At the 79th Academy Awards, which Oscar category nominated Pixar's Cars?

Pixar's Cars was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 79th Academy Awards.

The nomination recognized Cars among the year's leading animated films. The category also included Happy Feet and Monster House, with Happy Feet winning the award. Cars was Pixar's seventh feature and had already attracted major attention for its animation, voice cast, original score, and distinctive automotive world.

Cars received two additional Oscar nominations: Best Original Song for “Our Town” and Best Sound Editing. Those nominations are separate from its Best Animated Feature nomination and can cause the film's Oscar recognition to be summarized inaccurately.

The 79th Academy Awards honored films released in 2006 and were held on February 25, 2007. Cars did win other industry awards, including the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film at the 64th Golden Globe Awards, but that is a different ceremony and category.
