RAFU STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Animated features from Japan were among the nominees for the 47thannual Annie Awards, which were announced by the International Animated Film Society (ASIFA-Hollywood) on Dec. 2.
In the Best Indie Feature category, three of the five nominees were from Japan: Makoto Shinkai’s “Weathering with You,” Kitaro Kosaka’s “Okko’s Inn,” and Hiroyuki Imaishi’s “Promare.” Also nominated were “I Lost My Body” from France and “Bu?uel in the Labyrinth of the Turtles” from Spain.
“Weathering with You” (Japanese title: Tenki no Ko”), a boy-meets-girl tale with supernatural elements, was also nominated in the following categories:
Best Direction-Feature — Shinkai is nominated along with Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck for “Frozen 2,” Jeremy Clapin for “I Lost My Body,” Sergio Pablos for “Klaus,” and Chris Butler for “Missing Link.”
Best Writing-Feature —?Shinkai is nominated along with Jennifer Lee for “Frozen 2,” Dean DeBlois for “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,” Jeremy Clapin and Guillaume Laurant for “I Lost My Body,” and Andrew Stanton and Stephany Folsom for “Toy Story 4.”
