Disney doesn't even have a movie on the list this year.
>>77337374
Everyone who's seen it says the trailers not like the actual movie at all.
Inside outs taking it. Im not sayong this because i like inside out. Well i do like it but we have to face facts that disney has a death grip on this shit and it doesn't look like its letting go

It's gonna be IO or Minions.

But why tho. It was a critical flop.

>Expecting me to care about the "We Don't Want to Treat Animated Films Like Normal Films Because We're A Bunch of Jaded Snobs Who Think We Know What We're Talking About With Our Mouths Full of Cocks" award
It doesn't matter which one wins, they all lose in the end.
>>77337950
Nope, they're just creatures called Moomins who heavily resemble hippos.
>>77337890
Nah Sheep are better.
>>77337632
The odd thing about the list is how short it is. These are the movies that I know got or will get US releases, but did not get submitted to the list.
Wide Releases:
Strange Magic
Un Gallo Con Muchos Huevos
Hell and Back
Disney: (nominal release)
Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast
Gkids:
Extraordinary Tales
Funimation:
Dragonball Z: Resurrection F
Ghost in the Shell: the New Movie

Boruto: Naruto the Movie
The Anthem of the Heart
Shout! Factory:
Maya - the Bee Movie
The Seventh Dwarf
Other:
Back to the Jurassic (Dino Time)
All Creatures Big and Small
Love Live!: a School Idol Movie
I don't know which of these movies qualified under the Oscar rules, but I would've liked to have seen them submitted if they did.
>>77337072
I think they can only nominate one film per studio. Besides, we've got Anomalisa.
>>77337032
This.
they'll just give it to which ever one they heard about the most
like they do every year for this award
>>77336900
they all suck
>>77337663
pixar's owned by disney
>>77339280
Only after "Ratatouille". And Pixar still operates as a separate division.
Dang. The only one of those I've seen this year is The Regular Show Movie.
>Regular Show is nominated for the Oscar
>Lego Movie wasn't
I still don't understand.
I'd like to think that "The Prophet" would win because it's based on a book and Oscar judges love to sniff their own farts and think they're "deep".
But since I know how this goes it will probably be:
"Home", because black MC
"Inside Out", because Pixar
Or "Minions", because their kids liked it.
>mfw somehow Regular Show wins
>mfw goes /co/ berserk
>CN becomes RS tv
>CN doubles down on drama for RS
>>77339965
This is not the nomination list. This is the submission list, where any studio can submit any animated movie so long as the movie qualifies.

>Twitter becomes a shitflinging central

>Kaufman
>Oscar Bait
Honestly, his films aren't marketable enough for the oscars. Oscar bait is a crass, mass-market film pretending to be intellectual.
>>77337072
Pixar has been beaten before, its not unheard of.
There are a lot of films on this list that I would be okay with winning, actually.
I don't see how Anomalisa can be on that list and not win.
>>77341246
I'd love to RS win just for me to see the sea of burning anger and outrage
>>77341622
how can you say that when it's not even out yet
>>77341722
He must've, I dunno, saw it.
Or he's reacting off of hype
>>77337475
It's Funi. So it doesn't have a chance t getting nominated because they won't bother to advertise it to voters. It's played at several festivals already, and might have a screener in coming months, but a US release won't happen until Spring 2016. No word on video release though.
Last few years have had 5 nominees appear, and I can likely guess 4 that will get nominated.
>Inside Out
>Good Dinosaur
>Shaun the Sheep
>Peanuts
Maybe Minions? But Lego Movie didn't get nominated because they were too paranoid about being accused of selling out or something and Minions is cashgrab personified.
>>77337951
>Home
>But why tho. It was a critical flop.
Minority lead for the "diversity" vote.
they have no intention of voting on anything but whatever shit Disney/Pixar slapped on the screen, but they have to look like they at least considered doing otherwise.
>>77337145
I've been curious about this. Is it out yet?
Are we still pretending the Oscar doesn't go to whatever Disney shat out that year? I mean, since the category started, how many times it wasn't so? 5? In how many of those there was no Disney movie that year?
>>77337951
I mean if Hotel Transylvania 2 and Minions make the cut, anything can.
Fuck the Spongebob movie is on it.
>>77344589
>>77344628
>Disney suck am I right guys
>>77344643
>I'll put a fedora on people who disagree with me, that'll show 'em.
I didn't even say that Disney sucks, in many years it absolutely deserves to win, I said the Academy sucks.
Disney wins
>Frozen
>Big Hero 6
Disney/Pixar wins
>Nemo
>Incredibles
>Ratatouille
>Wall-E
>Up
>Toy Story 3
>Brave
Non-Disney Wins
>Shrek
>Spirited Away
>Wallace and Gromit
>Happy Feet
>Rango
D-disney always w-wins it's rigged. I'd say Brave and Big Hero 6 are the only ones that outright shouldn't have won (Wreck-It Ralph and Lego should have won respectively).
>>77341622
It's written by Charlie Kaufman, so the plebs at the Academy might think it's weird artsy bullshut, and go for something that's more accessible like Inside Out (not that it's worse or makes it plebby, it's just that the Academy tends to like conventional animated films). Although I haven't seen Anomalisa so I might be wring about it being too weird for them.
>>77344637
Disney/Pixar have won 9/14, including 7 of the last 8.
Only 3 times was there a Disney movie that didn't win: Cars lost to Happy Feet in 2008, Lilo & Stitch and Treasure Planet lost to Spirited Away in 2002, and Monsters Inc. lost to Shrek in 2001.
The films that won when Disney wasn't there are Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) and Rango (2011, the last non-Disney winner).
Dreamworks is the only other company to have produced more than 1 Oscar-winning animated features: Shrek in 2001 and Wallace & Gromit in 2005.
Only 2 foreign movies ever won: Wallace & Gromit and Spirited Away.
>>77344698
whoops
>>77344628
>>77344679
Rango and Wallace & Gromit had no Disney competition that year and Happy Feet was up against fucking Cars. The only ones that beat Disney clean were Shrek and Spirited Away, against Monsters Inc. and Lilo & Stitch, respectively.
>>77344703
>The only ones that beat Disney clean were Shrek and Spirited Away, against Monsters Inc. and Lilo & Stitch, respectively.
Both movies being pretty huge international phenomenons when they came out. I mean the Academy would have looked like serious plebs if the didn't pick Spirited Away, which had won several film (period, not animated) awards before then.
Also Spirited Away was dubbed by Wal Disney Pictures under John Lasseter, and released to home video by Buena Vista.
Not much of a loss for Disney.
>>77344703
But again, things like Nemo, Incredibles, Ratatouille, Toy Story, Up and Wall-E were really deserved winners. You can talk about bias to Pixar/Disney, but those films knocked it out of the park.
The only films in recent years that likely deserved the Oscar that didn't win are HTTYD (which was against Toy Story), Lego (The biggest disgrace as it wasn't even nominated), Wreck-It Ralph (which is itself a Disney movie) and HTTYD2.
>>77344748
>things like Nemo, Incredibles, Ratatouille, Toy Story, Up and Wall-E were really deserved winners.
Nobody is saying they're bad movies, but some of their concurrence (The Triplets of Belleville, Persepolis, Kung Fu Panda, The Secret of Kells) was pretty much just as good, just less likely to have been watched by the voters' children.
>HTTYD2
Garbage.
>>77336900
>implying anything but Pixar will win
This category is a fucking racket.
>>77336900
Who care, the jury will not watch them and will just vote for the movie the children they know talk about.
Pixar wins cause the jury literally does not give a fuck and still considers animation inferior and not worthy of attention
The films selected will be,
The Good Dinosaur
Home
Inside Out
Minions
The Peanuts Movie
Shaun the Sheep
When Marnie Was There.
I'm willing to bet its going to be Inside Out, Shaun The Sheep and When Marnie Was There will be shot down because it's "obscure Chinese bullshit." No one will care about Home or The Good Dinosaur or Minions, and Peanuts will come close because of nostalgia.
Eh, honestly I hope RS gets nommed.
We all know who's going to win but the hype of a fav movie getting nommed is a good feeling.
Anomalisa, Peanuts... these kind of movies don't get along well with children, getting nominated is already as far as they could get.
>>77337079
>http://www.oscars.org/news/16-animated-features-submitted-2015-oscarr-race
It even hurts to know this movie will be shat on...
>>77344693
Like the music awards and a few other things, people have to actually see the movie to vote for this; so yes, technically plebs can go, watch it and vote, but it will more likely be animation related craft people who go.
>>77344698
Holy shit, who beat Prince of Egypt?
