As for feature films, having not seen Song of the Sea, Cheatin’ or Kaguya, I have to admit I haven’t completely loved any this year – I’d be fine with Lego or Dragon; Boxtrolls or Book of Life winning would be alright too – I personally think outside of Baymax, Disney kind of phoned it in with Big Hero 6, so I’m actually hoping it doesn’t win Best Film (Best production design might be okay, though I think BoL deserves it more), but if it does, eh.

The charm and visual style is what helps elevate Captain Toad (for example). Mario Kart > Forza Horizon

There are much better games with visuals just look at Nintendo’s lineup. Its art style is so vast and unique (smash is a great example), that they are the most visual stunning

But if Hero wins then I’ll be really really happy.

I didn’t love The Boxtrolls all that much, but I know that stop-motion animation has a lot of craft in it, so the I get why it got all of those technical nominations.

I’m very happy to see The Tale of Princess Kaguya, The Book of Life and Song of the Sea get recognition. But I’m still rooting for the main three: How To Train Your Dragon 2, The Lego Movie, and Big Hero 6.

The only thing I was disappointed about was the lack of a best animated feature nomination for Mr. Peabody & Sherman. I thought it was so charming and fun.
