Il 2 dicembre scorso la International Animated Film Society ha annunciato le nominations relative ai Annie Awards 2020, i celebri premi assegnati al mondo dell’animazione.

Considerati molto influenti riguardo la categoria Miglior Film d’Animazione agli Oscar, gli Annie quest’anno sembrano propensi a premiare la qualità espressa dai prodotti Netflix, a tal proposito spiccano le 7 candidature di Klaus e la presenza tra i candidati di Dov’è il mio Corpo?.

Il frontrunner Frozen II: Il Segreto di Arendelle è presente con ben 8 candidature al pari di Missing Link, film d’animazione Laika. 6 nominations sono andate a Toy Story 4 e Dragon Trainer: Il Mondo Nascosto, mentre colpisce l’assenza di Il Re Leone da tutte le nominations, a quanto pare il live-action Disney è stato completamente snobbato.

I vincitori della 47° edizione degli Annie Awards verranno annunciati il 25 gennaio 2020. Di seguito le categorie principali, potete leggere la lista completa delle nominations sul sito trovate le altre.
