Complete List Of Academy Award Winners for Best Animated Feature Film

The need for a complete list of Academy Award winners and nominees for Best Animated Feature started when Beauty and the Beast changed the way the Academy looked at animated films. The film was rightly considered in the Best Picture category, but it caused many to realize that animated feature films were often overlooked for Oscars. The success of this film lead to the creation of the Academy Award Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. It was first given out at the 74th Academy Awards, held on March 24, 2002.

And what was the first film to win the Oscar for best animated feature? Just look down the complete list of Academy Award winning and Oscar nominated films.

Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film nominations and winners are voted on by the full members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. If there are 16 or more films eligible for consideration in this category, five films are nominated for the award; otherwise there will only be three films nominated. The Academy rules state:

An animated feature film is defined as a motion picture of at least 70 minutes in running time, in which movement and characters’ performances are created using a frame-by-frame technique. In addition, a significant number of the major characters must be animated, and animation must figure in no less than 75 percent of the picture’s running time.

The Academy Award year is the year the Oscar is awarded; it is for movies of the previous year.
