The International Animated Film Society Awards - the Annies - were presented on Friday and Ratatouille once again came out on top. Walking into the show with seats in 13 nominated categories, Ratatouille walked away with 10. Is Ratatouille the new Mickey?
Cuz apparently Yahoo has caves:
Disney and Pixar’s rodent tale “Ratatouille” won the award for best feature production, beating out DreamWorks’ insect story “Bee Movie,” Sony Pictures’ penguin-powered “Surf’s Up,” Sony Pictures Classics’ coming-of-age chronicle “Persepolis” and 20th Century Fox’s “The Simpsons Movie.”
Not to take anything away from Ratatouille, because this movie was absolutely incredible, but I didn’t really see a stiff list of competition here.
Surfs Up was sad, Bee Movie came and went with no buzz (sorry), Persepolis was a bit too artsy to be widely accepted, and the Simpson’s Movie was an exaggerated TV episode.
Personally I would have liked to have seen Ratatouille go up against some other impressive animated features to see if it still stood on top. I think it would (compared to some of the animated offerings in the last 5 years).
But still, a deserved win for the House of Mouse… er Rat.
