Every year the field seems to get bigger for the Oscar animated feature race. Here’s a run-down of eligible features.

The Angry Birds Movie

Directors: Clay Kaytis, Fergal Reilly

Voices: Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride

Studio: Sony Pictures Imageworks

Distributor: Columbia Pictures

If “Angry Birds” gets nominated, it will make history, becoming the first Oscar contender derived from a mobile gaming app. To its credit, the bright, high-energy CG toon struck many as far more delightful than such a provenance would suggest.

April and the Extraordinary World

Directors: Christian Desmares, Franck Ekinci

Voices: Angela Galuppo, Susan Sarandon, J.K. Simmons, Paul Giamatti

Studio: Je Suis Bien Content

Distributor: GKids

Inspired by the steampunk-esque graphic novel by Jacques Tardi, this female-driven adventure story takes place in a world without electricity. One of the few hand-drawn movies in the mix, and the most classical.

Finding Dory

Directors: Andrew Stanton, Andrew MacLane

Voices: Ellen DeGeneres, Albert Brooks, Ed O’Neill

Studio: Disney/Pixar

Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures

Thirteen years after Nemo lost his way, this long-awaited Pixar sequel focuses on everyone’s favorite side character. It became the year’s top-grossing movie, live-action or otherwise.

Ice Age: Collision Course

Directors: Mike Thurmeier, Galen T. Chu

Voices: Ray Romano, Denis Leary, John Leguizamo

Studio: Blue Sky

Distributor: 20th Century Fox

Perhaps the blockbuster “Ice Age” series could use a cooling-off period. The animation and 3D technology have advanced by leaps and bounds, though box office dipped for No. 5 (for those who consider a global gross of $406 million “disappointing”).

Kubo and the Two Strings

Director: Travis Knight

Voices: Art Parkinson, Matthew McConaughey, Charlize Theron

Studio: Laika

Distributor: Focus Features

Travis Knight, head of the thrice-nominated stop-motion studio responsible for “Coraline,” makes his directorial debut with what many consider to be Laika’s best film. Dark in tone and epic in scope, this Eastern fairy tale refuses to pander to all audiences, boasting an integrity that should resonate with the Academy.

Kung Fu Panda 3

Directors: Alessandro Carloni, Jennifer Yuh Nelson

Voices: Jack Black, Bryan Cranston, Dustin Hoffman

Studio: DreamWorks Animation

Distributor: 20th Century Fox

Carefully designed not to feel like a pro-forma sequel, this third installment adds dimension to the character by introducing Po’s father. But animators are likely to be excited by the dynamic ways the film pushes CG fight scenes.

The Little Prince

Directors: Mark Osborne

Voices: Jeff Bridges, Mackenzie Foy, Rachel McAdams

Studio: ON Animation Studios

Distributor: Netflix

Though Paramount was positioned to release this eye-popping adaptation of French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s beloved novella following its 2015 bow at Cannes, the studio ultimately got cold feet. Enter Netflix, which could see its risk rewarded if this hybrid of CG and stop-motion techniques lands a nom.

Long Way North

Director: Rémi Chayé

Voices: Chloé Dunn, Vivienne Vermes, Peter Hudson

Studio: Sacrebleu Prods., Maybe Movies

Distributor: Shout! Factory

Director Rémi Chayé served as assistant director on two Oscar-nominated toons: “The Secret of Kells” and “The Painting.” Working on a modest budget, he creates an impressive 2D Flash-based adventure story noteworthy for its smart story and striking lack of lines.

Miss Hokusai

Director: Keiichi Hara

Voices: Erica Lindbeck, Richard Epcar, Ezra Weisz

Studio: Production I.G

Distributor: GKids

A lovely anime tribute to an unsung artistic hero, this Japanese-made feature depicts the life of O-Ei, daughter of the famed ukiyo-e painter Katsushika Hokusai, who may have been responsible for masterpieces attributed to her father. It also boasts one of the year’s best musical scores.

Moana

Directors: Ron Clements, John Musker

Voices: Auli’i Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Jemaine Clement

Studio: Walt Disney Animation Studios

Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures

The co-directors of “The Little Mermaid” and “The Princess and the Frog” make the leap to CG, pairing with “Hamilton’s” Lin-Manuel Miranda on the music, while taking audiences to Polynesia.

Mune: Guardian of the Mune

Directors: Alexandre Heboyan, Benoît Philippon

Voices: Omar Sy, Izïa Higelin, Michaël Grégorio

Studio: ON Animation Studios

Distributor: GKids

Although rendered in CG, this French toon defies the traditional look of the format, instead offering abstract looking characters in a gorgeously lit fantasy environment.

My Life as a Zucchini

Director: Claude Barras

Voices: Gaspard Schlatter, Sixtine Murat, Paulin Jaccoud

Studio: Pole Pixel

Distributor: Gkids

Set in a foster home for troubled kids, this unique-looking stop-motion project doesn’t hesitate to bring tough issues (abuse, alcoholism) to the realm of animation — or to the attention of young audiences.

Phantom Boy

Directors: Jean-Loup Felicioli, Alain Gagnol

Voices: Fred Armisen, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jared Padalecki

Studios: Folimage, Lunanime

Distributor: GKids

What if film noir were rendered in bright shapes and colors? That’s the feel one gets from this follow up to the Oscar-nominated “A Cat in Paris,” which depicts a supernatural caper in New York.

Ratchet & Clank

Directors: Kevin Munroe, Jericca Cleland

Voices: James Arnold Taylor, David Kaye, Jim Ward

Studio: Rainmaker Entertainment

Distributor: Gramercy Pictures

A fast-paced, action-packed adaptation of the popular sci-fi video game series, this CG animated project brings the series’ wild humor and storytelling style to the big screen.

The Red Turtle

Director: Michaël Dudok de Wit

Studios: Prima Linea, Studio Ghibli

Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics

The nominating committee will be watching with high hopes, not only because the director won an Oscar in 2001 for his short “Father and Daughter,” but also because his first feature was produced by Studio Ghibli.

Sausage Party

Directors: Greg Tiernan, Conrad Vernon

Voices: Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill

Studio: Nitrogen Studios

Distributor: Columbia Pictures

Who said toons have to be for kids? This R-rated comedy from Seth Rogen and company offers more than just sexual double entendres, delivering a sharp satire on religious extremism (and other cartoons).

The Secret Life of Pets

Directors: Yarrow Cheney, Chris Renaud

Voices: Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart

Studio: Illumination Entertainment

Distributor: Universal

An original offering from the computer animation studio responsible for the Minions, this movie takes a tried-and-true formula (“How do pets behave when humans aren’t looking?”) and fills it with adorable critters.

Sing

Director: Garth Jennings

Voices: Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane

Studio: Illumination Entertainment

Distributor: Universal

A massive crowd-pleaser when it premiered at the Toronto film fest, Illumination’s holiday release feels like a cross between “Zootopia” and “American Idol,” casting animals in an amateur singing contest.

Storks

Directors: Nicholas Stoller, Doug Sweetland

Voices: Andy Samberg, Katie Crown, Kelsey Grammer

Studio: Warner Animation Group

Distributor: Warner Bros.

The studio’s second offering, following Oscar-snubbed “The Lego Movie,” could amuse voters with its rapid-fire humor and high-concept premise, though design elements feel a little familiar.

Trolls

Directors: Walt Dohrn, Mike Mitchell

Voices: Anna Kendrick, Justin Timberlake, Zooey Deschanel

Studio: DreamWorks Animation

Distributor: 20th Century Fox

Arguably the cutest animated movie ever made, “Trolls” skews young and, like “Angry Birds,” starts from the thinnest of source material, but entertains with its wild colors, textures, and musical elements.

Your Name

Director: Makoto Shinkai

Voices: Ryunosuke Kamiki, Mone Kamishiraishi, Ryo Narita

Studio: CoMix Wave

Distributor: FUNimation

So far only seen by festival-goers and Japanese audiences (who’ve made it a huge hit), this visually stunning, conceptually creative anime romance blends time travel and body swapping elements to fresh effect.

Zootopia

Directors: Byron Howard, Rich Moore

Voices: Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba

Studio: Walt Disney Animation Studios

Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures

A refreshingly smart and surprisingly timely talking-animal movie, given the tenor of this year’s election race, “Zootopia” offers a “can’t we all just get along” metaphor that only works in animation.
