Pinocchio in Oregon.

Award-Winning Portland Produced Stop-Motion Feature Impacts Film Industry and Oregon's Stop-Motion Animation Legacy.

 

Pinocchio Award

 

Celebrating the Oregon Pioneered Art Form: 

Stop Motion Animation

The animated feature film, “Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio”, won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature at this year's ceremony. This adds to the film’s other awards including the Golden Globe, British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) and Critics Choice Awards. 

 

Global Reach and Local Support

With over four years of production through Portland based animation studio, ShadowMachine, this internationally celebrated film spent nearly $46 million in production in the state, including $35 million in local labor, directly impacting 500 jobs. The film received $5.6 million in state incentives.

 

Recognized Stop-Motion Artistry

The talented artists that created “Pinocchio” represent award-winning work by Oregon's flourishing stop motion film industry here in the state, beginning with Will Vinton and Bob Gardiner’s 1975 Oscar win for their animated short “Closed Mondays”. The list of recognized animation includes the "California Raisins" advertisements and feature films such as “Coraline" and “ParaNorman”.

Oregon: A Creative Filming Destination
