@luis_in_brief it's so moving honestly. I love the animation category and it's wonderful to see a small creative Latvian team triumph

@grimalkina yeah that’s awesome. I admit I still haven’t watched it; from all the descriptions it sounds like it would wreck me.

@Ashedryden @luis_in_brief very understandable, animated movies have to be consumed carefully, The Wild Robot wrecked me
