Jamie Lang The Annecy International Animation Film Festival has become an increasingly important marketing opportunity for major U.S.

studios to show off their upcoming animated offerings. This year, Warner Bros. Discovery companies are putting forth one of their strongest lineups to date.

Below, we break down the major highlights from this year’s Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe lineups for this year’s Annecy Festival. “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim” – Filmmaker Conversation and Exclusive Extended Look One of Warners’ biggest swings this year is its first animated feature adaptation of the “Lord of the Rings” franchise, which will debut in theaters on December 13.

Annecy attendees who manage to snag one of the surely hard-to-get tickets to this presentation will catch an early look at the first publicly screened footage from the film, presented by Oscar winner Philippa Boyens (“The Lord of the Rings”), award-winning filmmaker Kenji Kamiyama (“Blade Runner: Black Lotus”) and producer Joseph Chou (“Blade Runner: Black Lotus”), joined by special guest Andy Serkis. “The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie” World Premiere Directed by Pete Browngardt and the creative team behind Max’s “Looney Tunes Cartoons,” “The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie” will world premiere at this year’s Annecy in what will surely be one of the fest’s highest-profile screenings.
