To no surprise of animation fans everywhere, Pixar's "Inside Out" won the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature, along with all the other awards it was nominated for.
Even Pixar's first bomb, "The Good Dinosaur," managed to get an Annie for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Animated Effects in an Animated Production.
Sadly, no awards for the Peanuts movie, and the Minions didn't get anything either (normally Pixar manages to brutally beat the competition at these awards.)
Pixar seems to be like this whenever they attend an award ceremony:
mixar award polish

Additionally, "World of Tomorrow" won the Best Animated Short category, and the Simpsons won the Best Animated TV Production for General Audiences, with their excellent "Halloween of Horror" episode.

Unfortunately, the Annies show no love for the Looney Tunes again, not nominating anything related to "Wabbit: a Looney Tunes Production" or "Rabbits' Run" this year... 😣

I know for sure Inside Out will win the Oscar this year. But they haven't won that many Oscars or have been nominated for an Oscar since this decade (not like the last decade and in the 90's). Disney was lucky to win some Oscars on Frozen and Big Hero 6, so I think Disney is getting more luck on dominating the Academy Awards more than Pixar. It shows that Walt Disney Animation Studios is now back on their toes making some highly successful animated films.

But WT*? The Good Dinosaur only got an Annie for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Animated Effects? I was expecting the film to be nominated (even before I've seen it when it came out in November), but because of its failure it only got just one Annie.

Tom Kenny noted Pixar's golden touch at the show by asking "When are we gonna start calling this 'the Pixies'?"

I heard Amid made a stupid rant about Disney winning the Annies. Yeah, see if the Annies ever give him a special award.

Again, why doesn't he just stop this nonsense and concentrate on getting his Ward Kimball book published? He might have a chance with help from The Walt Disney Family Foundation, unless he already offended them in the past.

This might sound droll, but I Amid is the Malcolm X of animation.

Jerry wants to teach the world how animation is a true art form, while Amid wants to force us all to embrace it by any means necessary.

Be careful. Let's not turn this into an Amid bashing thread.

I'm sorry. It's just that he bugs me sometimes.

I know how you feel. But it's not your fault that he's an animator's Al Sharpton.

[TO wiley, who started the thread and as I have no apparent quoting device, on the Looney snug]
Given the type of stories, art, design--"The LOONEY TUNES show" anyone?-and characterizations0--0I mean, how
's Daffy being depicted as, a word for a donkey or a salesman or crazy darn fool duck],
with all due AMCE respect cannot really blame them.

And I LOVED Inside Out (Pixar)!
