Kung Fu Panda has collected Best Director and Best Animated Feature at yesterday’s annual Annie Awards, the highest honour in animated films.
Panda’s 15 nominations are a new record, and the film went home with 10 awards in total. The short film Secrets of the Furious Five (a spin-off of KFP) also picked up four prizes. To add to the total, the Kung Fu Panda video game also won an award. Conversely, six-time Oscar nominee WALL-E, one of the best reviewed films of the year and game-changer in the world of animation, did not receive a single prize? What the hell!?
Don’t get me wrong; Kung Fu Panda is a great film (and far better than other DreamWorks pictures such as Shrek and Madagascar). But better than WALL-E? And not just a little better – 15 awards better?! Epic fail Annies.
WHAT??Something can’t be right about that
