Toei Animation, Daisuke Nishio, Takashi Washio's 'Magic Candies' Short Anime Film Nominated for Oscars

Last year, Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron anime film won Best Animated Feature Film in the 96th Academy Awards ceremony in March 2024.

The other nominees for Best Animated Short Film are: “Beautiful Men,” “In the Shadow of the Cypress,” “Wander to Wonder,” and “Yuck!”

Heartfelt and totally strange, Magic Candies will have you rethinking how you treat the objects, and others, in your life.
