Nestled in the breathtaking French Alps, Annecy is famous for its beauty and charming old town. However, there’s more to this city than meets the eye. Annecy is home to one of the biggest events in the animation industry, the Annecy Animation Festival. This annual festival attracts artists, filmmakers, and animation enthusiasts from around the world.
The 2023 year’s festival was a meeting place for animation professionals and industry giants. Influential figures from renowned studios and distributors such as Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros, Nickelodeon, BBC, Canal+, Cartoon Network, and many others turned Annecy into an exceptional melting pot of talent and innovation.
Industry leaders offered valuable insights into their creative processes and upcoming projects. Through engaging talks, panels, and presentations, attendees had the chance to gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of these animation giants.
The festival also showcased exclusive screenings and sneak peeks from the participating studios. Festival guests were treated to special previews of highly anticipated animated films (The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, wink, wink).


The Annecy 2023 Festival provided an ideal environment for networking and starting impactful connections. Aspiring animators, industry professionals, and studio representatives gathered together to share ideas and explore potential collaborations.
