Since the inception of the Best Animated Feature categories, Disney has reaped 7 nominations, however has not won. This year may change that statistic. Frozen, which is being cited as one of Disney's best films since their renaissance in the 90's, is the clear and definite frontrunner in this category. It is funny, well-written, well-animated, with catchy songs and is the best animated film of the year.
However, there is a spoiler in the category. While there hasn't been as much buzz for this film as his previous two films, Hayao Miyazaki has won this category once before in 2002 for Spirited Away and has announced that The Wind Rises will be his final film. If Oscar voters are feeling sentimental then they may go with this swan song.
