Spanish animation is in luck as two Spanish cartoon films, The Lost Lynx and Planet 51, are among the 18 animated films finalists to fight for the Oscar in this category with great films such as UP and The Worlds of Coraline.
Sincerely, The lost lynx I don't think he has any option to be among the five finalists, his prize is having passed the first cut, while Planet 51 It will also be very difficult because the favorites are UP, The worlds of Coraline, Ice age 3, Tiana and the frog and Ponyo on the cliff.
