The Wonder Hospital, Colorful win at Anima, Brussels

The South Korean Beomsik Shimbe Shim was the big winner at 2012 Anima festival with his quirky The Wonder Hospital.

The Swisss virtuoso animator Georges Schwizgebel (known for his The Man without Shadow) won the best professional short film award, with the Rachmaninoff scerzo, Romance. The best student award went to Kuhina (Swarming) by the Finnish Joni Männistö.

Colorful by Keiichi Hara was the front-runner in the feature-length category. The metaphysical thriller by the Japanese anime director has a dejected soul placed in the body of a 14-year-old boy, who just committed suicide. The soul needs to examine its former life and discover its sins and mistakes.

The Spanish Arrugas la Pelicula (Wrinkles) [review] won the audience award for best animated feature, whereas in the national competition La Boîte de sardines - Louise-Marie Colon won the corresponding prize.
