Animal of the Year
*new category* We've done lists of these frequently over the years so we've made it official. |

 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Cat (animators) FLOW |
Citizen Dondas (monkey) GLADIATOR II |
Doctor Dillamond |
Feathers McGraw (penguin) WALLACE & GROMIT: MURDER MOST FOWL |
Frodo (cat) A QUIET PLACE - DAY ONE |
|
Let this feline by an aspirational figure to all even if none of us can be this cute. May we all survive dangerous times through community. Collaborate. Trust. Love. |
Macrinus isn't the only social climber in the palace. Marvel at Dondas' sly long game eventually become the highest ranking non-human in Roman (movie) history. |
The worst part of the stage show works on film --How about that? Something terrible is happening in Oz if this adorable professor is in danger. |
It will never not be funny to imagine a penguin as an evil mastermind. Welcome back, Feathers. Here's a nail file. Break out again immediately. |
Curiousity did not kill this cat. But this loveable, support-animal feline sure tested the truth of that idiom. Otherwise, what a smart, sleek, and stealthy survivor. |
|

Semi Finalists: Fink (fox) in The Wild Robot; Pimpao (Dog) in I'm Still Here; Brightbill (goose) The Wild Robot; Paddler (beaver) The Wild Robot |
