]]> It’s time for the Annie Awards!

The 45th annual Annie Awards were a celebration of the animated entertainment industry. Held at UCLA’s Royce Hall and presented by the International Animated Film Society, ASIFA-Hollywood, it was a celebration of excellence, achievements and accomplishments in animation.

Coming in with 13 nominations was Disney’s Coco, including Best Animated Feature, followed by The Breadwinner with 10 noms, including Best Animated Feature – Independent. The Boss Baby earned a total of 6 noms, while Captain Underpants, The Big Bad Fox, Despicable Me 3, The Lego Batman Movie and Loving Vincent earned 3 nominations apiece.

There’s no dont Coco was the night’s biggest winner, taking home the coveted Annie in 11 out of 13 categories. Since the Academy Awards’ Best Animated Feature category was launched in 2002, 11 of the 16 winners of the Annies’ top feature prize — and 4 of the past 6 — went on to win the animated feature Oscar. So if it wasn’t clear that Coco is the Oscar front-runner, it is now,

The evening was dedicated to voice actor and  co-founder of the Annie Awards June Foray, who passed away this July at the age of 99. Best known as the voice of Granny from the Sylvester and Tweety cartoons, ASIFA-Hollywood executive director Frank Gladstone said: “More than anyone else, June was responsible for founding the Annies 45 years ago. This will be the first year she is not going to be with us, so we will do our best to remember and celebrate June’s creativity, generosity and unrelenting advocacy for the animation community.”

]]> The latest release from Disney and Pixar, Coco, has topped the $400 million mark at the worldwide box office. The animated film has earned $138.6 million domestically and $236 million internationally.

Disney shared the success on Wednesday, adding that they still have to release the film in around a third of the international market, including Australia, Italy, Brazil, Korea, U.K. and Japan.

The absolute winner when it comes to international market has been China. Chinese audience brought the movie nearly the same earnings as the U.S. – $133 million.

Coco follows the story of a young boy Miguel as he enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer.

]]> After a two year hiatus, Pixar finally releases its first original film, Coco. 

While the Dia de los Muertos adventure film by the award-winning animation studio was just released (November 22), fans are already eyeing the studio’s future films with relish.

Coming up first with the release date of June 15, 2018 is the sequel to The Incredibles a long 14 years after the incredible Parr family made their first appearance. The sequel picks up where and when the original movie left off, with the narrative shifting slightly to feature Elastigirl as she steps into what is, according to director Brad Bird, the “forefront of the action.” In the family’s new house, Mr. Incredible assumes more responsibilities to do with his newfound discovery of baby son Jack-Jack’s powers.

Up next is third sequel to the studio mega hit Toy Story. The fourth installment in the franchise has a release date of June 21, 2019. The sequel  will be produced by Jonas Rivera and directed by Josh Cooley; this will be the first time two former Pixar interns produce and direct one of the studio’s films together. Even though details about the movie’s plot are scarce, there was a behind-the-scenes video that teased the filmmaker’s suggestive research trip in the form of an RV vacation. Beginning anew with the toy box is living a post-Andy era as they are in the possession of young Bonnie, perhaps this time around it’ll be a family vacation adventure.

A third film has yet to be titled or given a release date. An original by Monster’s University’s director Dan Scanlon, the “modern suburban fantasy” takes place in what looks like ordinary suburbia, however, rather than being inhibited by humans, it is populated by elves, trolls, and their fantastical ilk. In a place where magic existed, but has longed disappeared, two teenage brother creatures embark on an adventure and search of a way to spend “one last magical day” with their late father.
