22. The Breadwinner

GKIDS

Nominations: 1 - Best Animated Feature

The latest animated offering from Cartoon Saloon (The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea) is another emotionally shattering, visually gorgeous effort, this time telling the tale of a young Afghan girl living under brutal Taliban rule.

An eye-opening and often upsetting look at what those living under tyranny have to deal with on a daily basis shot through a distinctly feminist lens, The Breadwinner is yet further proof that animation can be so much more than farting babies dressed in suits.

With three home-runs under their belt, Cartoon Saloon's name deserves to be held high with the giants of the medium.
