Cartoon d’Or 2011
70 minutes
The Cartoon d’Or is the prestigious European prize for short animation films granted by Cartoon, the European Association of Animation Film, partly made possible by the MEDIA Programme. The competing films are nominated by animation festival partners, including the Holland Animation Film Festival.
The Cartoon d’Or is annually awarded in September, during the Cartoon Forum, the forum for the co-production, financing and distribution of European animation for TV and new media. The cash prize the Cartoon d’Or entails must be spent on a new animation project, but this can also be a TV special, series or full-length film. This makes the Cartoon d’Or a stimulus for the European animation industry.
The Cartoon d’Or was launched in 1991 and was secured that year by Nick Park, for Creature Comforts. This section screens the finalists and the winner of the Cartoon d’Or 2011: Der Kleine und das Biest (The Little Boy and the Beast)of Uwe Heidschötter and Johannes Weiland (Duitsland).
