..."Whiplash?" You've got to be joking. I won't see that film. Artists have to be beaten to perform to a higher standard. I take issue with that film. It has no place in reality and the mere idea that beatings should be an acceptable standard anywhere in the USA is outrageous.
And why were the animated shorts and full length films given to Disney. No other artist can compete with Disney and Pixar. But, there is talent other than Disney. The Disney animation is more sophisticated, but, it doesn't have the best story line.
The Animated Short that won the Oscar was about the life of a cute little doggie and the fact he ate human food at the height of pleasure in his life. I don't consider any of that a good message. The name of the short was "Feast."
"The Dam Keeper" was the best animated film. It's technical cartoon is not as sophisticated and well polished as Disney, but, it's message was about bullies and friendship and heroic standards. It carried sympathy as it's leading emotion throughout the animation. When is the Academy of Arts and Science going to get real about the CONTENT of animation as well as the technical imagery?.
