Kaely: Hello Poppers! Welcome to another chat blog review! In this entry we will be talking about the Oscar nominations for Best Animated Picture. Joining me as always is Lulubell.

All of the Studio Ghibli films are some of my favorite. Those are all very well done Anime films. And the one thing those films have that other live action films don’t is story.
