Roger Ebert, from www.suntimes.com: "The new animation category got off on the wrong foot by including "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" among its three nominees, instead of Richard Linklater's ground-breaking "Waking Life," which was not only a better film but introduced a revolutionary new low-cost technique for bringing animation into the world of independent film. Perhaps old-line Hollywood pros resent that upstarts from Austin, Texas, could use desktop Macintoshes to compete with multimillion-dollar CGI workstations."

"The judging panel for animated features consists of both animators and Academy
members, but animators who work directly on an entered film should and will remain objective
during the voting
process. "
"We can't ensure (that people won't give their competitors a low vote)," (Jon
Bloom, chairman of the short and feature animation film categories for the
Academy.) said. "But we believe that
people who are voting place values high on their list. No matter what, we think
the best three pictures will
get through."
