The Oscars® ceremony will take place on Sunday, March 10, 2024, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and will be broadcasted in over 200 countries worldwide! We are the only school competing for the Oscars® in the Best Animated Short Film category, and our graduates are currently in competition with Walt Disney Animation Studios and their short film 'Once Upon a Studio,' celebrating the iconic studio's 100th anniversary.
