Go Incredibles!! It was a good movie. I lvoe Pixar movies because they are so timeless. After a generation Shrek 2 wont be that funny anymore because of all the pop culture references. Shrek might still be funny caus it spoofs more fairy tales.

There's only one thing i didnt like about those nominations... how is it possible that Holly Hunter (Elastic girl) is not in the Voice Acting category???, i think she was the best of the movie.

GO INCREDIBLES!!!

Uhmm.... probably only because it was a big budget movie and people would be upset if it didn't do well in the noms (?)

It was an incredible night for The Incredibles as the film about a family of superheroes who save the day dominated the 32nd annual Annie Awards.

The Pixar Animation Studios film won top honours for best animated feature, best directing and best voice acting for Brad Bird, the film’s director who voiced the diminutive seamstress Edna Mode. The Annie Awards are presented by the International Animated Film Society to honour outstanding animation in television and film.

Winners, including last year’s Finding Nemo, have typically gone on to win the Oscar for best animated feature.

In the voice acting category, Bird beat Antonio Banderas, who provided the voice for Puss in Boots in the DreamWorks Animation film Shrek 2. He also edged out Samuel L Jackson, who was nominated for his voicing of the cool superhero Frozone in The Incredibles.

The film also took awards for writing, production design and music for the throbbing score composed by Michael Giacchino.
