Cartoon Movie 2023 wrapped up on Thursday, with the Bordeaux-based event handing out its latest honors, which are called the Cartoon Tributes.
Winners for the three categories – European animation producer, director, and distributor/sales agent of the year – were picked by polling the 876 attendees at this year’s event.
Seven production companies split the producer of the year honor for their collaboration on Alain Ughetto’s European Film Award animated feature winner No Dogs or Italians Allowed. The stop-motion film was co-produced by Les Films du Tambour de Soie, Vivement Lundi!, and Foliascope in France; Graffiti Film in Italy; Nadasdy Film in Switzerland; Ocidental Filmes in Portugal; and Lux Fugit Film in Belgium.
