Saw today on Cartoon Brew the list of 12 movies submitted to the Academy Awards. Three will be chosen to run for Best Feature Animation. The list is:

“Alvin and the Chipmunks”
“Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters”
“Bee Movie”
“Beowulf”
“Meet the Robinsons”
“Persepolis”
“Ratatouille”
“Shrek the Third”
“The Simpsons Movie”
“Surf’s Up”
“Tekkonkinkreet”
“TMNT”

I hope Ratatouille wins (and also get nominated Best Feature), and the other selected are Surf's Up and The Simpsons Movie.

Also on Cartoon Brew, there is some discussion about the project I did along with Jovan last year. The good is that a lot of people understood our goal: to learn how to animate by following frame-by-frame the steps of a great master. There are some who hated our project, but we can never please everyone...
