2007 Annie Awards: Nominations
John Lasseter and Joe Ranft’s Cars (above, top photo), set in the back roads of the United States, and Flushed Away (above, lower photo), the story of an upscale rat who gets flushed down into the sewers of London, received the most nominations — nine in all — for the International Animated Film Society’s 2007 Annie Awards, announced Monday, Dec. 4.
