Since we got word that 20 movies have been submitted to the Academy for Oscar consideration, everyone has been trying to figure out which five will make the nomination list. Which films do you think deserve to be on the ballots in February? The 20 films that have been submitted are • Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel • Astro Boy • Battle for Terra • Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs • Coraline • Disney's A Christmas Carol • The Dolphin – Story of a Dreamer • Fantastic Mr. Fox • Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs • Mary and Max • The Missing Lynx • Monsters vs. Aliens • 9 • Planet 51 • Ponyo • The Princess and the Frog • The Secret of Kells • Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure • A Town Called Panic • Up

Fox/Blue Sky’s Ice Age: Dawn of The Dinosaurs set worldwide box-office records by taking in over $878.5 million—and became the most popular animated feature of all time overseas. Why do you think the movie was so successful internationally? Do you think it deserves its mass popularity?

Bugs Bunny recently topped About.com's list of Top Animated Characters of all time, followed by Homer Simpson at No. 2, Mickey Mouse at No. 3, Bart Simpson at No. 4 and Charlie Brown at No. 5. What are your picks for Best Five Toon Characters toons of all time?

We understand that Robert Zemeckis hasn’t been giving any interviews for his upcoming A Christmas Carol movie. What is your take on this new take on the Dickens’ classic? Are you excited to see this performance-capture movie which relies on Jim Carrey’s theatrics or are you going to pass?

Have you sampled any of the new fall season's animated shows? Do you like any of the new toons or do you think the best work is still done by classic favorites such as The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park?
