Filmmakers and animators were tapped from South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Egypt and Uganda to create this magical realism sci-fi series – proof that African animators can pull off world-class work.
The win was for the film ‘Zog’, a heartwarming story about dragons, released by UK-based production company Magic Light Pictures and animated by Triggerfish.
It’s all quite exciting when our local talents are recognised internationally, so we’re super stoked that a local animation studio will represent at this year’s Oscars.
We love celebrating South African success stories, and most kids grew up loving Roald Dahl, so how about we combine the two? Perfect.
