If one of the bigger animated movies is a favorite I'd say it will probably be Moana. I think Kubo actually has a pretty good shot at walking away with it though.

The academy likes two things in their best animated feature winners; skew towards being musicals and a central theme that is heavy on sentimentality. Zootopia was a little too close to the comedy realm. But both it an Moana were put out by Disney, so they'll both be getting a heavy lobbying push in Hollywood circles. That actually does more for awareness with the voters than the pre-release marketing and Laika just isn't in Disney's league on that front.

only in the sense they don't have the marketing machine of Disney shilling the movie across 30 different platforms, and 40% of TV stations.

Good movie, loved the visuals - even during the dark parts the kids loved it- the story was very Asian but its still good and held the kids attention-
eastern ending, glad they kept it. When the heroes parents die and could be back - and "die" again lol then "bad guy" gets to live on...not very western tradition lol
