Just like they did last year with WALL-E, Disney/Pixar is pushing UP for “Best Picture” at the Academy Awards. They even have a nice web site pimping UP and all the other Disney/Pixar movies they feel are deserving.

Only thing is, unlike last year when WALL-E was robbed, I don’t think UP deserves it this year. It’s a good movie, but not a great movie. (My review.) I kinda feel about UP the same way I felt about CARS after seeing it the first time. I’ve actually come to like CARS a lot more since watching it on DVD a few times … so maybe Santa will bring us the UP DVD this year and I’ll feel the same way?

That would be nice.
