This Year’s Biggest Hits – ‘Inside Out 2’ and ‘The Wild Robot’ – to Compete for Best Animated Feature at the Golden Globes

by

As a cinephile who’s been attending film festivals since the dawn of time (or at least since the late 90s), I can confidently say that this year’s Golden Globe nominations for Best Animated Film have truly outdone themselves! The diversity and quality of the nominated films are a testament to the vibrant and ever-evolving world of animation.

The 82nd Golden Globe Awards, scheduled for January 5, 2025, is fast approaching. As the event draws near, the nominees are being unveiled bit by bit, and we’re thrilled to share that the category of animated features promises an exciting competition this year, as predicted!

The animated feature category is always interesting. It’s usually the only category where animated films can compete. While some animated films may appear in other categories, they are mostly limited to just this one. Unlike live-action films, which can compete in many categories, animated films have fewer options.

Each year, the competition proves to be fierce, with this year’s contenders being particularly outstanding. Notably, the main battle is expected to take place between the two most prominent animated releases of the year – “Inside Out 2” and “The Wild Robot”. In this article, we will delve a bit into these nominations.

Before we start, here is the full list of nominated films for this year:

This year, Inside Out 2 stands unrivaled as the top-grossing film of 2025, earning an astounding $1.699 billion at the box office. Critics have lauded it, further bolstering its position as a formidable choice this year, as previously anticipated.

However, if you assumed that Inside Out 2 would effortlessly dominate this year’s awards season, you were mistaken. Instead, The Wild Robot has left a strong impact on everyone, even though it didn’t match the box office success of its counterpart. Nonetheless, for many, it is one of the most significant hits and a strong contender for the best animated film of the year.

However, the fierce competition doesn’t end there either. There’s also Flow, a film that has won over both fans and critics, leading some to predict it might be a surprise contender this year. This is due to its compelling narrative and exceptional production quality that envelopes the entire story.

Additionally, we offer the intriguing indie tale titled “Memoir of a Snail“, which has come as an unexpected delight to be nominated. Moreover, we welcome back the beloved creation, “Wallace and Gromit“, a film that served as a nostalgic journey while also proving itself as a remarkable piece of work on its own merits, which we found utterly captivating.

The sequel to “Moana” has also earned a nomination, but its success is yet uncertain as it was just recently released. The upcoming awards ceremony promises to be thrilling, so stay tuned with us for more updates!
