Netflix has revealed images of its upcoming films and animated series at the Annecy Festival.
Guillermo Del Toro and David Fincher are among the prestigious directors whose projects have been revealed.
Animation is brilliantly represented among the future productions of the platform.
“Animation is cinema!
It's not a cinematographic genre but pure cinema, that's all, and we're going to get this message across," announced Guillermo Del Toro at the Annecy Festival during the presentation of Netflix's animated projects. .
The director of
The Shape of Water
and
Nightmare Alley
summed up the general opinion of festival-goers to thunderous applause.

The American streaming platform has not done things halfway to prove its dynamism in the field of animation in all its forms and for all audiences.
Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio
, slated for release later this year, was certainly one of the most promising projects on offer, but it really wasn't the only one.
Great filmmakers on the platform
Henry Selick, director of
The Nightmare Before Christmas
and
Coraline
, will be back with
Wendell and Wild
, produced in stop motion (frame-by-frame puppet animation which he specializes in).
This story of two devils for which he collaborates with Jordan Peele (
Us
) was made “with love and with the hands” he specified.
David Fincher, who is making his debut in animation, presented a segment of the
Love, Death and Robots
series, of which he signs the
Bad Traveling
segment on sailors confronted with a giant crab.
“I love the idea of having my actors eat giant monsters,” he joked.
Guillermo Del Toro (him again) also wowed festival-goers with the first images of his
Pinocchio
(also in stop motion) a very imaginative version of the tale for which he admits to having been inspired by his relationship with his father and wanting to talk about importance of disobeying.
The
EnterGalactic
series , defined by its authors as "When Harry met modern Sammy, a love story between blacks that does not happen in pain" has given a lot of desire thanks to the excerpts presented by the rapper Kid Cudi, instigator of the project.

We were also impressed by the first images of the
Nimona
series and we are obviously dying of impatience to discover all this in the coming months.
