Among this year's nominees is The Adventures of Paddington, which has been nominated in the "TV Films" category for the episode "Paddington and the Magic Trick"!
In the The Adventures of Paddington episode "Paddington and the Magic Trick", Mr. Gruber gives Paddington a box of magic tricks, but Paddington cannot master the tricks until he learns to practice, practice, practice.
The Adventures of Paddington gives a modern-day touch to the famous teddy bear, by evoking themes such as curiosity, empathy and the importance of a loving family. It will appeal to the young and old!

More information about Annecy 2020 Online will be announced shortly, but it is set to include the market and meetings, with opportunities for people to build new partnerships, spot talent and launch new projects.
For the Official Selection, on the whole the 2020 group is “less serious, and funnier, than the previous few years,” according to Annecy’s artistic director Marcel Jean. Some of the lighter funnier options in the TV Films category include Ludo Studios and BBC Studios’ Bluey and Cartoon Network’s Summer Camp Island, and Nick Jr.'s Paddington.
Regarding the selected short form works, artistic director Marcel Jean noted:
"On the whole the 2020 Selection is less serious, and funnier, than the previous few years. We still find several films dealing with current themes, in particular ecology, migration and gender identity. Some films – Empty Places by Geoffroy de Crécy, The Physics of Sorrow by Theodore Ushev and Something to Remember by Niki Lindroth Von Bahr – even appear to anticipate the present situation.
We are particularly proud of the quality and variety of the Off-Limits selection, which testifies to the vitality of experimental approaches. In addition, six of the twelve films from this section were directed by women, which represents the level of equity that characterizes the selection in the diverse categories of the Short Films. We are also thrilled with the diverse countries where the selected films come from, there are works from Iceland, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Indonesia, countries that are rarely represented at Annecy.
The Graduation Films revealed a very high level of productions from the Lodz School in Poland, where three films from this educational institution were selected. Meanwhile the program destined for television indicate that this sector is going through a great era with so many audacious and ambitious productions targeted to diverse audiences."
The feature films and VR works Official Selection won’t be announced until mid-May.
