Awards season is upon us, and tonight is the 70th Golden Globe Awards (8 ET/5 PT on NBC). Parents, what is your number one pick for Best Animated Feature Film? Which movie do you and your children just have to see twice? The nominees are: Brave, Frankenweenie, Hotel Transylvania, Rise of the Guardians, and Wreck-It Ralph.
Brave-From Disney and Pixar. Princess Merida is determined to maker her own path in life and defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.
Frankenweenie- From Disney and Tim Burton. This story follows Victor Frankenstein , a lonely boy whose only friend is his dog Sparky. Victor's parents Edward and Susan sign their son up for the baseball team in an effort to gain him some friends. Sparky chases a ball that Victor hits out of the park, and gets hit by a car and killed. Inspired by his eerie new science teacher, Victor decides to bring Sparky back to life with the help of some lightning. Things look to be going great, but Victor's classmate Edgar Gore forces him to tell him how he was able to reanimate his dog.
Hotel Transylvania-produced by Sony Pictures Animation and distributed by Columbia Pictures. Dracula, who operates a high-end resort away from the human world, goes into overprotective mode when a boy discovers the resort and falls for the count's teen-aged daughter.
Rise of the Guardians-DreamWorks Studios. Tells the story of a group of heroes-each with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world.
Wreck-It Ralph-Disney Studio Motion Pictures. For decades, Ralph has played the bad guy in his popular video game. In a bold move, he embarks on an action-packed adventure and sets out to prove to everyone that he is a true hero with a big heart.
CNN reported that they all have a good shot, even if "Brave" might the closest thing to a favorite. Also, "Frankenweenie," Tim Burton's passion project that began as one of the director's first short films before becoming a full-length feature almost 30 years later, is the only one to have been part of a popular, if macabre, Museum of Modern Art exhibition.
