WALL-E |
| |
We hate to use the words 'Mortal Lock' in the beginning of December, but WALL-E is a mortal lock for a nomination. |

Kung Fu Panda |
| |
DreamWorks Animation had a great year and it will be up to them to determine which of their two titles they think has a better chance against WALL-E. Kung Fu Panda is our personal choice. |

Waltz With Bashir |
| |
It's this year's Persepolis. |

Horton Hears a Who |
| |
We're not inclined to dismiss this one because the Academy probably does owe Fox a solid for skipping Ice Age: The Meltdown. |

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa |
| |
$160 million in current box office sounds great until you consider that it's $55 million behind Kung Fu Panda and less critically praised to boot. |

Bolt |
| |
Disney is not going to compete against themselves by pushing Bolt's candidacy, which is tragic since it's such a wonderful film. |

The Tale of Despereaux |

Vermin did pretty well last year. |

Space Chimps |
| |
Deserves a mention for the Robert Palmer gag alone. This is a disarmingly charming movie that was unfortunately dismissed by critics. |
