The Annie nominations were announced earlier today.  The Annies honor the best in animation and, this year, a lot of attention is being paid to them because the race for Best Animated Feature seems to be wide open.  It’s easy to imagine either Toy Story 4 or Frozen II winning the Oscar but it’s also just as easy to imagine a dark horse like Missing Link or maybe Klaus sneaking away with the award.

Now, I’m not going to post all of the Annie nominations here because there’s a lot of them and space is limited.  If you want to see the complete list, Awards Circuit has it.  Just click here.  However, here are the Annie nominees for Best Feature Film:

Frozen II,

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,

Klaus,

Missing Link,

Toy Story 4

I’ve seen all of these except for Klaus, which I’ll be watching this sometime this week.  Still, if I was guessing, I’d say that these five films will probably also be the eventual nominees for Best Animated Film.  As of right now, I’d go with Toy Story 4 for the win but, again, I haven’t watched Klaus yet.
