The 53rd Annie Awards - Winners from The Walt Disney Company

Tonight marks the 53rd Annie Awards, celebrating the best in the art of animation over the last year, with a live ceremony held at UCLA's Royce Hall. The awards are populated with plenty of noms from around the world of animation with Pixar's Elio and the smash-hit, KPop Demon Hunters in a tie for the most nominations, with 10 noms each. Pixar also secured six noms for their Disney+ series, Win or Lose. Walt Disney Animation Studios’ box office powerhouse Zootopia 2 also garnered seven noms this year.

Other nominees that appear throughout- Little Amelie or the Character of Rain also have seven noms, with The Bad Guys 2 coming in with five. Arco also has five noms, and The Twits and Scarlet each have three. The one man show, Snow Bear, a short film completely crafted by Disney Veteran Aaron Blaise, also comes in with two nominations.

Despite all these nominations, Pixar's Win or Lose was the big winner in terms of The Walt Disney Company, with the big winner of the night, K Pop Demon Hunters, taking home the Annie for all 10 categories it was nominated in. Outside of those wins, Common Side Effects was also a big winner for the night, taking home several awards.

For Disney Fans, another big win was one of this year's Winsor McCay Award honorees - Chris Sanders, who is a veteran Disney animator who is more commonly known to Disney fans as the Director of Lilo & Stitch (and voice of Stitch as well), along with other projects, like The Wild Robot, How to Drain Your Dragon, and more.
