We were genuinely engaged in the outcome of the short film Oscar event this year and were anxious to learn who would take home the prize. We tracked the progress from the shortlists to the nominations, offered our own voter’s guide, looked at the trends, and made predictions. We even found a moment to catch up with a few past winners for an illuminating conversation about their Oscar experience.
Finally, the wait has come to an end. So without further ado, here are the 95th Academy Award winners for Best Animated Short Film, Best Documentary Short Film, and Best Animated Feature.
BEST ANIMATED SHORT FILM
THE BOY, THE MOLE, THE FOX AND THE HORSE BY PETER BAYNTON & CHARLIE MACKESY
An enchanting story “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse” with a star-studded voice cast and opulent hand-drawn animation, won Apple its first animated short Oscar. Based on the book by Charlie Mackesy, this heartwarming, classically animated movie tells a tale of generosity, friendship, courage, and hope for audiences of all ages. The fascinating adventure follows the unusual fellow travelers of a child, a mole, a fox, and a horse—who are all on the same quest to find their way home.
BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILM
“The Elephant Whisperers” emerged as the winner at the 95th Academy Awards making it a maiden victory for India in the Documentary Short Subject category. A couple from south India named Bomman and Bellie dedicate their entire lives to raising Raghu, an orphaned baby elephant, creating a unique family in the process.
BEST ANIMATED FEATURE
“Animation is cinema. Animation is not a genre. Animation is ready to be taken to the next step. Keep animation in the conversation.” Says Guillermo del Toro as ‘Pinocchio’ Wins Animated Feature Oscar.
The victory gave Netflix its first Oscar in the category while making del Toro the first director to win best picture, director, and animated feature.
Del Toro receives his third Oscar for the stop-motion version of Carlo Collodi’s famous book. He previously won the Best Director and Best Picture Oscars for his 2017 film The Shape of Water. Using visual imagery influenced by Gris Grimly’s artwork, Pinocchio reinvented the well-known story of a wooden puppet brought to life. The toy kid is enlisted into the military since the tale unfolds in pre-World War 2 fascist Italy. In the film, which also stars Ewan McGregor as Sebastian J. Cricket and David Bradley as Geppetto, Gregory Mann voices Pinocchio.
BEST ORIGINAL SONG
In the Best Song category, Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli’s RRR won the Oscar. Naatu Naatu beat a slate of heavy-weight competitors – Lady Gaga’s Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick, Rihanna’s Lift Me Up from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, This Is A Life from Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Applause from Tell It Like A Woman. The first Indian song to win this coveted prize was Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire in 2009 in the same category. This is the second Indian song to accomplish so.
Prayan Animation is proud of all the Oscar champions and extends its best wishes to the entire animation community to keep growing by leaps and bounds.
Quality video content, especially animated content, is the key to success in the modern world driven by media and communication. Animation production has grown into a huge industry with limited applications that invent and master new tools and technologies every day.
However, just like any other trend, the use of animated content is becoming more and more competitive, making it harder to create a truly successful animated project that will hit its goal.
In this article, we shall explain how to easily decode a successful animation project and walk you through the essential animation production steps to help you get the most out of it and the opportunities it offers.
Stick to your Animation Technique
Eye Roll By Lucas via Giphy
Integrity is vital for a successful animation video. Follow through the 2D animation steps if this is what you choose to make sure that the visuals are seamless.
However, with all the limitless possibilities of the modern motion graphics process, try to limit your animation techniques and stick to signature aesthetics.
Not only will it help you easily work out your signature style, but it is also a great way to save time and money on animation production.
Set the Tone with a Tune
Loop Mood By Noelia via Giphy
Successful animation is not all about visuals. The atmosphere and the emotions it encourages are created by other elements as well. A soundtrack is extremely important if you want to create a successful animation project.
Sometimes creators pick the soundtrack when the animation production is almost over. In other cases, music can even be the inspiration for the whole project. However, music and sound effects are extremely important. They make your video content catchy and memorable.
Stake on visual puns
Obey Me via Giphy
Animated videos are so successful because they are relatable, digestible, and simply… fun! That is why a successful animation process is all about visual puns rather than long dialogues. These short and sometimes random moments add humor and action, keeping the viewers` attention.
Short Gags make it Lively
Prank Hit by Aum via Giphy
Whether your animation video is meant for entertainment, marketing, or education, adding short gags to the scripts during the animation production is a great idea. Whitty and memorable jokes add dimension to the character, classic “knock-knock” -er will lighten the mood and a specific joke with professional slang works great for explainer videos, making them more relatable and digestible.

Lighthouse Immersive – the studio that has already granted us the Frida Kahlo and Van Gogh Immersive Experience is now helping Disney to bring their most beloved blockbuster to life at the new Disney Animation Immersive Experience exhibition.
The project already kicked off in Toronto in December 2022. Currently, the immersive exhibit is planned in 10 major cities throughout the United States. The organizers of the immersive exhibit also claim that the project will travel across the Ocean and will be presented worldwide, starting with Asia. However, Tokyo is the only city confirmed for the world tour right now.
Immersive exhibits – the new way to experience art.
Immersive art presentation is becoming more and more popular worldwide, letting viewers not only walk into their favorite masterpieces but also helping artists express themselves using cutting-edge technologies such as VR, holography, and digital projection.
The immersive experience kickstarts a new approach to animation and visual design, their potential, and their perspectives in different fields, from entertainment to education and marketing.
With the help of world-leading studios and modern technology, artists like Van Gogh and Frida Kahlo were granted new life and interpretation of their masterpieces. Just like this, Disney is taking grown-ups down memory lane introducing classic blockbusters like Lion King, Little Mermaid, and Alladin into the current Disney Animation Immersive Experience and keeping the fire for the new generation, letting them walk through Casita from Encanto or sing along with Elsa from Frozen.
Just like this, Immersive exhibits at schools, higher learning institutes, and museums allow us to engage a broader audience in learning and find a new approach to teaching, presenting, and processing information.
Immersive art and experience have already become an integral part of the program of annual festivals and seminars such as the Mobile World Congress and Cannes Lions.
All those are the signs of a new emerging trend that introduced immersive experience to modern marketing and advertising strategies, lets it created a new niche in the art and entertainment industry, and encouraged the world’s best animation and web design studios to create new forms and master new technologies and tools that would make immersive art accessible for a wider range of prospective customers and find it new efficient application in different fields.
Disney Animation Immersive Experience – step inside the dream
The immersive effect of the ongoing Disney Animation Immersive Experience is achieved through a visual projection of the artistry from Disney’s hit movies and showcasing their official soundtracks.
Except for the opportunity to jump into the atmosphere of the latest blockbusters like Zootopia and Encanto, visitors to the immersive exhibition will walk through evergreen hits like Peter Pan, Lion King, and even the original version of Pinocchio from 1940.
The Toronto-based Lighthouse Studio is mainly known for its hit Van Gogh immersive experience exhibition, attended by over 4 million people worldwide.
The ongoing Disney Animation Immersive Experience is already believed to be another success and turning point in the immersive art and presentation industry.

Most people heard of the term Metaverse for the first time in 2021 when Mark Zuckerberg presented his billion-dollar project to the public and even re-named his company Meta, to highlight how serious he was about it.
It was initially clear that the role of animation in Metaverse would be huge, and the development of Metaverse would take the whole industry to a new level. Today, when giants like Disney and Microsoft are taking the concept as a promising business development perspective, it is time to talk about the importance of animation for various aspects of Metaverse and the perspectives of the use of animation in the future.
Animated content – the core of Metaverse
It goes without saying that animated video content is the most successful, time and money-efficient tool today. The uses of animation are almost endless, especially when it comes to a space like Metaverse, which is now becoming one of the most perspective market and business spaces.
Animated content informs and educates, guides and directs, and of course, sells!
Here is what animation does for Metaverse already:
Explainer Animation and CRM
Animated explainer content is simply irreplaceable when you need to guide a viewer and seamlessly convert them into a customer, boost the customer experience, etc.
Businesses and content creators also admit the importance of animation in multimedia, as it allows to design and explore Customer Relationships Management (CRM), SaaS, and apps that create a clear view of customers’ behavior, reactions, and demand.
Animation in Head-Up Display (HUD)
Mainly used as an integral part of video game tutorials, the concept of HUD became familiar to the whole world thanks to Marvel`s Iron Man franchise.
Today, HUD animation is seen by the designers and creators of Metaverse as one of the most potent fields for advertising and storytelling in Augmented Reality. It can easily be integrated into VR and MR tools and has endless commercial, informative, and customer experience potential.
Animation for Immersive Perception in a Metaverse
Metaverse is built using both Virtual and Extended reality, which allows you to integrate immersive perception animation into it and do wonders for your marketing campaign, educational project, etc.
The immersive experience is one of the uses of animation that actually makes Metaverse attractive for businesses today. It allows using various projections to create an impression that animated objects are moving in the #D space of a metaverse. Whether it is a virtual assistant, a tutorial, or an ad, immersive perception is one of the most efficient and leading roles of animation in Metaverse today.
Animated Kinetic Typography
It is another functional use of animation in multimedia for a Metaverse. Motion animation used for text messages that guide, inform, or set the mood may encourage communication or simply boost user experience leading to a stronger attachment and seamless conversion.
Final thoughts.
As you see, the role of Animation in Metaverse simply cannot be overrated. The animation creates the whole concept and turns it into what people and brands are looking for in an alternative space with an innovative approach to communication, business, and entertainment.

After all, they will probably get lost in an avalanche of similar messages from other businesses and won`t mean much for the person themselves, while the business will have to spend a certain amount of time, money, and effort again!
It is not entirely true. In this article, we shall talk about the true effect and purpose of those corporate festive holiday greetings and ways you can make it most efficient and least expensive with the help of a studio that will create animated wishes this festive season.
Why create custom-made festive greetings at all?
Those seasonal festive holiday cards and greetings have huge marketing potential.

Not so long ago, animation was mainly associated with entertainment. However, nowadays, more and more industries discover the advantages of animation and use it for various purposes: to raise awareness, draw attention, recruit and train staff, etc.
In this article, we shall discuss the 10 uses of animation in various fields and industries, which might have seemed revolutionary just a couple of years ago but have proven their efficiency today.
The main features of animation are that it is eye-catching and memorable and allows you to create any characters and scenery to make your advertising campaign most appealing and relatable for the target auditorium.
Mainly that is why marketing and advertising are among the first industries we think of talking about the modern use of animation.
People tend to process and remember visual information up to 90% faster and better. It means that educational videos are an integral part of any studying or training process, whether we are talking about schools, professional training, or online courses.
The use of animation significantly improves the quality of reception for all sorts of viewers. Even the most complex topics can be explained in an engaging and relatable manner through animation, making it the #1 tool in modern education.
3. Simulations
There are lots of cases when professionals of different fields cannot be trained “in the field” right away because it can simply be dangerous. That is why the military, aviation, and numerous other industries discover various applications of animation today to train and upgrade their personnel.
Animated simulations allow us to safely work out different scenarios and help to build confidence and the necessary skills to deal with them in real life later on.
4. Medicine
Animation allows the revealing of human anatomy on a whole new level. It helps to see and thoroughly study details of our body, even those that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Thanks to various applications of animation, medical students and professionals can now train and study complex, innovative methods and explain treatment procedures to patients, gaining their trust more easily.
5. Architecture and urban planning
One of the advantages of animation is that it allows one to predict and prevent possible problems and complications before they actually happen to cause damage and losses.
That is why animation is widely used in architecture and urban planning today. It helps to thoroughly visualize new buildings and make necessary adjustments to fit them into the landscape. Animation can also simulate various scenarios and help to choose proper materials and construction methods, predict the time frame, etc.
As we have already mentioned, entertainment has always been one of the main applications of animation. However, today the industry has evolved greatly. Animation allows all sorts of entertainment platforms to create more and more advanced products and attract viewers, giving them the thrill and action they have never seen before.
7. Data Visualisation
Animated visualization allows us to better comprehend even the most complex and advanced data. Using animation, various organizations can attract new donors and investors and provide them with detailed and clear reports about their current work and future perspectives.
It is a great way to promote scientific research, raise awareness and draw attention to humanitarian missions, help companies discover new markets and develop their operation, attract new investors and partners, etc.
8. Retail and e-commerce
The use of animation allows retail and e-commerce platforms to boost their sales, becoming more convenient and responsive for customers. Animation lets us show each product from various angles and “in motion,” offer customization options, and create virtual “fitting rooms” that allow clients to visualize the product in their life and interior, making an informed decision about the purchase.
9. Modern arts
Animation allows modern artists to “break the fourth wall” and create masterpieces using materials, colors, and tools that may be unavailable in the real physical world.
The use of animation lets us step beyond the laws of physics and allows us to develop modern art and art trade on a whole new level.
Last but not least, animation is the foundation of the gaming industry. It helps to create characters and whole universes, giving gamers the thrill and excitement, they are looking for. It makes the gaming industry more competitive, encouraging studios to discover new horizons and provide their customers with a new level of visualization, activities, and scenarios with every new product.
Final thoughts

Every business knows today that quality video content is the key to a successful marketing campaign. But is it worth it to address a custom animation video production company and invest in professionally made content when there is so much DIY software?
In this article, we shall talk about the actual difference between custom animation videos and videos anyone can make using special DIY software. Let’s discuss the Pros and Cons of every method so you can understand which fits your business and your goals better.
Custom and software animation – how is it made?
The main difference between a custom animation video and one you can create using DIY software is that in the first case, you hire a custom animation video production company, while the software works like Lego, letting you build your video out of pre-designed templates.
Let’s compare the creation process in both cases.
Custom Animation Video:
The script – The custom animation video production company team is writing a script for your future video. It is tailored according to your request, goals, custom audience, product peculiarities, and many other parameters;
Storyboard – Creation of characters, transitions, and other visual elements, the “atmosphere” of your video based on the brand’s image and style, corporate colors, etc.
Voiceover – A custom animation video production company provides you with several samples of voiceover so you can choose the one that fits your brand and your auditorium best;
Animation – Professional animators create the final video content using various software and tools.
Software Animated Video:
The Script – Instead of hiring a whole team of professionals, you create the script yourself based on what you know about your audience and how you want to present your product to them;
Animation – you pick the characters and other visual elements from the software’s library and then compose your video based on the proposed templates;
Voiceover – You may choose to hire a freelance professional voiceover or do it yourself, saving even more time and money.
Custom Animation Video vs. Software Animated Video – Pros and Cons
As you may have already noticed, both Custom Animation Video and Software Animated Video have their advantages and flaws. Let’s take a look at some important aspects that will help you make the final decision.
Budget – It is often the cornerstone, especially if we talk about small businesses and startups. Software-made video will definitely cost you much less. However, hardly can you expect the same commercial results as a professionally-made video would bring you;
Time – At first sight, it may seem like making the video yourself is faster. However, you may be surprised how much time and effort writing a script and doing the voiceover may actually take when you don’t have related experience. You’d better use that time and effort for your business and leave content creation to professionals;
Script – Writing the script yourself, you risk either ending up copying someone else’s ideas or creating something too complicated and unexpressive. The main advantage of hiring a custom animation video production company might be the fact that you receive a script that makes you stand out and speak to your audience clearly;
Branding – DIY animation software is pretty popular, which means that hundreds of businesses have already used the same templates and characters as you. Unfortunately, it also means that all your efforts will probably go in vain, and you risk getting lost in the crowd, remaining unnoticed by the potential customer;
Lead Generation – A team of custom animation video production companies has the necessary tools, knowledge, and experience to help you get the most return out of your video content, easily converting viewers into clients. The software gives you the most basic tools with no guidance on how to use them;
Creativity – Theoretically, we all know how pictures are painted, and houses are built. But it does not make us all artists and architects. The same is true for content creation. No matter how much you enjoy your social media profile, a commercial custom animation video requires the highest level of expertise, advanced tools, and knowledge to be successful.
Final thoughts
Using DIY animation software may seem like a great way to save time and money, but it may easily turn into a disaster as well.
If you really want to achieve your goals, get the most out of your video marketing campaign, and stand out among competitors, make sure to address a custom animation video production company like Prayan Animation.
With over 30 years of collective experience, knowledge of the latest trends, and true professional passion, Prayan Animation has helped hundreds of companies worldwide achieve their goals and boost their sales using the best animated video content.
