Two critically acclaimed animated films, The Wild Robot and Flow, are making a strong case to break Disney's long-standing dominance in the Best Animated Feature category at the 97th Academy Awards.
Gorgeous and critically-acclaimed animated films like The Wild Robot and Flow could break a longstanding precedent at the 97th Academy Awards. Established in 2001, the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature has highlighted some of the 21st century's best animated fare. However, the category has been largely dominated by a singular force in previous years, with the Academy having a clear affinity for the works produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios.
While Disney and Pixar have inarguably earned their frequent accolades from the Academy thanks to the strengths of their films, that domination gives the success of rival films like The Wild Robot and Flow a particularly exciting element. The awards gain some fun suspense when there's a chance of upended expectations. While Disney is still very much a contender for that category heading into the 97th Academy Awards, the critical acclaim and award success of two beautifully animated competitors could ensure that a lingering animation trend with the Academy Awards is finally broken. Flow Won Best Animated Feature At The Golden Globes Instead Of The Wild Robot. Flow And The Wild Robot Being The Front-Runners Subverts Typical Expectations About Disney Animation. Close Flow and The Wild Robot being strong contenders for Best Animated Feature at the 97th Academy Awards could continue an exciting animation streak at the film industry's biggest night. The Wild Robot and Flow have been doing incredibly well with critics, with both films earning an impressive 97% positive score on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing. Both films were front-runners in the Best Animated Feature Film category at the Golden Globes, with Flow ultimately pulling ahead and winning the award. Both films have won several precursor awards as well, which is usually a good indicator of a film's potential at the Oscar
