The first ever Irish Animation Awards took place in Dingle on Friday March 13th and we're delighted to have brought home THREE awards!

We're thrilled to announce that Henry Hugglemonster won for Best Animated Preschool Series!

Congrats to the production team, producer Colm Tyrrell and Supervising Director Norton Virgien!

The Hugglemonster crew are feeling pretty roarsome!

We're over the moon to have brought home not one but TWO awards for Bing for Best Design/Art Direction and for Best Director of an Animated TV Series!

Well done to our two art directors on Bing, Stephen O'Connor and Stephen Robinson and to director Nicky Phelan and series story director Jeroen Jaspaert!

Directing…it's a Bing thing!

Also a very special congrats to our friend Tomm Moore from Cartoon Saloon on receiving The Murakami Award and two standing ovations for his work on The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea!
