LOS ANGELES (November 11, 2009)--A record 20 films have been submitted for best animated feature at the Academy Awards and as long as at least 16 films qualify, there will be five nominees in the feature-length animation category.

Most years, the category has had only three nominees, but 2009 has been a prolific year for animation.

The only previous year in which there were five nominees was 2002, when 17 animated films were submitted.

Submissions include a wide variety of styles, including computer animation of such hits as "Up," "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" and "Monsters vs. Aliens" as well as the stop-motion animation of "Coraline," "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and "Mary and Max"; and the hand-drawn animation of "The Princess and the Frog" and "Ponyo."
