Annie Awards 2017, agli Oscar del cinema d’animazione pioggia di nominations per Zootropolis

Annunciate le nominations agli Annie Awards, considerati uno dei massimi riconoscimenti del cinema d’animazione e che ogni anno vengono assegnati alle migliori produzioni cinematografiche legate al fantastico mondo animato.

Con l’introduzione della categoria miglior film d’animazione agli Oscar, gli Annie sono passati in secondo piano diventando una sorta di anteprima degli Academy Awards, dato che puntualmente il vincitore diventa uno dei favoriti agli Oscar nella medesima categoria.

Il vincitore degli Annie Awards come miglior film d’animazione quasi sempre conquista poi l’Oscar. Infatti su 24 edizioni (dal 1992) ben 10 volte il risultato è stato poi confermato dagli Academy Awards, considerando che la categoria del miglior film d’animazione è stata introdotta nel 2002 (14 edizioni) e quindi solo 4 volte gli Annie Awards non hanno predetto il verdetto degli Oscar.

2001	Shrek
2003	La città incantata
2004	Alla ricerca di Nemo
2005	Gli Incredibili – Una “normale” famiglia di supereroi
2006	Wallace & Gromit – La maledizione del coniglio mannaro
2008	Ratatouille
2010	Up
2012	Rango
2014	Frozen – Il regno di ghiaccio
2016	Inside Out

Quest’anno il maggior numero di nominations agli Annie Awards le ha conquistate Zootropolis, dopo aver già vinto l’Hollywood Film Awards come miglior film d’animazione dell’anno. Con le sue 11 nominations questa meravigliosa pellicola, frutto della collaborazione tra Disney e John Lasseter, parte come grande favorita anche per la vittoria agli Oscar 2017. Zootropolis ha il merito di dare vita ad un’esperienza narrativa che ricalca la teoria del “pesce fuori d’acqua” seguendo il principio del”Yes, i can” come invito a superare i propri limiti dato che a Zootropolis “ognuno può essere quello che vuole”. Ma questo film d’animazione non si ferma qui, va oltre raccontando una storia
che e’ soprattuto una metafora sulla diversità e sull’integrazione, condannando il pregiudizio “verso chi e’ diverso da noi” come freno emotivo e sociale, capace di generare solo paura e discriminazione. Zootropolis e una città ideale dove convivono tutte le razze (etnie) e dove ognuno può realizzare i propri sogni, vivendo serenamente senza ghetti o fenomeni di emarginazione sociale. Il sub-plot della volpe vittima di bullismo per via della sua natura da preda incarna il tipico atteggiamento di chi teme ciò che e’ diverso da lui. Il cambiamento e’ culturale e parte da noi.

Segue con 10 nomination Kubo e la Spada Magica che ha ribaltato le previsioni superando teste di serie come Moana (6 nominations), Kung Fu Panda 3 e Trolls (4 nominations), Alla ricerca di Dory (3 nominations).

Snobbato nella categoria miglior pellicola d’animazione The red turtle (che ha comunque conquistato 5 nomination) targato Studio Ghibli che sembrava essere uno dei grandi favoriti dell’Award Season. Al punto che molti si auspicavano quello che era successo nel 2003 e cioè quando lo Studio Ghibli spodestò con il film La città incantata i pilastri dell’animazione americana come Disney e Pixar. 

Sorprendono positivamente le 3 nominations per My Life as a Zucchini, film d’animazione che è stato scelto dalla Svizzera per concorrere nella categoria miglior film straniero, mostrando una grande apertura verso le produzioni d’animazione europea.
