Twelve movies are under consideration for the best-animated-film Oscar, meaning that there will be three nominees, Variety reported.
The movies submitted include 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 and TMNT. Chipmunks, Beowulf and Persepolis must still complete a portion of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' qualifying rules to advance in the voting process. Of the 12, four are cel-animated (Aqua Teen, Persepolis, Simpsons and Tekkonkinkreet). That's a big jump from last year, when there were only two cel movies. Alvin combines live action and computer animation. Nominees for the 80th Academy Awards will be announced on Jan. 22, 2008. http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=45432 Yahoo!
