Soul e Wolfwalkers guidano le candidature degli Annie Awards 2021, premi del cinema d'animazione, con 10 nomination a testa. I vincitori veranno annunciati nel corso della cerimonia virtuale che si terrà il 16 aprile.
Wolfwalkers, piccolo film europeo, affonda le sue radici nell'Irlanda del 1650, mentre la pellicola Pixar Soul segue le disavventure nell'aldilà di un aspirante musicista jazz che ha un incidente proprio il giorno in cui si deve esibire live.
Soul e Onward, altro film Pixar, si contenderanno il premio per il Miglior Film agli Annie insieme al film Netflix La famiglia Willoughbys e a un paio di sequel targati DreamWorks Animation, I Croods 2 - Una nuova era e Trolls World Tour.
Wolfwalkers è in corsa per il premio al miglior film indie insieme a A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon, Calamity Jane, On-Gaku: Our Sound e Ride Your Wave. Di seguito la lista completa delle nomination:
