Well, I'm pretty sure The Simpsons will at least get nominated. That movie was the definition of funny.

It would be great to see The Simpsons Movie get nominated. I can definately see Ratatouille getting nominated (and possibly win).

I'm rooting for the Aqua Teens. Not much chance of success, but they're definitely my favorites.

It'll be interesting to see which film comes on top. Ratatouille may be a favorite, but favorites don't always come out on top, and as you saw last year, Pixar doesn't always win. This should be very competitive this time around.

It would be a lot more competitive if they had MORE THEN 3 SLOTS! I mean come on, how stupid is that? Every other category for movies, TV shows, and best script and all those other ones get at least 5 slots for possible winners.

There is a lot of good animated talent in those 12 and to only put up just 3 is freaking idiotic as hell. That's the only award I even care about anymore. The rest are given to the same 5 films NO ONE sees except for one and that's it.

I am surprised that Alvin and The Chipmunks is even being considered at all, it's not a full length animated feature. It's a live action/animated picture.

YAY! Shrek won't win this year!
I see this being what we'll see:
Ratatouille (Which will probably win)
The Simpsons Movie (Which I want to win)
Bee Movie or Surf's Up

I personally haven't seen most of those movies, the only ones I did see are the Aqua teen Hunger Force movie, Simpsons movie, Ratatouille, and TMNT. To be perfectly honest the movies I think SHOULD be in the stupid ass small 3 available slots are Ratatouille, TMNT, and Beowulf.

Now I have not seen Beowulf nor do I plan to but from what I see the movie looks like a visual feast of kick ass animations, and I trust Zemeckis seeing as how he is a kick ass director. I believe Ratatouille and Shrek the 3rd have the best chances of winning (despite I've heard Shrek was craptacularly bad).

I thought TMNT was fantastic and I hope that makes it in the top 3, I felt that was such a better constructed movie in story, characters, and voice acting. Surfs up looked completely stupid if you asked me. It looked like an unintelligent mess of cheap, uninteresting characters and a plot that sounds superbly lame.

However, even though I'm pretty positive Aqua teen will not even be in the top 3, if it does, I will laugh my ass off uncontrollably because if anyone has seen that movie its hilarious to think a movie with THAT kind of content is in nominational status with the likes of Pixar and such .
