Academy members will vote to determine five nominees for best animated feature film award at the 97th Oscars; films also qualify for other categories including best picture.
Gintz Zilbalodis' feature takes home the Grand Prize, while Adam Eliot's takes the Special Jury Prize along with the Audience Award in a tie with ‘The Colors Within;’ in shorts, ‘Wander to Wonder’ won the Grand Prize and ‘A Crab in the Pool’ earned the Special Jury Prize.
The sci-fi buddy action comedy, the shorts series franchise’s first fully animated feature, follows Porky and Daffy as they uncover a secret alien mind control plot; it was previously expected to debut on HBO Max and Cartoon Network but will now hit the big screen this Fall.
Bruce Timm, J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated continuation of the highly influential mid-90s ‘Batman: The Animated Series’ will no longer move forward at the streamer but will be shopped to other networks.
