From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Annie Award for Character Animation in an Animated Feature Production is an Annie Award awarded annually to the best character animator and introduced in 1995. It rewards animation of characters for animated feature films.

Up until the creation of both the Annie Award for Character Animation in a TV Production and Live Action Production categories, live-action films, TV series, animated shorts, and non-theatrical releases were eligible for nomination in this category.
