I breathed a sigh of relief when ELIO made the cut, when I knew it would have some tether to the discussion, when I knew it wouldn't be Good Dinosaured or Lightyeared.

I was also satisfied that Zootopia 2 would make the cut. I was less nervous about that, but I always felt there was a chance The Academy would reject it because it was "too popular" or something.
