As animated films are becoming more and more technically and creatively involved, animated movies are getting greater respect in the film industry. The Academy Awards already have a category for Best Animated Feature, but is it enough? With innovative new films like Astro Boy, Coraline, 9, Ponyo, and A Christmas Carol, the category seems to be too small! I recently read that animated films can be considered in the Best Picture category if the major characters are present in at least 75% of the total running time. So that means, if scrooge (Jim Carey) is in the film for 3/4 of the movie, the film could win the Oscar! Unfortunately, as I have been told, the award business in Hollywood involves a lot of politics and BS, so it might never happen, but we can hope, can't we?
