In addition, there were several individual award nominees, including Outstanding Achievement in Character Animation, which was met with controversy in last year's awards when Glen Keane was surprisingly overlooked for his work with Tarzan. This year's nominees will also have its share of controversy, particularly in overlooking some of the character animation achievements in Dinosaur and for widely ignoring the UKs most popular documentary ever, Walking with Dinosaurs. Further controversy may arise from labeling films like Stuart Little as "animated features".
