If I had a bit for every time you made me feel worthless, I'd be worth something by now.

Are there any actual 2D Animation-only awards?![]()
I think, sadly, it's all lumped into the 'Animation' category from 2D to 3D to stop motion and so on.
Thankfully, 2D animation has won awards. The Emmys and Annies do recognize several categories like Best Short Format Program (11 minutes), Best Animated Program (22 minutes), Best Character Design, Outstanding Direction in Animation, Best Character Animation, and more.
Adventure Time, Wander Over Yonder, Over the Garden Wall, Steven Universe, and other 2D shows have been nominated and/or won awards against their 3D counterparts. Unfortunately, the Emmys and Annies don't apply to animated movies.
There is a BAFTA and an Academy award for Best Animated Feature but given how it's usually Pixar or some other big studio, I doubt the MLP movie would win, let alone be nominated since the Award would probably take into account the Story, which I don't think will be MLP the Movie's primary focus.

It'll probably get a few Annie Award nominations.

I mean we had the Diamond Dogs, but this design does look kinda weird at first glance. Same with the edgy OC
The seapony looks good and I guess well get to find out more about Tirek's race. I'm intriged
