149 - Bootlegg'd - Rango

What does it take to win the Oscar for Best Picture for Animated Feature? Does it take a story of high adventure, complex comedy, and social commentary? A grand epic with new and beautiful animation techniques that questions the nature of the self and its relationship to art and history? Can it handle having a mushy middle and a confused ending? It can if the Disney/Pixar movie that year was Cars 2.
