Academy Award for Best Animated Feature

The Academy Award for Best Animated Feature is an annual accolade presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It recognizes outstanding animated films that have been released in the previous year. The award was first introduced in 2002 to honor the growing impact of animated storytelling in cinema. Eligible films must have a significant portion of their content animated and be feature-length. Winners are chosen by the Academy's voting members, highlighting creativity, artistry, and storytelling in animated films, with notable past winners including "Toy Story 3" and "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse."
