We all know that animation has been overlooked in the Best Picture category. However, animated films found success in the music categories, which was deservedly earned, especially during the Disney Renaissance. While it makes sense for voice actors to not be nominated in acting categories, I am shocked that there hasn’t been an animated film to win Best Screenplay even though nine have been nominated. These films were Toy Story, Shrek (adapted), Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3 (adapted), and Inside Out. Those films were funny, heartwarming, and endearing for not only kids, but adults as well. As of this writing, it has been 10 years since this feat has occurred. Do you think that we will see an animated film win best screenplay in the near-future? Also, what animated films do you think should have won?

For me, I stopped watching cartoons on Nickelodeon at the age of 12 back in 2017, mostly due to the pressures of middle school. When I was 13, I was more settled in, so I got back into watching cartoons, particularly Disney movies. I saw The Grinch (2018) Aladdin (2019), and Toy Story 4 in the theater. I also watched the Descendants movies, just in time for release of Descendants 3. I don’t watch SpongeBob on a regular basis anymore, I used to hate it as a teen, but now, I do have positive feelings towards it since I had fond memories of it.

TL;DR I grew out of children’s media at the age of 12, but went back to it at 13 and it makes up 90 percent of what I watch.
