Now, they with partners Melusine Productions in Luxembourg, await April 25th when the winners will be announced (that’s 1am April 26th Irish time!).

Désirée Finnegan, Chief Executive, Fís Eireann/Screen Ireland, said “Our warmest congratulations to directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart, screenwriter Will Collins, and all at Cartoon Saloon on their Academy Award nomination today. Wolfwalkers is a triumph of creative collaboration and Irish storytelling, and we are exceptionally proud to have supported the film since the beginning. The consistent and continued success of Cartoon Saloon’s work is testament to Ireland’s thriving animation industry, and indicative of the creative talent working tirelessly to produce powerfully engaging stories for audiences, both at home and around the world.”
