Dsicalimer: I would like to get something of my chest right now, because I'm tired of hearing people saying that Pixar and Disney always rob other deserving films from winning an Academy Award. This is my personal opinion and please don't get the idea that I'm bashing any films or being rude. I'm simply trying to make a point that I don't expect anyone to agree with, but to simply think about. Pixar was a part of my childhood and I have grown up with these films. This is not a way to start a fight but I want to make a point of this:

I'm sorry, but are you saying that because Pixar is in relation to Disney, they are less deserving at an Oscar? You're telling me that Toy Story, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up, Brave and many more of these films are LESS deserving? That they rob the Oscars? I'm sorry but I personally think that is not true. In my opinion the people at Pixar true masters at Cgi, while they are not the supreme studio, the Oscars they have won were fair and square and obivously predetermined. Without Pixar and Disney, there WOULDN'T even be a Best Animated Feature category. It's because of The Disney Renaissance and Toy Story that there is that category. Before there was only best picture and Beauty and the Beast was the first animated film to be nominated in that category. While that didn't win, Disney kept making hit after hit. And like TRIMC 95 said, Disney hadn't won in Best Animated film until Frozen came along, and Frozen deserved that win. And wasn't Pixar on it's own UNTIL 2006? And for the record, Cars didn't win an Oscar, a Disney movie wasn't even nominated for it. Some studios are just better than Disney and Pixar, but when the make an amazing movie, it obivusly goes to them. Isn't Disney the reason why there are even FULL LENGTH Animated Films?

And a direct quote from Wikipedia "Lasseter and Catmull's oversight of both the Disney and Pixar studios did not mean that the two studios were merging, however. In fact, additional conditions were laid out as part of the deal to ensure that Pixar remained a separate  entity".

Am I happy that Big Hero 6 got nominated? Yes! Do I think Big Hero 6 will win? No most likely not. I know that it might not win, but hey at least it got a nomination. Even if it doesn't win, I'm still hoping HTTYD 2 does get it, because let's face it, that one is most deserving as well. Dreamworks did a great job doing an animated sequel so well done. I'm also hoping for Princess Kaguya to win if neither previous titles don't win, because hey, it will be A SECOND WIN FOR GHIBLI!

A counter-point, do you notice the nominees for animated films are either, Pixar, Disney, Dreamworks, Studio Ghibli, etc. These are the 4 main studios that get nominated for an Oscar. At least these are four studios that anyone can name off the top of their head. Why?That's because their pretty much the main animated studios that are insanley popular. Can you name any other animated studios other than these four? While yes there are many other studios that create animated features that are well done like Book of life and Song of the sea, but are they as popular as Disney, Dreamworks OR Studio Ghibli? These four studios are always in competition with each other because they all create amazing films for the world to enjoy. These companies (other than Disney) are all masters so of course they're nominated for an Oscar. Studio Ghibli always comes out with hit after hit, unlike Pixar and Disney. Heck, Pixar looks to STUDIO GHIBLI for inspiration because they think they are amazing animators.

I'm not saying Pixar and Disney are the ones that are supreme story tellers and animators, because there are more studios that create even MORE AMAZING FILMS than DISNEY I'm just sick and tired of people saying that Pixar and Disney rob the Oscars for best animated film. I think that both the Song of The sea and Princess Kaguya derseve an Oscar, but the fact that people think Pixar robs at the oscars just adds insult to injury. For the record, in 2002, TWO disney films (Lilo and Stitch/Treasure Planet) were nominated and they lost to Spirited Away. That goes to show their are more better films than Disney at times. And the first animated film to win in that category was DREAMWORKS (Shrek), which Pixar  was nominated in!

I'm sorry if I came off rude, it isn't my intention to start a fight or cause trouble but I'm tired with all the Disney robs the Oscars. I'm not trying to say that Pixar and Disney are always deserving an Oscar simply because there are films better than them. But when push comes to shove, Disney and Pixar can find a way to come on top. Maybe not for 1, 2 or 10 years but there will always be that one Pixar movie OR Disney movie that simply has to win in all fairness.
