Il prossimo 31 Gennaio 2015 si terranno alla Royal Hall del campus universitario della UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), gli Annie Awards ossia gli Oscar dell’animazione. E quest’oggi siamo lieti di annunciarvi le diverse candidature che si contenderanno il famoso riconoscimento cinematografico; ben 36 le sezioni in gara, in cui sono compresi anche i cortometraggi.
In testa alla lunga lista con il maggior numero di candidature troviamo Boxtrolls-Le scatole magiche, prodotto dalla Laika Entertainment e presentato fuori concorso alla 71esima edizione della mostra internazionale d’arte cinematografica di Venezia.
Boxtrolls sembra essere quindi il favorito a vincere l’ambito Annie Awards; se avete voglia di leggere qualcosina in più su questo cartoon e conoscere le affermazioni di Travis Knight (Presidente della Laika), che abbiamo avuto modo di intervistare a Venezia, potete cliccare qui.
