GKids, the studio that does the noble work of distributing foreign animated films in the U.S., has officially picked up Sweden's Oscar entry for animated film this year, the French language My Life as a Courgette (or zucchini). If you're like me, who's often tired of the same looking CG animation that comes out all the time here, this one looks like a gem, and it apparently is to the people who saw it at Cannes. Just from watching this, I'm pretty sure that it will be one of the year's Oscar nominees in the category.
