Miss BG, a popular CG series from Canada’s Breakthrough Animation Inc. and Paris-based Ellipsanime, won the Public Prize award for best children’s animated TV program at this year’s International Luchon Film Festival. An audience of children voted for the show during the event, which took place between Jan. 31 and Feb. 5 in France.
‘It is always a gratifying feeling when the audience that you are producing for acknowledges your show by voting it their favorite,’ says Kevin Gillis, managing partner of Breakthrough Animation. This is truly good news and validates the hard work that everyone at Ellipsanime and Breakthrough Animation has contributed to Miss BG.’
