"The Incredibles 2", "Ralph Breaks the Internet" Lead Annie Award nominations

Disney-Pixar's Incredibles 2 and Disney's Ralph Breaks the Internet lead all projects with 11 and 10 nominations respectively at the 46th annual ASIFA-Hollywood Annie Awards, whose nominations were announced today.

It's not exactly a surprise. For each of the previous three years, a Walt Disney Company has received the most nominations: Inside Out in 2015, Zootopia in 2016, and Coco in 2017.

Across its various subsidiaries, the Walt Disney Company scored a total of 42 total nominations, including five for the animation work in Mary Poppins Returns. The Walt Disney Company, for the record, is also the leading financial sponsor of the Annie Awards, and owns nearly half of the event's sponsorship slots.

In the best animated feature category, Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet are up against Aardman's Early Man, Fox Searchlight and Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs, and Sony Picture Animation's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

After the Disney productions, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Early Man were tied for the third-most feature nominations with seven apiece. Spider-Man was nominated in all key categories, including directing, writing, animation, and production design. Isle of Dogs earned four nods.

The Annies recognized indepedent animated features in a separate category. The nominees for that award are This Magnificent Cake!, MFKZ, Ruben Brandt Collector, Mirai, and Tito and the Birds.

Here's a list of the most-nominated tv productions this year:
