Sit back and get comfortable because mama may be spending a lot of time in the movie theater this year. While 2011 may have been the year of the 3D kiddie flick, 2012 shows no sign of putting the brakes on the trend! With the re-release of two Disney classics in three-dimensional form, the adaptation of a favorite Dr. Seuss book, and the introduction of a few new heroes, there will be plenty to keep tots entertained in the theater this year. Check out the kiddie flicks we're anticipating the most — and one that will specifically be for the mamas out there!

With 10 movies in the Best Picture category, I wouldn't be surprised if some of these films end up with more than one nomination. Check out the full list of animated film contenders, and tell me which you think is most deserving of an Oscar when you read more
