And even then, Batman's only getting the Fathom theatrical release for the exact same reason "Barbie's Starlight Adventure" is:Bill1978 wrote:As the author of that article states, TKJ is ineligible for the BAF because it isn't having a week long release. It has nothing to do with Disney's apparent monopoly on the award, it is all to do with Warner's release schedule. Obviously Warner isn't interested in getting this film eligible for the Oscars otherwise they would have booked a week long screening in LA.
If Warner's so convinced that "Disk is dead", they're going to have to deal with that notion shooting their entire DC Direct-Video Animation industry in the foot. We're going to have to see it somewhere if they want us to buy it on Flixster--or at Target--and they obviously don't want it to be Netflix...
