In a year of such diverse achievement in animation, it seems a particular shame that only three films will compete for best animated picture at the Oscars. The Hollywood Reporter gathered six contenders vying for those coveted nominations -- Bonnie Arnold (producer, How to Train Your Dragon), Roy Conli (producer, Tangled), Bob Last (producer, The Illusionist), Tom McGrath (director, Megamind), Chris Meledandri (producer, Despicable Me) and Lee Unkrich (director, Toy Story 3) -- for THR's first-ever animation roundtable Nov. 12 at Siren Studios in Hollywood.
