Pixar just keeps remaking the same movie and calling it Toy Story 1, 2, & 3.
Will say that Toy Story 3 had a rather unexpected nihilistic sequence towards the end where they all confront their mortality together. I'm sure the deeper meaning was lost on kids, but at least Disney continues their tradition of slipping adult themes into the movies. This time it wasn't a bumblebee telling teenagers to take off their clothes, though.

No no, that was Aladdin himself, not the bee. ;)

Agreed.
There are something like 8 or 9 distinctions in terms of traditional animation, cgi assisted animation, anime, stylized 3d and photorealistic 3d. By calling toy story a "cartoon" you would have to lump Avatar in the cartoon slot as well.
Mikezilla:
Its splitting hairs here. Computer animation, cartoon, animated feature, etc. Boil it down to "Best picture". Its a full length motion picture. I dont see why it couldnt be nominated, or win, for best picture. Apparently the Academy thought the same thing when they nominated it.
I disagree with the Avatar comment. Thats CG mixed with live action. Would you call "Who framed Roger Rabbit" a cartoon? Like the wikipedia article said, cartoons started out as drawings. I used the term cartoon loosly, because I identify with the term rather than "computer animated film".

Meh . . . I'm with Mikezilla here. Y'all are talking about a distinction without a difference. It's a pointless semantics discussion. We all know what we're talking about when we say cartoon. Nobody questions whether to lump Pixar films in with other animations or with live action or something. But suffice it to say that if it is eligible to win the Best Animation trophy (obviously Avatar cannot) it is, for all intents and purposes, a cartoon.
By the way, Beauty and the Beast, a hand-drawn animation, was also nominated for Best Picture.
