Link Perdido, Frozen 2, Toy Story 4, Klaus e Como treinar seu Dragão 3 são os cinco indicados a Melhor Longa de Animação no Annie Awards

INDICAÇÕES AO ANNIE AWARDS DENOTAM UMA BAIXA CRIATIVIDADE EM PRODUÇÕES DE GRANDE ESTÚDIO E UM RESPIRO EM PRODUÇÕES MAIS INDEPENDENTES

Com o anúncio das indicações ao 47º Annie Awards, o Oscar da Animação, ficou evidente a predominância de sequências dos grandes estúdios: Frozen 2, Como Treinar seu Dragão 3 e Toy Story 4, dos estúdios Disney, Dreamworks e Pixar/Disney. A novidade ficou mais a cargo de estúdios menores como a Laika, que participa este ano com Link Perdido, cuja bilheteria passa longe de qualquer uma dos estúdios acima.

Apesar da fama e das bilheterias, é a Netflix que assume a liderança em termos de estúdio com maior número de indicações desta edição com um total espantoso de 39 indicações, entre longas-metragens, curtas e produções para TV e streaming. Na categoria principal de Melhor Longa de Animação, a empresa investiu pesado em Klaus, que apresenta uma história natalina. Tenho a forte impressão de que se não fosse a campanha pesada, o filme dificilmente estaria competindo nas principais categorias.

E felizmente, o Annie Awards possui uma categoria para produções independentes, cujos indicados sempre levam pelo menos um indicado ao Oscar também. Em 2019, a animação nipônica Mirai, de Mamoru Hosoda, foi o escolhido. Em 2020, dentre os cinco indicados: Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles, I Lost My Body, Okko’s Inn, Promare e Weathering With You, a produção da Netflix I Lost My Body tem as maiores chances por ter coletado alguns prêmios e elogios da crítica. E, claro, o filme já está disponível no catálogo da plataforma de streaming, o que facilita bastante sua resposta rápida do público. Se bem que, com a escassez de criatividade das grandes produções e ausência do prestigiado Studio Ghibli na competição, pode haver a inclusão de dois ou três filmes independentes na categoria do Oscar, o que pode favorecer Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles e Weathering With You.

Indicados a Longa de Animação Independente: Buñuel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles, I Lost My Body, Promare, Okko’s Inn e Weathering With You
