Spanish Animation Booms, Still Looks For Improvement


Spanish artists and producers share their thoughts on the country's thriving animation scene and what changes could help it grow even more.

Shorts and features from the country are achieving notable success at festivals and the box office, while Spanish artists are contributing to some of the most influential film and TV productions coming from Hollywood today. “Unicorn Wars” producer Iván Miñambres argues that another challenge facing Spanish productions comes from poor domestic distribution. Spain is the only country to boast four animated feature European Film Award wins: Fernando Trueba and Javier Mariscal’s “Chico and Rita,” Raúl de la Fuente and Damian Nenow’s “Another Day of Life,” Salvador Simó’s “Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles,” and Berger’s “Robot Dreams.”
