2012 was a big year for family movies, especially from Walt Disney Studio’s who brought us plenty of excitement to the big screen in films like Brave, Lincoln, Marvel’s The Avengers, Wreck-It Ralph, and Frankenweenie. Yesterday morning the Oscar nominations were announced and I was happy to hear that all of these films mentioned earned at least one Oscar nomination with Lincoln earning an outstanding twelve nominations!

Which Walt Disney Studios’ film was your favorite? I for one have to go with Marvel’s The Avengers. I really enjoyed it on the big screen and again on blu-ray at home with my family. Brave is a close second for me, I enjoyed the movie, but mostly because this was so much fun.

Toss up between Frankenweenie, Wreck-It Ralph, or the Paperman short for me. Lincoln was just okay IMO (needed to be shorter) and I thought Brave was a little disappointing, though I loved everyone’s red hair!

wreck it ralph was our favorite!
i saw the preview and thought daniel day lewis was amazing….he looked so much like lincoln, truly a great actor….
Whoa! Way to go, Disney
I really like Brave. It’s such a fun movie, and not too cutesy (as far as princess movies go). I would like to see Lincoln and Wreck-it Ralph. So many good movies lately!
