Apple TV+’s “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” wins four Annie Awards for Best Direction, Editorial, Character Animation and Special Production.
The Annies, presented by ASIFA-Hollywood, are celebrating their 50th year honoring achievements in the animation industry. The brainchild of iconic voice actor June Forey, who died in 2017 at the age of 99, began as a dinner at the Sportsmen’s Lodge in the San Fernando Valley, honoring animation pioneers Max and Dave Fleischer.
