La Visual Effects Society ha annunciato le nomination alla 16esima edizione dei VES Awards, i premi tecnici dedicati agli effetti speciali.
La The Walt Disney Company è ampiamente protagonista di queste candidature anche se il film animato con più nomination non è Coco bensì, per il rotto della cuffia, Cattivissimo Me 3 della Illumination Entertainment.
