 Atlanta, GA - Anima Mundi,
one of the largest and most prominent animation festivals in the world, awarded
"Delgo," the Best Animated Feature of the year.
An audience of 100,000 viewers, rather than a festival jury, determines the award
for Best Feature Film. Anima Mundi director, Cesar Coelho, stated, “We believe it’s
important for film enthusiasts to decide on the winner rather than a panel of jurors
or film critics. Everyone who watches the selected films has an opportunity to voice
their opinion.”
The final cut of "Delgo" premiered at the Brazilian animation festival. Winning films
at Anima Mundi were selected from thousands of submissions from over 70 countries.
"Delgo" is a fantasy action-adventure of a world’s struggle for unity.
The all-star
voice cast includes Freddie Prinze, Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, Anne Bancroft, Val
Kilmer, Chris Kattan, Malcolm McDowell, Lou Gossett, Jr., Kelly Ripa, Michael Clarke
Duncan, Eric Idle, Sally Kellerman and Burt Reynolds.
“After many years of development and production, it’s exhilarating to have such
a positive reception from audiences, said Producer/Director, Marc F. Adler. “Seeing
the reactions from festival attendees as they watched our film made all our hard
work worthwhile.”
"Delgo" was also selected by Annecy (France) and SICAF (Korea), the other two largest
animation festivals.
A wide domestic theatrical release for "Delgo" will be announced shortly.
