I'm sorry, but as much as I loved Inside Out, it's getting ridiculous how only Disney wins.
shareTell me. What other animated studio deserves Oscars?
shareOP, NO!
Disney generally does make the best animated films. Myself I did not like this film. I thought the Good Dinosaur was better, but the Best Animated Film should be the best Animated Film and not the Best Animated Film minus Disney
...............ZING!
I wish that could happen, 'cause then Ernest et Celestine would've gotten the Oscar it so richly deserved.
shareThat is not the answer. Outright banning a company from winning is just as bad as the same one winning every year. Somehow, someway, the Academy needs to be infused with animation respect...not sure how you do that.

2001: Shrek, Dreamworks
2002: Spirited Away
2005: Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were Rabbit, Aardman
2006: Happy Feet, Warner Bros.
2011: Rango, Nickelodeon
Funnily enough mentioning Disney as they didn't win until Frozen. Yeh Pixar have won a lot but they had an extremely good run from 2007 onwards (about the time the animation game became more respected). Disney will likely win again this year for Zootopia as well.
Let's be honest, of the 6000+ Oscar voters, how many are going to see the 4 or so non-Disney animated films? Most adults find animation to be beneath them, and most Americans find subtitles to be boring.
I bet almost half the voters haven't even seen the Pixar/Disney films, they just vote them.
People need to get over the whole awards thing. It's a small club comprised almost entirely of white men over the age of 60. Who cares what animated movie they pretended to like one year?
So confused, isn't the film PIXAR? I realize that Disney purchased Pixar, but they are still separate studios with separate characters.
shareYes they are separate with separate people:
- Pixar Animation Studios
- Walt Disney Animation Studios
However they do both have John Lasseter as creative director/consultant, and they are both owned by the Disney corporation.
Ironically, animated kids films seem to he the complete opposite of how adult films are awarded. Kid's films that are some the most popular tend to win, regardless of what they're about or how they're executed...and seeing as Disney is THE biggest and most recognizable brand, it makes sense that they would win.
But then you get to adult films, and the most popular ones don't win all that often. People (including myself at times) get angry because you've got great actors like Leonardo DiCaprio doing great films for so long, constantly getting beat out by weirdos like Daniel Day Lewis for films that nobody has ever heard or and/or majority of people simply don't like.
