The 85th annual Academy Awards will air on Sunday, February 24, 2013. Here are the movies that are nominated for Best Animated Feature Film:
- Brave: Merida is a high-spirited Scottish princess who resists her mother's efforts to transform her into a more ladylike young woman. Faced with an arranged marriage she doesn't want, Merida runs away into the forest, where she encounters a witch who teaches her a dangerous spell.
- Frankenweenie: Young Victor Frankenstein is a science whiz who spends his time experimenting in his parents' attic and filming amateur monster movies starring his dog, Sparky. When Sparky dies in an accident, however, Victor decides to see if he can reanimate his beloved pet.
- ParaNorman: Norman Babcock is a smart, lonely boy living in the New England town of Blithe Hollow who has an unusual power: he can see the dead and communicate with the spirit world. His strange talent does little to endear him to his fellow students or his older sister, but it draws the attention of local eccentric Prenderghast, who gives him dire warnings of an approaching curse.
