Nessun colpo di scena agli Annie Awards 2017, i maggiori e più prestigiosi riconoscimenti del cinema d’animazione dell’industria hollywoodiana. A trionfare con ben 6 statuette è Zootropolis, imbattibile successo di pubblico e critica della Walt Disney Animation.
Staccati di molto, sono arrivati anche riconoscimenti più tecnici a titoli osannati come Oceania e Kubo e la spada magica, cosi come è arrivato anche un premio per la straordinaria collaborazione belga e giapponese La Tartaruga Rossa, ma è il film di Byron Howard e Rich Moore a fare la parte del leone con riconoscimenti a Film, Regia e Sceneggiatura in primis.
L’Oscar al Miglior Film d’Animazione si fa sempre più vicino:
