Man, this year SUCKS for animated movies. This category is going to be a shitshow.
>>150217696Fixed for the Oscar.
>>150217696没什么私人的,小子。
>>150217735I would honestly not be surprised.
>>150217735This would be a first for Genndy since the first HT wasn't even nomimated, I dont think the sequels would fit the bit of being 'best' movie material.
>>150217735It needs to be screened in theaters for a week so it can be submitted
Who cares. Disney is gonna steal the award like they've been doing since 2012
>>150217696Ne Zha 2K Pop Demon HuntersBad Guys 2ArcoAnd I guess a 5th one Im not thinking ofIt looks fine
Obvious winner.>"diversity">ranked #1 on Netflix>popular songsHowever, this the first year that Oscars requires people to watch all nominees within their categories. I think a funny outcome would be if none of the voters finished watching them all and are forced to abstain, so it'll be a year without a winner
>>150217696>2025 >still caring about the Animation Oscar The only reason I was even slightly moved by Flow's win last year was because I knew that'd give it some extra publicity. The film deserved it.
>>150218773>the characters legit tell you to scan a QR code before credit roll so you can join their church
>>150218674What else did they put out besides Elio?
>>150218899That film aint winning, the only reason it's so viewed on Netflix is because children want to watch that garbage, so their parents turn it on to keep them quiet, I've worked as a summer camp counselor during the Summer and all the brainlet children were saying "DURRR I WANNA WATCH K-POP DEMON HUNTERS" on the tv in the playroom. The film is made to be slop geared towards children with its excessive dickriding of a corporate music genre, makeup and girly shit to sell toys (but it fucking didn't cause it was shat out on Netflix lmao), annoying pop songs, it's a corporate ass musical that gives off vibes of DCOM slop like Descendants. Everyone in the Oscars knows it's slop.The reality is that the only adults who give a shit about it are online ecelebs and the autists that eat their opinions, you seriously think normie adults are willingly watching that slop? Kek, get real.
>>150221336It'll be so fucking funny if Elio doesn't even get nominated, lmao, that's what you get for making beanmouth slop Pixar
>>150221280Holy shit no way
>>150223260I didn’t scan it, so maybe it went straight to a donation page for all I know.
>>150217696>Sylvain Chomet’s latest film a dud>Scarlet getting trashed in Venice>Elio a total flop>Smurfs was shit>DreamWorks’ output already forgotten>Fixed hated by everyone>Ne Zha 2 ignored in AmericaWelp
>>150224587>>Ne Zha 2 ignored in AmericaWonder how Michelle Yeoh will campaign during Wicked. She might bring attention to it again later.
>>150221336Zootopia 2
>>150218773That looks crummy in this day and age, like pictures in a kid's book.David could be good. It comes out late this year and is supposedly a musical. Angel Studios hyped it up as a huge movie a while back, but there hasn't been anything.
ArcoElioKPop Demon HuntersLittle Amelie or the Character of RainZootopia 2I feel extremely confident about this.
>>150227020i know ne zha 2 has a low chance of nomination, but if elio gets in over ne zha 2, i'm gonna throw a fit
>>150217696Nezah 2, Zootopia 2, and The Legend of Hei 2 are out. The Oscars hate sequels.My money is on Glassoworker.
>>150227381>Glassoworkerif you're in Australia, it's free to view on SBS on demand:https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/the-glassworker/2387223619739
>>150227413>2024Glassworker is out.
>>150227424It released Thursday in the US. I have a ticket for tomorrow.
>>150217696>Nezha 2>K-Pop Demon Hunters>Zootopia 2The other two are dependent on which films actually release this year. Arco has celebs ready to shill and GKIDS has a few contenders (Hei II, Little Amelie). Personally I'd nominate Dandelion's Odyssey but I think Oscar judges would just consider it a repeat of Flow.>>150221075This, it's all about what winner will make the Oscars look good, not the other way around. GDT Pinocchio, Boy and the Heron, and Flow are good films, but they were all picked because of what they represented, not because of their own merits. I'm almost 100% confident that it'll go to either K-Pop or Nezha II because of what these films represent (Korean melting pot toppling Netflix records, Chinese high-grosser toppling US records).
>>150224587https://www.forbes.com/sites/timlammers/2025/09/04/english-dub-of-ne-zha-2-gets-streaming-date-report-says/Ne Zha 2's dub is apparently going on paid video on Demand on the 16th of September, might get a little more attention there
>>150227381>Paki Ghibli rip-offHA no
>>150218773I like the character designs at least. Even if it’s like a Saturday Morning version of Prince of Egypt
>>150227602>I'm almost 100% confident that it'll go to either K-Pop or Nezha II because of what these films represent (Korean melting pot toppling Netflix records, Chinese high-grosser toppling US records).
>>150217696Does it qualify?
>>150229380It had a 2024 release at Annecy so it doesn't
KPop Demon Hunters will win.
>>150227602>Chinese high-grosser toppling US recordsNo way the Hollywood voters would want that to be the storyline.
>>150229658It also had a limited release in December.
>>150225798Oh that’s gonna steal the show.
>>150230200At some point or another the Industry is going to have to acknowledge the fact that Hollywood is no longer the big dog anymore. And so, the Oscars will have to choose whether to remain American-centric or try to become more Internationalized
>>150217748Ugly bitch
>>150230660he's just 3 years old don't be mean
>>150221447Yeah the Academy people are all in their 60s or older. They'll go with that gay boy Disney movie just to be safe.
>>150230690They'll have children or grandchildren obsessed with kpop demon hunters though
>>150230701Do you seriously think they'll fucking care about a slop movie that their grandkids like? You didn't see Minions fucking winning the Oscar
>>150230977>slop moviein your opinion. If they like the movie enough, 98% Rotten Tomatoes Critic score, 77 on Metacritic, they'll vote for it.
>>150230690Look at the last three years. They left Disney for artsy fartsy movies.
>>150225843>like pictures in a kid's bookThe creators literally acknowledge this and said that’s what they wanted.Personally, I still see it as an excuse to cheap out. I think if they’d had a better budget, they might have considered making it look grander. And it’s not like this is the first time an animated kids’ film set out to look like moving illustrations. That used to be Disney’s whole deal, and they made really impressive movies that emulated simple illustrative styles but still elevated them. But, Light of the World also feels like it was intentionally made for five year olds even beyond just the art style. It is just constantly spelling out every single message it’s trying to send in very simple terms, like many christian movies do. It’s just not as dirt cheap and embarrassingly bad as most.

grim topic and thread. western animation is dead.
>>150217696Anon, The Oscar's arent good for ANY category. The Oscars are nothing but a bougie party for braindead Hollywood types to dialocate their shoulders patting themselves on the back, remember?
>>150217696Zootopia 2 is gonna steal the show here let's be honest, comes out late Nov so there's already a huge recency bias there, and if the film is good which I FUCKING HOPE DISNEY DIDNT FUCK IT UP... Then yeah
>>150232117lol the only other sequels to ever win an oscar are the godfather and lord of the ringsso unless zootopia can pull that weight, it aint winning
>>150232363Toy Story 3 and 4 won the animation oscar
>>150217696demon slayer is sweeping this
