Annie Awards 2020, Klaus e Dov’è il mio corpo? vincono gli Oscar dell’animazione

written by Irene Rosignoli

È l’anno di Netflix, almeno per quanto riguarda l’animazione: a confermarlo sono gli Annie Awards 2020, i cosiddetti “Oscar dell’animazione”, che ieri sera hanno decretato il trionfo di entrambi i titoli di punta del colosso dello streaming: Klaus nella categoria Miglior film e Dov’è il mio corpo? nella categoria Miglior film indie.

Il grande vincitore della serata è senza dubbio Klaus: il film di Sergio Pablos ha conquistato un totale di 7 premi, vincendo anche Miglior regia, Miglior character animation, Miglior character design, Miglior production design, Miglior storyboarding e Miglior montaggio. Dov’è il mio corpo? di Jérémy Clapin ha invece vinto Miglior sceneggiatura e Miglior colonna sonora.

Premiati agli Annie Awards 2020 anche la Disney, che ha portato a casa la statuetta per i Migliori effetti visivi e quella per il Miglior doppiaggio, entrambi per Frozen 2, oltre a due premi per la serie di cortometraggi Mickey Mouse diretta da Paul Rudish. Rimane a bocca asciutta Dragon Trainer 3, ma la saga DreamWorks ha comunque ottenuto un premio per la Miglior produzione speciale grazie al mediometraggio Dragon Trainer: Rimpatriata. Completamente snobbati invece Toy Story 4 (che al momento dovrebbe essere il frontrunner per l’Oscar) e Missing Link, vincitore del Golden Globe.

Per quanto riguarda le serie Tv, invece, i grandi vincitori sono stati Love, Death & Robots (sempre per Netflix), Bojack Horseman, Carmen Sandiego e Tuca & Bertie.

A ottenere il maggior numero di nomination quest’anno è stato il film Pixar Coco, con ben 13 nomination tra cui Miglior Film e Miglior Regia a Lee Unkrich. Ma non solo: il cartoon sul Messico concorre anche nei premi legati alla sceneggiatura, alle musiche, all’animazione e persino al doppiaggio, per l’interpretazione del giovane Anthony Gonzalez nel ruolo di Miguel.
Segue per numero di nomination l’irlandese The Breadwinner, dello studio Cartoon Saloon (La Canzone del Mare), che si conferma così frontrunner anche per una nomination agli Oscar 2018. Tra i 10 premi che potrebbe vincere agli Annie Awards c’è anche la Miglior Regia per Nora Twomey, l’unica donna ad aver diretto un film d’animazione nel 2017.
Tra gli altri film nominati troviamo altri successi del 2017 come Cattivissimo Me 3, Cars 3, Ferdinand, Capitan Mutanda e Baby Boss.
Gli altri riconoscimenti per la Disney arrivano nel campo dell’animazione televisiva con i corti della serie Mickey Mouse, il nuovo show per bambini Topolino e gli amici del rally e la serie di Rapunzel.
