Monsters, Inc
Osmosis Jones
The Prince of Light
Shrek
The Trumpet of the Swan
Waking Life
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodhunt

The decision about Vampire Hunter D: Bloodhunt's eligibility was reversed. It should be in the list too.

I'd like Waking Life to win, but I'm pretty sure Shrek will walk out with the Oscar.

"Shrek" most definetly will. I rather it not; it's a good film but by no means a great film. "Waking Life" probably won't even get nominated... and it's a lot more better than "Shrek" anyday.

Yeah, one of the writers for my high school paper recommended Waking Life in a review. I need to see that, Metropolis, and Atlantis.

Personally I'd like to see Monsters win over Shrek because I found it more touching and meaningful. Even though it's a cartoon and there are no real monsters in life that live in closets except in the imagination, this film, like the Toy Stories, reminded me of my childhood days when I believed in such things. Shrek has more of an adult appeal, with it's inside jokes and references targeted to the adult audience and at the same time they were able to bring in all the familiar fairytales we grew up with and put them in a hilarious comical setting that was cool. So I have a feeling Shrek will win too, but my favorite is Monsters.

Will there be enough toons to keep having an oscar for animated film? I can think of Metropolis, Lilo and Snitch, Ice Age, PPG: the movie, Some Disney movie this year, anything else?

Most people will go for Shrek, so I'll go for a dark horse candidate: Osmosis Jones. It was funny, imaginative, and completely overlooked. It's a shame.
