Ahead of the submission deadline on November 15th, the Walt Disney Company has submitted The Village Bride, one of Star Wars: Visions’ nine animated shorts, for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short.
The Village Bride is seemingly the segment that Disney decided to submit for consideration when it came to potentially receiving an Oscar for “Best Animated Short,” and has quite a number of shorts to compete against. This particular segment was created by Kinema Citrus, the studio that is perhaps most well known for the likes of Made in Abyss and The Rising of the Shield Hero. While there hasn’t been word as to why this particular short was chosen as opposed to the other eight segments released as a part of the anthology, it’s clear Disney preferred the Kinema Citrus production for Oscar consideration.
We wish them good luck and await to see the nominations when they are announced on February 8th, 2022.
