Annie Awards 2014: vince Frozen il regno di ghiaccio

E’ Frozen – Il regno di ghiaccio a trionfare alla 41esima edizione degli Annie Awards, i premi assegnati dall’industria dell’animazione. Il film Disney campione d’incassi ha portato a casa ben cinque premi e si avvia da favorito alla notte degli Oscar del prossimo 2 marzo.

Il film, diretto da Chris Buck e Jennifer Lee, ha portato a casa il premio come miglior lungometraggio animato, miglior regista, miglior colonna sonora, migliori scenografie e miglior doppiaggio (a Josh Gad). Da sottolineare che il capolavoro di Hayao Miyazaki, The Wind Rises, pure trai candidati, ha portato a casa il premio per la migliore sceneggiatura. Il film del maestro giapponese è infatti il principale avversario di Frozen agli Academy Awards, e l’assegnazione degli Annie Awards 2014 sembrano chiarire i dubbi su chi sarà il vincitore di categoria agli Oscar.

I Croods, pure nominato agli Oscar nella cinquina per i migliori film d’animazione, ha portato a casa tre premi: migliori effetti animati, miglior character design e miglior character animation.
