As parts of swathing budget cuts, the BBC announced late May that CBBC will morph from a broadcast to online channel. There’s war in Europe, decimating Russia’s presence. China, once a major force at Annecy’s MIFA market, will largely be a no-show this year. Yet the industry is still barrelling from one shock to another. It is certainly not pulling out, however, as a potentially dazzling Annecy Showcase may well be interpreted as underscoring. Netflix may be scaling back its animation. streaming giant also announced a European slate of eight animated titles, including “Ember,” Sergio Pablos’ follow-up to the Oscar-nominated “Klaus,” and “Seven Bears” from Folivari producer Didier Brunner, whose films have scored four Academy Award nominations.

This May, Netflix announced it was scrapping a bevy of animated projects and titles in production, including “Wings of Fire,” from executive producer Ava DuVernay. Michel Hazanavicius’ “The Most Precious of Cargoes,” Chiara Malta and Sébastien Laudenbach’s “Chicken for Linda!” and “They Shot the Piano Player,” from Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal, figure among the most anticipated Annecy Works in Progress. In Annecy competition, Alberto Vásquez’s “Unicorn Wars,” a brutal anti-war fable and Angola-set “Noyola,” look like early frontrunners. “Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai” and Brazil’s “Perlimps,” which has just dropped gorgeous trailer, are currying large anticipation.

There’s good word on Kid Cudi’s “Entergalactic” and the finally coming together sci-fi fantasy movie “Nimona” – which also feature at Netflix’s Annecy Showcase. One big question is whether any new footage of Pinnochio will merely stoke buzz that this is a forerunner for a 2023 best animated picture Academy Award. In highlights, Annecy 2022 should dazzle. But distributors just don’t get enough pitches for commercial animated movies.” said David Michel, whose Cottonwood Media “Around The World In 80 Days,” produced with Studiocanal, was France’s biggest international box office hit in 2021. “Wide audience family features – animated adventure movies, comedies for kids and families – are doing really, really well at the box office in France. We’re just producing more than we’ve ever have,” said Prynoski.įamily entertainment remains a bastion of theatrical box office. “Every streamer which isn’t already in the animation game pretty much wants to be in it. One, most obviously, is that there are ever more buyers playing especially in the OTT space. Either circumstances have played consistently in Annecy’s favor, or it feeds off robust industry fundamentals.
That said, Annecy double-decade growth has been extraordinary: Some 4,000 badge-holders at the turn of the century, 7,000 when Jean became artistic director in 2013, which has now nearly doubled, Jean points out. Few platforms are better for promotion than Annecy. “In recent talks, when we asked sales agents or producers what’s important for the success of their film, everyone’s saying theaters as well,” says Rodney Uhler. “People are excited to get out and go to the movies and they’re looking for family events and we have so many movies coming out,” said Naito who at her Annecy Presentation will share a new clip of “Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank.” Now, distributors want to rev up excitement on their major shows, including big theatrical plays.

During the pandemic, Paramount and Nickelodeon Animation greenlit over 10 new projects across series and movies, combined Paramount and Nickelodeon Animation and broadened its strategy into theatricals, and hired nearly 1,000 artists to work to support all of their shows, said Naito. “During the pandemic we saw obviously a huge, huge boom in animation production, generally, because they had the ability to work and create content remotely,” says David Jestaedt, Gkids president. So everyone’s really excited to come back to Annecy.” He adds: “On the creative side, many, many talents, especially young talents, haven’t been able to screen and showcase what they’ve been doing for two or three years. So many buyers and sellers are basically falling back on Annecy,” says David Michel, president of Cottonwood Media, part of Federation Entertainment. “Kidscreen was pushed back to July, not everyone went to MipTV.
