Is ten a lot compared to other years?
Having seen none of those films, I will still venture a guess that Corpse Bride and Chicken Little will be two of the nominees.

My bet is Howl's Moving Castle, Corpse Bride, and Wallace and Gromit.
While I like the first two, W&G all the way.

My next choice would be Howl's Moving Castle.
