WALL•E: Awards and Festivals Round-up

As WALL•E makes its rounds, some more festivals and awards shows are officially noticing this masterpiece:

Andrew Stanton won the Hollywood Animation of the Year Award at the Hollywood Awards (part of the Hollywood Film Festival) for WALL•E. The award will be presented at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on October 27. It is of note that WALL•E is technically not a "Hollywood" film, depending on how you look at it.

the closing event for Belgium’s Ghent International Film Festival.

WALL•E will be the closing film for the 21st Annual Tokyo International Film Festival held from October 18 to the 26th. If you’re in the area or planning to go, this is your chance to see it early as Pixar’s latest release will open in Japan last, on December 20th.
