Annecy Unveils Anime-Heavy Competition Lineup and Special Presentations for ‘Inside Out,’ ‘Moana,’ ‘Despicable Me’ Sequels
Other Hollywood titles to be teased at the French festival include 'Transformers One,' 'Wild Robot' and 'Wallace & Gromit.'
The country’s main competition contingent includes the Japanese Academy-nominated “Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window” from Shinnosuke Yakuwe, a filmmaker who has found incredible commercial success directing films in the “Doraemon” series. David Baute’s “Black Butterflies” chronicles the stories of three women fleeing terrain made uninhabitable by a change in climate, and “Gill” is the latest from Jae-huun Ahn, who won Annecy’s Contrechamp competition in 2020 with his film “The Shaman Sorceress.” Other exciting titles from the new section include Mascha Halberstad’s “Fox and Hare Save the Forest,” a standout at Cartoon Movie 2023; Denver Jackson’s “The Worlds Divide,” an independent feature the filmmaker animated entirely by himself; and “Sand Land,” adapted from “Dragon Ball” creator Akira Toriyama’s manga of the same name.
