Did Suzume Have A Chance At Winning an Oscar?

The Super Mario Bros. Movie stomped on record after box office record following its incredibly anticipated release. The film is nothing short of a phenomenon, and it shows no sign of slowing down. While audiences are enjoying the movie, the one group that isn’t as impressed are the critics, who have given a consensus that the movie is, shall we say, “fine.” Lest you think that critics just simply don’t like animation though, they have been singing the praises of another animated film; Suzume. Directed by acclaimed director Makato Shinkai and distributed by anime juggernaut Crunchyroll, Suzume is the film that critics wish audiences were turning out to see.
