What Academy Award category nominated Pixar's Cars in 2007?

Pixar's Cars was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 79th Academy Awards in 2007.

The ceremony took place on February 25, 2007, honoring films released during 2006. Cars was nominated alongside Happy Feet and Monster House, and Happy Feet won the award.

Cars also received nominations at other major awards events and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature. Its Academy Award recognition reflected the film's animation, character work, visual design, and appeal across family audiences.

The nomination is sometimes confused with a Best Picture nomination, but Cars was not nominated in that category.

The Best Animated Feature category was established at the 74th Academy Awards, and Pixar's Toy Story had helped demonstrate the importance of computer-animated feature films.
