Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

And the five nominees are...



Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
The Sea Beast
Turning Red

Pinocchio will win, but I think Turning Red is actually better.

Pinocchio is a lock

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

Only saw Pinocchio. Need to see some of these others.

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

I've only seen Turning Red, which is one of Pixar's most "meh" movies.

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

Yeah, I'm normally an auto-watch on all their major features but I've skipped a few, and I heard bad things about that one. Might give it a try anyway, I dunno.

I've heard great things about Marcel though, so I'll just say that one.

Turning Red was alright. It worked for what it was but didn't really have the charm or universality of the best Pixars.


I've only seen the trailer for Puss in Boots and it looked excruciating.

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

Same re: Puss in Boots, and I'd have no interest in it normally...except I've just been hearing great things about it from several different places, so I'm gonna give it a try.

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

Yup I'll also try to get to Puss in Boots cause I've heard really good things.

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

Yeah Turning Red was lower tier Pixar but hey I did like that it was set in my city. Actually pretty close to the area of the city it was set.

The Sea Beast? I wasn’t even aware it existed.

My three-year-old granddaughter was watching it one day, via Netflix. I had never heard of it before that, and I hadn't thought about it since. Until I heard it called this morning.

I've only seen two of the nominees but I think Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio is a dead lock on this one.

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

I've seen Pinocchio, Turning Red, and Sea Beast. I think the best one was Turning Red and The Sea Beast was really good. Pinocchio was good but it is mainly because its technical features.

I agree with you regarding Turning Red...severely overrated.

I've seen 4/5 so far - I'm only missing Marcel the Shell With Shoes On.

It really seems like this is a two-horse race between Marcel and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio. With the latter you've got a classic story everyone loves, and it's been animated in a wonderful and incredibly detailed manner. Not only that but providing the voices are some of the greatest talents on Earth. It looks good, sounds good and is great - when I saw it I thought it was a lock, but there's heaps of talk about Marcel also, so that one is challenging.

I thought Turning Red was just average. The Sea Beast was good, and the "beasts" in that film were incredibly well created and beautiful to watch. Puss in Boots was a lot of fun, and possibly the funniest out of the five, but it doesn't have that extra dimension needed to win.

Haven’t seen Puss In Boots or Sea Best, but I don’t plan to. I used to be so into animation, I don’t know what happened. Pinnochio by a nose over Marcel. Get it?

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

This category is tight. Probably tightest of the lot. I see Pinocchio winning. But it could easily be any of the others. Apart from Sea Beast. It was good, but not a winner!

Re: Oscar's Best Animated Feature 2023
 

Turning Red with its message, Marcel the Shell was very deep and thoughtful movie, Puss in Boots was subtle with its humour and was a great laugh. If its not Pinocchio i would love to see Marcel win it, but Oscars love the big names.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio was named Oscar's Best Animated Feature.
