The Lady K Academy Film Awards Day 8 - Best Animated Film

I have just been watching an interview with the director of Wall.e Andrew Stanton.  And while the winner of my award for Best Animated Film does not come close to the emotion I felt at watching Wall.e, it was definitely the best of the bunch of last years animated films.


The award for Best Animated Film goes to... Cars 2
As I said above, Cars 2 didn't quite have the emotion of some of Pixar's earlier films like Monsters Inc, Toy Story 2 or Wall.e but it did have a lot of great qualities. My review had this to say:

"Kudos really goes to the background artists at Pixar who have done an amazing job of the backdrops of Tokyo, Italy and London. Each with their recognisable landmarks and lovely little touches which make these movies enjoyable for adults as well as kids.

My favourite of the new characters has to be McMissile, with his 'tache shaped grille and kindly british accent he comes across as a sweet grandfatherly figure, but then he whips out his custom special agent weaponry and gadgets James Bond would be jealous of and you know you have a worthy hero on your hands.

Pixar really are the masters of their craft with unmatched attention to detail, perfect voice casting time after time and ultimately, a sumptuous end film which will become a beloved classic for generations to come.
"

So there you have it. The trailer below is just for extra incentive, if you need it.
