Do u think Disney and Pixar are taking too much credit over animated films?

No I'm not talking about the stuff from the 90's that people thought were Disney movies, this is something different. I know that Disney is known world wide, but when it comes to the awards they are always the lucky ones who win. Same goes for Pixar, now I am aware that Disney and both pixar have won some awards. But there are other times that they didnt win any{Like how Cars was nomiated for best for Best animated film but lost to happy feet. Not much of a fan of both of these movies.}

Personally, I think that the people who are running the awards need to at least give other animated films a chance for the awards. Most of them are even stuff that you wouldve seen coming, like how Up won the award. While people say that Coraline or even Princess and the frog shouldve won the award. What do u think?

I'm actually kind of confused about what your question is. Are you saying that Disney and Pixar win too many awards? That they get too much credit for being the titans of animation? You start out by saying that Disney and Pixar always win "the awards." (It would help to know which awards you mean, since there are quite a few movie awards out there. I think you're mainly talking about the Oscars, but I'm not sure.) But then you go on to point out how there have been times when they didn't win. So I'm really not sure what you're asking.

In theory, the Academy Awards are given out based on which film, performance, or behind-the-scenes work was the best for that year. Other factors do sometimes end up playing a role, but it's never stated overtly. You can't just have the Academy judges come out and say "Oh, Disney and Pixar have already won so many awards, we're just not going to give them any more." That defeats the idea of the award going to the best movie, regardless of factors like who made it.

If we're just talking about the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (which we may not be, but again, you didn't specify any particular award), Pixar films have won five of the nine awards handed out so far. Which is a lot, but not all of them. It's also hard to make any statements about one studio winning all the awards when this particular award hasn't been around for very long. Anyway, nearly half of the awards handed out went to studios other than Pixar and none of them went to Disney Feature Animation.

Who exactly are the "people" who say that Coraline or The Princess and the Frog should have won this year? Up was extremely well reviewed and heavily favored to win, as well as being nominated for Best Picture. There are always going to be people who have their own personal preferences and liked one film more than another, but I don't think some people feeling that those two films were better than Up (if that is the case) means there's some kind of secret plot by the Academy to makes sure Pixar always wins.
