Grande sorpresa all'edizione 2020 degli Annie Awards, il maggior riconoscimento dell'industria hollywoodiana per il cinema d'animazione; a trionfare con ben 7 premi, incluse le categorie maggiori, è il cartoon originale Netflix Klaus - I segreti del Natale.
Klaus, il film diretto dal regista Sergio Pablos, batte Frozen II - Il segreto di Arendelle e Missing Link,. entrambi candidati a 8 statuette favoriti della vigilia. Ora, la sfida all'Oscar al miglior film animato si fa apertissima: il Golden Globe lo aveva conquistato a sorpresa Missing Link della Laika Animation, mentre i premi dell'industria sono attualmente a favore di Toy Story 4. A chi andrà il Bafta e poi l'Oscar di categoria?
