The Bristol animation studio behind new Sesame Street films
Bristol’s independent animation production studio A Productions has been nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards.
It’s the team behind the Sesame Workshop’s first-ever animated Sesame Street special, with characters from the children’s television show that has been running for over 50 years.
The non-profit educational organisation behind Sesame Street put together The Monster at the End of This Story – and spin-off YouTube short – Sesame Street: The Monster at the End of Your Story with Grover and Elmo, which have both been nominated for awards.
“We are over the moon and proud that our wonderful team has helped create a Daytime Emmy award-nominated first-ever animated special for Sesame Street,” said Katherine McQueen, joint managing director of A Productions.
The films have been nominated in the Outstanding Sound Mixing and Sound Editing for a Preschool Animated Program category as well as the Outstanding Short Form Children’s Program category.
The winners will be celebrated in two live-streamed events this weekend on July 17 and July 18.
