16 films are shortlisted for the category of best animated film from the Hollywood Academy Awards.
Or what is the same, 15 films fighting so that 'From the reverse' ('Inside Out') does not end up receiving the statuette for best animated film, something that seems inevitable given the success of the Pixar film, which could be nominated in other categories as best original screenplay or even best film.
Pixar could get up to two nominations since 'Inside Out', film that has the nomination assured except capital surprise, you can add 'Arlo's trip' ('The Good Dinosaur'), while Disney will not fight for the award this year as it has not released an animated film.
The great rival of the Disney films seems to be Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson's 'Anomalisa', while the anime is going to have it complicated with quite lazy films such as 'The Boy and the Beast' ('Bakemono no Ko'), 'When Marnie Was There' ('Omoide no Mânî') and 'The Laws of the Universe Part 0' ('UFO gakuen no himitsu').
