Hooray! Congrats to Lee and everybody at Pixar!
Do you have idea why in 2001 Shrek won lots of Best Animated Film Awards? I don't.
Did people really think it was better than Monsters, Inc.?
Toy Story 3 was also named one of the ten best films of the year by NBR. It's the 3rd time in as many years a Pixar film has been heralded as such (WALL•E in 2008 and Up in 2009 were the others), demonstrating a newfound respect for animated films on NBR's part, as none had been so named since the very first animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs back in 1938. I would say that is pretty remarkable.
I hope the Annie Awards don't block off TS3 like they did completely with WALL-E. (And barely gave Up any awards as well.)
Wow this blows me away- not only is it only the 4th animated movie to ever be among the National Board of Review's top 10 for the year, it is the FIRST SEQUEL EVER to receive that honor. I thought for sure The Godfather Part II and the Lord of the Rings sequels would have beaten it to the punch but they were all ignored by NBR!
