Disney’s “Raya and the Last Dragon” scored a leading 10 nominations Tuesday for the 49th annual Annie Awards, honoring the best in animated entertainment from the last year.
“Raya” was nominated for best feature along with another Walt Disney Animation Studios production, “Encanto.” “Luca,” by Disney-owned Pixar Animation Studios, was also nominated in the top category, along with Illumination’s “Sing 2” and Sony Pictures Animation’s “The Mitchells vs. The Machines.”
For best independent feature, nominations went to “Belle,” “Flee,” “Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko,” “Pompo the Cinephile” and “The Summit of the Gods.”
On the small screen, nominations for best general audience show went to “Arcane,” “Bob’s Burgers,’ “Love, Death + Robots,” “Star Wars: Visions” and “Tuca & Bertie.” Nominated for best children’s show were “Amphibia,” “Carmen Sandiego,” “Dug Days,” “Maya and the Three” and “We the People.”
Netflix dwarfed all production houses in the nominations, collecting more than 50 nominations overall, well ahead of Disney’s 29 nods.
