For more than 30 years, the “Wallace & Gromit” franchise has drawn the attention of fans through its prominent use of eye-catching claymation, interesting characters, witty humor and Buster Keaton-like escapades.

Both Aardman Animations’ Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (a decidedly very British film) and Dreamworks Animation’s The Wild Robot (a decidedly not-so British film) put in a strong showing with three nominations apiece. Not to be overlooked, Gints Zilbalodis’ Flow also showed strength with two nominations.
