Described by some critics as an "animation masterpiece of the new decade", The Illusionist may have its chance in the race for the Oscar of Best Animated Feature. The competition is very strong this year and Toy Story 3 and How to Train Your Dragon have their place between the nominees guaranteed, but The Illusionist may be in advantage in relation to another animated movies (Tangled and Despictable Me) because of its traditional animation and because of being extremely beautiful vissually and emotionally, which make him te favorite of the Academy's "old school" members.
Everybody knows that Toy Story 3 is the strongest contender to take the Best Animated Feature Oscar home, specially when it has a place between the nominees in the Best Picture category. But this movie is more than just a movie, it's also a message to the society and a dazzling and epic adventure of the beloved characters we already know. A critical and commercial sucess that everybody love that took home a Golden Globe, a Critics' Choice Award, a Satellite Award, the National Board of Review and several critics organizations' awards of Best Animated Feature and it's nominated in the same category for the BAFTA Awards. Toy Story 3 will took the Oscar of Best Animated Feature home easily and may keep dreaming of winning the Best Picture one (yes, only dreaming!).
in serious consideration: Despicable Me; Tangled;
P.S.: Despicable Me have been receiving a lot of recognizment from awards, but it is a little bit messy and maybe too commercial and the Academy may not like it. Tangled may not have been receiving a lot of awards and nominations in the Best Animated Feature category as much as other contenders, but it benefits from being a great animated picture in the "princess-and-musical" genre and for being fresh in theatres memories.
