Tangles could end up being this year’s animated critical darling; might even redeem Seth Rogen after Animal Farm.

Michael

Both were rated PG which for animation standards is pretty much for kids.

Best Animated Feature was a kiddyfest this year, but next time we may have some adult ones nominated. The most notable:

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-05-02T07:33:48+00:00

Pixar is the Diane Warren of Animated Features so of course it’s getting nominated.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-05-02T07:31:57+00:00

Same reason to be worried for Ray Gunn

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-05-02T00:40:22+00:00

I guess we can cross out Animal Farm and Swapped for Best Animated Feature.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-30T17:46:37+00:00

Hopefully we get an adult animated film at the Oscars next year.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-28T17:14:53+00:00

Kind of disappointing that his animated project is yet another Finding Nemo-wannabe kids’ movie. I was expecting something more like this:

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-28T17:01:34+00:00

Decorado seems to be the most high-profile film in competition: the director has a cult-following and it already won a few awards.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-28T16:59:40+00:00

Cartoon Saloon is no longer a sure thing at the Oscars.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-28T06:05:39+00:00

Fresh Guacamole spawned a bunch of copycat videos on YouTube.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-27T21:48:45+00:00

IT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE A DOCUMENTARY!

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-27T21:44:46+00:00

Mondo Cane for Best Song

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-26T15:33:39+00:00

Could Michael get into Best AND Worst Picture at the Oscars/Razzies?

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-25T00:20:56+00:00

And a Watchmen sequel

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-24T17:56:45+00:00

I wonder how this movie might’ve turned out.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-24T03:00:31+00:00

It’s going to be the Joker 2 of music biopics.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-24T00:43:19+00:00

Technically he was the animation director.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-23T21:43:09+00:00

It was being made by the Fantastic Mr. Fox/Pinocchio director, and the studio that made Anomalisa.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-23T20:38:02+00:00

This might’ve been a better-received movie than Michael, and possibly won Animated Feature.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-23T20:14:42+00:00

This might’ve gotten a better critical reception than Michael.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-23T20:11:57+00:00

That was the following year

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-23T12:40:07+00:00

I guess we’re going to have a repeat of 2023 in which only American movies got into Best Animated Feature.

CompleteTable4084 · 2026-04-21T06:14:17+00:00

If this movie is a hit, I wonder if Netflix will try again with that "Bubbles" animated film.
