Best Animated Film 2007 is going to be Ratatouille.

and runner up will be Surf's Up. That's just my guess.

The Simpsons Movie!

yeah I think it will be Ratatouille or the Simpsons. Maybe the Simpsons, and save the Oscar for WaLL-E!

I wonder if there is any chance that we will see 5 nominees this time ? Well... not really big chance, considering there was unusually big number of animated movies last year and still not enough (I wish Minimoys were actually eligible to compete... there was really cool animated villain in that movie!)...
So... if there WILL be 5 nominees after all, I bet Robinsons have good chance to be among them

I really hope there's 5. I'd love to see Meet the Robinsons nominated for Best Animated Feature.

(If it did actually win, especially over Ratatouille and Shrek the Third, WDFA would regain A LOT of respect and clout in media circles as well as in Hollywood.)

(very entertaining!

Good points in both.

While (to be honest) MTR doesn't look like a winner to me (especially among its potential rivals) I hope it's gonna be good enough to be nominated

If it's three, it's Ratatouille, Surf's Up and Simpsons.

Rat and The Simpsons (unless it sucks for some reason) are shoe-ins Surf's Up looks pretty good, but after the pile of junk that was Open Season I'm not too sure if I should trust Sony Animation. Same goes for MTR, although hopefully Lasseters' changes on that will make it better than ChickLit was!

Oops!

Forgot to post that my review of Open Season went live a couple of days ago (but you guys should be checking Animated Views too!!):

http://animated-views.com/2007/open-sea ... l-edition/

You might notice I didn't take to it very well, coming across as it did as "a schizophrenic movie that wasn’t the heart-warming family comedy it thinks it is or the outrageously crude one it really wants to be".

Better looks to be coming with Surf's Up, hopefully...

Yikes. Glad I didn't see that one in the theaters, then. I hope Surf's Up doesn't have the same crudeness problem, because visually it looks great so far. I loved the lighting and backgrounds in the previews I saw from Open Season, but I thought the character designs (especially Elliot) were just plain ugly.

I thought the character designs were pretty good - one of the only perks the film offered.
