Yet another foreign language candidate has caught my attention: the Brazilian Annecy selection Tito and the Birds, which was also selected for the Toronto International Film Festival. The film was picked up by distributor Shout! Factory, the same one behind In This Corner of the World and Big Fish & Begonia. The plot, while being a simple one that kids could easily follow, is a little hard for me to put into words, so I'll let the trailer speak for itself.
If Shout! Factory plays their cards right, this could be the next Brazilian animation to receive a nomination after The Boy and the World. Maybe. I dunno.
