My Award nominations: Animated Feature

Somebody didn't want to open until ONE week before the Oscars, so I had to hold off on this category. But now that I've seen all the contenders, precious few as they are, I can finally publish my picks for Best Animated Feature of 2013.

Review - Monsters University

End of June. School's out, but many newly-freed students (and their parents) will be quick to reenter the academic world this summer at the movies via Disney/Pixar's Monsters University, a college-based prequel to their beloved 2001 feature Monsters, Inc.

Those familiar with the original won't need much of a refresher course to recall the clever premise behind Pixar's Monsters universe. The monsters rely on the screams of children as their primary energy source, and where do monsters go to learn how to scare the tots? Why, Monsters University of course – or possibly rival school M Tech, but that's a moot point.
