Sad to say but I've seen none of these and heard of less than half of them. Think I need to get out more? ;)

Based on what I've read of them I'll give my support to WALL-E, which struck me as a very touching movie with an important message and a lot of heart. :frankiesmile:

Bolt opens next weekend. Animation producer and historian Jerry Beck has seen it and he likes it, but he does posit the questions as to when Miley Cyrus was brought in as a voice (in a very brief role). The title character, a dog, is voiced by John Travolta.

I can see Wall-E taking this race in a heartbeat, as the academy tends to favor animated films with environmental messages sprinkled in them...(See: Away, Spirited and Feet, Happy.)

I'm routing for Wall-E, but I loved Horton Hears a Who, so I'd be satisfied with either one winning. :)
