Awards season has entered the treehouse. This week, Andrea and Ryan break down the 2026 Best Animated Film nominees — first impressions, emotional reactions, and the only metric that truly matters: which character would make the best plush.

We briefly visit each film, discuss what makes them awards-worthy (or chaotic), and make our official Grown-Ass Kids Club pick for who should take home the statue. Is it prestige? Is it vibes? Is it marketable stuffed animal potential? Yes.
