CalArtians took home a number of awards at the 47th Annual Annie Awards, presented by the International Animated Film Society at UCLA’s Royce Hall in Los Angeles on Saturday, Jan. 25.

They included the marquee Best Animated Feature for the Netflix production “Klaus,” directed by Sergio Pablos (Film/Video 92).

“Klaus” received the most Annie Awards of the night, winning in all seven categories in which it was nominated. Pablos won the Best Feature Direction and Best Feature Storyboarding awards, with the “Klaus” team also winning for Best Feature Character Animation (Sergio Martins), Best Feature Character Design (Torsten Schrank), Best Feature Production Design (Szymon Biernaki and Marcin Jakubowski) and Best Feature Editorial (Pablo Garcia Revert).

Two more CalArtians were among the nominees for the Best Animated Feature category: Chris Buck (Film/Video 78), who co-directed “Frozen 2” with Jenifer Lee, and Andrew Stanton (Film/Video BFA 87) for “Toy Story 4.”

Several CalArtian animators were honored during the live awards ceremony. Henry Selick (Film/Video MFA 77) and John Musker (Film/Video 77) were presented with the Winsor McCay Awards, one of the animation industry’s highest honors.
