(Will be preceded by the animated short Blue Umbrella) | A snail wants to be a racer. Sounds a bit like a rat wanting to be a chef and that would never wo... oh, right. okay. Carry on. | The latest Miyazaki is opening in July in Japan. Will it transfer here in time? Disney usually distributes Miyazaki in the States so who knows contractually... | This hand drawn charmer about a bear and mouse who become friends after he nearly eats her won strong reviews.

| an environmental nimated adventure (Fern Gully anyone?) about the tiny beings battling evil in the forest | This Argentinian adventure about foosball team come to life is from an actual Oscar winner -- Juan Jose Campanella directed the Best Foreign Film winner The Secret in Their Eyes. Will it seek eligibility? | From the director of Horton Hears a Who. This used to be called Turkeys and its about two birds travelling back in time to stop the Turkey eating tradition of Thanksgiving. (With the voices of Woody Harrelson & Owen Wilson) | A cave man family loses their home and treks to unknown lands. This already passed the box office guantlet. | The animation branch passed over Forman's Waltz With Bashir in this category in 2008 (though it wound up being the first animated film nominated for Best Foreign Film). This film is partially live action so if it's eligible at all, will they course correct? |

DOCUMENTARY FEATUREThese are not predictions but "look out for" notices, since eligibility requirements and releases for documentaries are very hard to track before Oscar makes their semi-finalist announcement.
