Episode 119: Animation First and Annie Awards 2019

This week, Nina shares her recent experience of a full weekend at the Animation First French Animation Festival in New York City. An event full of films, shorts, documentaries, panels and more that present french animation at its best. Many of which include the feature films by Michel Ocelot, the emotionally gripping film Funan, and the marvel that is Pinscreen animation. We then close with a round of discussion regarding the recent Annie Award winners, and a brief Watercooler chat focusing on the recent release of Kingdom Hearts 3, Promised Neverland and Salad Fingers.   Want to help us make more episodes?
