Precursor: 21st Satellite Awards Nominations (2016)

Precursor: 25th Annie Awards Nominations (2016)
By benefit of receiving a double nomination in a single category, Zootopia barely edges out Kubo and the Two Strings for the year’s most nominated animated feature. The two will likely be duking it out for dominance with Kubo‘s more inventive stop-motion animation sure to be a foil to the Disney juggernaut from earlier this…
