GKIDS received three more Oscar nominations in 2014 and 2015 with '' Ernest & Celestine '' , '' Song of the Sea '' , and '' The Tale of the Princess Kaguya '' . These latter two films beat out '' The Lego Movie '' , widely considered to be the frontrunner for the award . GKIDS has since released four new films in 2015 , of which '' When Marnie Was There '' and '' Boy and the World '' were in the running for Best Animated Feature at the 88th Academy Awards but lost out to Pixar 's '' Inside Out '' . '' My Life as a Zucchini '' was nominated for the same award in 2016
