Jennifer Yuh Nelson's "Kung Fu Panda 2" dominated the Annie Awards nominations, but the International Animated Film Society decided to give its highest honor -- the Best Animated Feature award -- to Gore Verbinski's "Rango." Both films are from DreamWorks Animation and they still have to duke it out at the upcoming Oscars in the Best Animated Feature Film category.
Besides the Best Animated trophy, "Rango" also collected awards for Best Editing and Writing.

I'm a huge fan of animation, animated films are getting better and better. Not only is the look and animation getting ridiculously awesome, but I find that many of these animated films actually have incredibly good stories. Not all of them are good though, for example, Cars 2 and Rio sucked. It will be interesting to see who ends up taking home the awards this year. Out of the movies on the list that I've seen and liked we have Puss in Boots, Rango and Kung Fu Panda 2. I guess it's no surprises that Kung Fu Panda 2 is leading the nominations with 9. Check out the list and let us know what your favorite animated movies of the year are!

Nickelodeon has their fair share of characters with super powers, and even the fairly odd. But Nick's latest caped twosome are actually more "super fans" than superheroes. "Fanboy & Chum Chum," which premieres on Nickelodeon November 6th, doesn't star two superheroes but it does feature some superstar voice talents. Among them are "Ghost Whisperer" star Jamie Kennedy and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" star Josh Duhamel.
Fanboy and Chum Chum are obsessed with all things fantasy and comic books. Armed with their super imaginations, the pair don their tights and then their underwear on top of that before heading out on their daily adventures. In the first episode, Fanboy and Chum Chum welcome wizard school-expellee Kyle, voiced by Kennedy, into their circle.
The CGI-animated show, based on "Random! Cartoons" short "Fanboy," was created by Eric Robles and is produced by Frederator Studios, who also produces "The Fairly OddParents" for the network.

As it expands its circle of producers, Sony Pictures Animation has struck a multiyear, first-look deal with Fred Seibert and his Frederator Studios to develop animated features.
A former president of Hanna-Barbera Prods., Seibert founded Frederator in 1998. He has produced 16 series for television, including Butch Hartman's "The Fairly Oddparents," Genndy Tartakovsky's "Dexter's Laboratory" and Craig McCraken's "The Powerpuff Girls."
Eric Robles' "Fanboy & Chum Chum" will debut on Nickelodeon in October, and Pendleton Ward's "Adventure Time" launches in May on Cartoon Network. Frederator also has "Samurai Jack" in development at Paramount with Bad Robot Prods.
In 2006, Siebert ventured into online video, creating the Next New Networks, which has launched 25 online micro-networks featuring short content.
Sony Pictures Digital Prods. president Bob Osher, who announced the deal along with Spa president of production Hannah Minghella, first worked with Seibert when Osher was at Turner Entertainment and the producer was at Hanna-Barbera.

Nickelodeon has picked up two animated series: a spinoff of Nicktoons Network's "Random! Cartoons" that features a high-profile voice cast and an interactive series created by the team behind Nick's "Blue's Clues."
The network has ordered 26 episodes of the CG-animated series "Fanboy and Chum Chum," a spinoff of the "Random!" collection of anthology shorts, and has greenlighted 20 episodes of the math-themed "Team Umizoomi," which combines 2-D and 3-D animation with live action.
"Fanboy" centers on a fearless, comic book-loving 10-year-old named Fanboy (David Hornsby) and his best friend and trusty sidekick, Chum Chum (Nika Futterman), whose wide-eyed acceptance of the bizarre is the perfect complement to his friend's hyper imagination. The voice cast includes Jamie Kennedy, Josh Duhamel and Estelle Harris. "Fanboy" is created by Eric Robles and is executive produced by Robles, Steve Tompkins and Fred Seibert. It premieres next year.
