Best Animated Feature
Big Hero 6
The Boxtrolls
How to Train Your Dragon 2
Song of the Sea
The Tale of Princess Kaguya
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to see Song of the Sea (I challenge anyone else to find a way to watch it too) or Princess Kaguya (Brian offered to let me borrow it, but I just couldn't find the time). The other three nominations are outstanding. The "Pixar" effect has definitely bled over to the entire animation community with a continual stream of "kids" films that stand up to pretty much everything made for the adult audience. The only caveat here is the completely ridiculous snub of The Lego Movie. I was puzzled at first with its omission... maybe the voters forgot it was in 2014 (it was released more than a year ago) or maybe they thought that Lego characters were real and it should be in the documentary category???
My Ballot:
Big Hero 6
How to Train Your Dragon 2
The Boxtrolls
My Pick to Win:
Big Hero 6
Shamefully Snubbed:
The Lego Movie
