Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pinocchio” took home the Academy Award for the best-animated feature. It was the first award announced of the night.
He defeated his competitors Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, The Sea Beast, Turning Red and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
“Animation is ready to be taken to the next step,” Del Toro said while accepting the award. “We are all ready for it. Please help us. Keep animation in the conversation.”
The filmmaker, who used stop-motion animation to create the latest “Pinocchio” adaptation, went on to thank his family and Netflix.
