I happen to like Treasure Planet. It was a strong adventure film and decently entertaining. More so than that codswallop Home on the Range...

I remember liking Treasure Planet too. It's entertaining and a step up from Atlantis. But it's pretty difficult to get terribly worked up about it.

They are.

Rintaro's Metropolis was released in the US in '02. It's uneven, but ambitious. Certainly more worthy than most of the nominees.

Bill Plympton's second feature Mutant Aliens is uneven and totally inappropriate for stereotypical "middle America", but has merit. Honestly, I never sat through Spirit or Treasure Planet myself so I don't know if they're actually as boring as they look to be.

Preserve Spirited Away. This was a pretty lame year for Animated Features. I like Lilo & Stitch enough but is there anything that I'm not seeing that warrants a nod here?

LATE MINUTE NOTE - thanks, rain bard.
