I think we have a ways to go, but I think the fact that we made it into that category twice now, we have accomplished something. I think the fact that two years running now we have had animated films that have made it and received Best Picture nominations show that the walls between live action and animation are becoming a bit more permeable. When asked if the Best Picture nominations for 'Toy Story 3' (and last year's for 'Up') meant the Academy was becoming more accepting of animation, Unkrich said, 'I do.

And does this mean we did? I guess, finally!' Not only were we having to make the next Pixar film which is a huge responsibility in and of itself, but to make a third, when third films are always terrible, right? They're never, ever good! And somehow I guess we're masochistic we thought we could somehow pull it off.

'I like to call it 'fear-based filmmaking,' because each and every day we kind of lived in fear of messing it up, and then it was up to us to make the best movie that we possibly could. After accepting the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, Lee Unkrich told reporters that directing the film felt like 'a huge, crushing responsibility' after the success of the first two 'Toy Story' films.
