Amazon has some new kids’ show pilots for its subscribers to consider greenlighting into full series. The streaming video platform has picked up six new animated pilots for its fall 2015 pilot round of children’s programming, with all the pilots set for release on November 5, 2015.
The first two pilots Amazon will release, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and The Numberlys, are aimed at preschool-aged children. Written and developed by Ken Scarborough (Arthur) and based on the book by the same name, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie follows the story of Mouse and Oliver as they start an adventure in one place and eventually end up back home after a flurry of twists and turns. The Numberlys is based on the titular book, app, and short film, and tells the story of five friends who manage to turn a sprout into a tree in their city. The Numberlys...

The Academy has announced the 10 animated short films that have advanced in this year's Oscar race. Five nominees will be announced along with all other categories on January 15, 2015. Worth noting: Between "Footprints" here and "Cheatin'" in the animated feature race, legend in the field Bill Plympton has two shots at Oscar recognition this year. The biggest absence here is "Lava" from Pixar, which was apparently eligible despite releasing with next year's feature "Inside Out." Disney is represented by "Big Hero 6" tag-along "Feast," however. Check out the full list below. "The Bigger Picture," Daisy Jacobs, director, and Christopher Hees, producer (National Film and Television School) "Coda," Alan Holly, director (And Maps And Plans) "The Dam Keeper," Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi, directors (Tonko House) "Duet," Glen Keane, director (Glen Keane Productions & Atap) "Feast," Patrick Osborne, director, and Kristina Reed, producer (Walt Disney Animation Studios) "Footprints," Bill Plympton, director (Bill Plympton Studio) "Me and My Moulton,...

Nominations for the 41st Annual Annie Awards were announced and "Frozen" and "Monsters University" led the pack with 10 nominations each. "Despicable Me 2" and "The Croods" followed closely with 9 noms each.
I am rooting for "Frozen" to win! It's a return to form to what Disney does best -- affecting fairy tale with memorable musical numbers. "Monsters University," on the other hand, was bland. The film bored me on second viewing.
Steven Spielberg will receive the Winsor McCay Award for career achievement at the awards ceremony happening on Saturday, Feb. 1, at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus. Patrick Warburton will serve as host.
