Disney animated film ‘Soul’ has swept The Annie Awards just days before the Oscars.
With almost seven overall victories at the ceremony, Soul – which follows the Jazz musicians Joe Gardener (Jamie Foxx) whose spiritual essence traverses the balance between life and death ? led this year’s winners list with the most overall victories (including one for Best Film), followed closely by Cartoon Saloon’s Apple TV+/GKIDS release Wolfwalkers with five (including one for Best Indie Film).
Disney also earned trophies for The Mandalorian’s live-action character animation as well as the music in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Acclaimed musicians Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, and Jon Batiste claimed prizes for their musical contributions to Soul as well, while actress Eva Whittaker’s debut feature performance in Wolfwalkers earned the newcomer a Best Voice Acting accolade at the Annies.
