The Oscar-nominated film Wolfwalkers was the big winner in this year’s Irish Animation Awards, coming away with four wins in total. The awards this year featured four new categories, including Best Storyboarding, Best Editing, Best Student Film and Best New Irish IP. Animation Ireland Chief Executive, Ronan McCabe, said the entries for this year’s event made it “the most competitive year any of us have ever seen at the Irish Animation Awards”. It’s really heartening to see that the sector has continued to produce outstanding work and that the future remains bright for Irish animation. Animation Ireland is the trade association for Ireland’s animation studios, representing 32 member studios, who employ more than 2,000 people nationwide.
