Oscar Prediction: Best Animated Feature

we're only 9 days from the Oscar ceremony, so here's another predicition for Best Animated Feature.
there are three nominees:

• Howl's Moving Castle
• Tim Burton's Corpse Bride
• Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

as i intimated in my review of Corpse Bride, my prediction is Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. all three films are from some of the most accomplished animators in the world, but I have a feeling that Miyazaki's film may not get the love because it is essentially a foriegn film. that leaves two very similar feeling films in Corpse Bride and Wallace and Gromit. both are stop motion animation, but for many of the same reasons i gave two days ago, I have to give the edge to Wallace and Gromit. Corpse Bride struck me too much as a film attempting to find an identity, a problem that The Curse of the Were-Rabbit just didn't have.

up next: Achievement in Film Editing
