Well, we were thrilled that The Lost Thing was accepted into The 34th Annecy International Animation Festival. But when it won the Cristal Award for best short film, we were completely over the moon!

Annecy is the worlds largest animation film festival, held in Annecy, France. To win this is a huge milestone for me, and the very small team at Passion Pictures Australia who worked to make this film. Congratulations to the LT gang, and a big thanks from me.

Here is a a youtube snippet of the Annecy festival, and of the Cristal awards announcement. Its all in French, but persevere till 2:50 where the winning short film is announced, The Lost Thing!

Here is wikipedia’s link about the animation festival, and previous winners of the Annecy Cristal.
