'Dragon' slays Annie Awards after Disney/Pixar withdrawal

5 February 2011 11:00 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

With Pixar and Disney withdrawing from the Annie Awards in August, "Toy Story 3" and "Tangled" received no recognition from these kudos handed out on Saturday at UCLA's Royce Hall. Between them, these two powerhouse pictures had managed only five write-in bids, all of which they lost. Rather, DreamWork's "How to Train Your Dragon" -- which led with 15 nominations -- was the big winner, taking 10 races, including best picture. It replicated the feat two years ago of another DreamWorks film, "Kung Fu Panda," which won the same 10 awards while eventual Oscar champ "Wall-e" was shut out. Beyond their best picture bids, "Toy Story 3" was in the hunt for best director (Lee Unkrich) and best screenplay (Michael Arndt) while "Tangled" also contends for best screenplay (Dan Fogelman). The extent of the rift was such that eight-time Oscar champ Alan Menken was snubbed for his "Tangled" score. »
