In addition to the BAFTA (British Academy Film Awards), which is known as the “British Oscar”, there will be the 49th Annie Awards Ceremony held by the Los Angeles branch of the International Animation Association (ASIFA-Hollywood). Annie is not as famous as Oscar, but Annie can be said to be the highest honor in the animation industry.
Although the epidemic has affected the film industry, there are not many animated films this year that are of very high quality. In this year’s Annie Awards, “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” (The Mitchells vs. the Machines), produced by Gu Tianle, became the big winner, winning a total of 8 awards, including Best Animated Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, etc. Disney’s “Encanto” won three awards, while “Flee,” an animated film about the lives of refugees in Afghanistan, won best documentary.
Among the works that have won the Annie Award for Best Animated Film in the past five years, 4 sets have won the Oscar for Best Animated Film, which means that Louis Koo has the opportunity to become another Oscar-winning Hong Kong filmmaker. “Family Fighting Robot” was first invested and produced by One Cool Film under the name of Louis Koo. The production companies include Columbia Pictures and Sony Animation. Koo is the executive of “One”. Supervision.
The story of “One” tells the story of a robot that triggers the end of the world and interrupts the journey of Mi Nao’s family. To save the human crisis, we rely on Mi Nao’s long-winded old bean, the teacher’s grandma, the lazy wake-up sister, the cyclist and a dog. The film reminds everyone that although technology is convenient, it can also become an obstacle to communication between people. I hope to convey a positive message through the film. When the list of staff members came out at the end of the film, everyone behind the scenes handed over family photos in line with the theme of the movie, and Louis Koo also rarely shared photos with his parents.
“Family Vs Robot” will compete with “Fantasy Magic House” and “Nowhere to Be Safe” for the best animated film at this year’s Oscars. Other shortlisted works include another Disney movie “Dragon Kingdom” (Raya and the Last Dragon)and Luca by Pixar.
