Annecy Reveals 2017 TV and Commisioned Films Line-up

We're just months away from the 2017 Annecy Animation Festival, one of the most important events in the animation calendar. There's still a way to go until the festival reveals the feature film line-up and the full list of events. In the meantime, the organisers have this week unveiled the line-up of TV and Commissioned Films.

This year 31 TV Series and Specials and 40 commissioned films are screening in competition. In the TV category a number of familiar shows will be screening, including episodes from Bojack Horseman, Puffin Rock, Trollhunters, The Loud House and Clarence. In keeping with the festival's international nature, these higher-profile shows will be rubbing shoulders with animation from France, Mexico Russia, Poland, and more. Noticeably absent from the selection is anything from Japan- which is a little strange considering it's most likely the biggest producer of TV animation in the world today.

The commissioned films are a selection of commercials, music videos, idents and promo films and featuring entries from the US, UK, France, China, Israel, Egypt and more.

This year's festival will take place June 12-17 in Annecy, France.
