Onward - 1 nomination

 

Best Animated Feature Film - Dan Scanlon, Kori Rae 

On Ian Lightfoot's 16th birthday, his mother gives him a gift from his deceased father who he had never met.  The gift is a scepter and a magical incantation which will bring the father back for just a day.  When the spell only goes sort of right, Ian and his brother decide to embark on a quest to complete the spell and see their dad again. Naturally, their mother finds out about these shenanigans, and decides to chase them on a manticore.  In this magical land, they encounter the most delightful obstacles like a tiny fairy biker gang and much more.  It is everything you'd want from a Pixar film, with a hint of Dungeons and Dragons.

The cast is a who's who with the leads voiced by Tom Holland and Chris Pratt, while the mom and manticore are voiced by Julia Louis Dreyfus and Olivia Spencer.

Onward is nominated for Animated Feature and is utterly adorable.  I don't have any little kids and I enjoyed watching it myself.

Watch the trailer here.
