"2016 is going to be a very special year for the animago, especially considering our location change to Munich and the 20th anniversary of the animago AWARD," commented animago project manager Jana Freund. "Over the course of two decades, we received extraordinary digital works from over 80 different nations, including Pixels by Patrick Jean, a prize-winning film in 2010 that formed the basis for the 2015 Hollywood film of the same name. We also had the pleasure of enjoying subsequent Oscar-winners, such as Logorama by Nicolas Schmerkin and Mr. Hublot by Laurent Witz & Alexandre Espigares. Thanks to everyone for their trust and confidence over the years in such a rapidly growing industry."
