Piercing Ken Thoughts: That sure is an impressive list and I see some of the films that I rallied behind in the submission list such as “Toy Story 4”, “The Addams Family”, “The Secret Life Of Pets 2”, “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” and “The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part”. It’s my hope that some of these favorites will win the Big Trophy. What did you readers think about this list? Are there any animated features that you saw this year missing from the rundown? Do you plan on complaining to the Official Oscars people about it? I am sure there is a link for the irate member or the general public in there somewhere. That’s all I have for this post so I will make my exit and see you next time. As you know I am wandering the NY Comic Con and occasionally sitting down to make sure that important transmissions are reaching you.
