The award will recognize the best cartoon film released in theaters during the year 2014. This year’s list is interesting, as it marks the first in several that Pixar Studios does not have a presence after pushing their 2014 offering, The Good Dinosaur, into 2015. Pixar films have always had a spot on the nomination list, winning the award more often than not.
Of particular note is the nomination for Big Hero 6, Disney Animation’s adaptation of the Marvel Comics series. The nomination marks the most significant Oscar nomination for comic book film yet (Heath Ledger’s supporting acting award notwithstanding). While comic films have been nominated by the Academy before, it has always been in the more technical categories.
This year’s nominees include:
Big Hero 6
The Boxtrolls
How To Train Your Dragon 2
Song of the Sea
The Tale of the Princess Kagyua
The winners will be revealed during the 2015 Academy Awards show on Sunday, February 22nd on ABC.
