The work of Guillermo del Toro under the Netflix label will compete for the main categories of the contest, such as those for best film, best direction, best soundtrack, best special effects or best dubbing.
Pinocchio has already swept the animation section of the two big events of the awards season that have developed so far, the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice.
The film is the result of work that Del Toro himself acknowledged lasted 15 years because it was filmed in a photo-to-photo animation format (stop motion).
This same technique was used by the A24 studio for the creation of Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, a production that has had a notable reception on the platform HBO Max.
Last year, The Mitchells vs. the Machines, from Netflix, won the Annie award resoundingly by bagging 8 awards and being nominated for an Oscar for best animated film, an award that ended up taking the phenomenon Encanto (Disney).
On the other hand, the television section of the Annie’s 50th anniversary will feature the latest installments of The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, Bob’s Burgers, Harley Quinn and Tuca & Bertie as contenders in its premier category, the best series for adults .
