41st Annie Awards

Yesterday, the 41st Annie Awards named the best cartoons and the people involved. In case you never heard of, you're not alone. This award is dedicated for cartoons from around the world and for the 41st, it looks like our folks from DISNEY scored big at this year's awards but it's not just all about that because Cartoon Network's hit cartoon show, Adventure Time, hailed as the best animated TV/broadcast production for Children's Audience. Children's audience? Adventure Time maybe a kids show but its made for everyone. Such win is sure to keep our cute little gadget BMO happy...



See?

If that wasn't enough, our new princess from Disney Junior, Sofia the First, is awarded as the Best General Audience Animated TV/Broadcast Production For Preschool Children, beating the likes of Doc McStuffins, and two preschool shows from Nickelodeon's Nick Jr such as Peter Rabbit and Bubble Guppies.



Yeah, yeah, you don't have to rub it in, Your Highness.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, even though this show was restarted by Comedy Central after a long hiatus, Futurama scored a win as the Best General Audience Animated TV/Broadcast Production. Quite a send-off they got here, eh?

The 2013 rebirth of Mickey Mouse as well as the Toy Story special titled Toy Story OF TERROR! scored big at the 41st Annie Awards.

The critically-acclaimed PS3 survival game, The Last of Us, developed by NAUGHTY DOG, won an award as the Best Animated Video Game.

Tom Kenny, a veteran casting voice behind SpongeBob SquarePants, Ice King from Adventure Time, and recently Commander Peepers from Wander Over Yonder, won an award for his Outstanding Achievement for Voice Acting in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production, whereas Josh Gad, the voice of our favorite snowman companion from Frozen named Olaf, won an award for his Outstanding Achievement for Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production.

Amazingly, The production design team behind Nickelodeon's hit animated action adventure series, The Legend of Korra, hailed an Outstanding Achievement for Production Design in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production.

Even with his retirement, the legendary Hayao Miyazaki was honored for his Outstanding Achievement, Writing in an Animated Feature Production.
