The winners of the 43rd annual Annie Awards recognizing the year's best in the field of animation, have been announced! Disney's INSIDE OUT cleaned up with eight, and in television, Disney Mickey Mouse led the winners. Check out the full list below!

The Annie Awards cover 36 categories and include Best Animated Feature, Best Animated Feature-Independent (new this year), Special Productions, Commercials, Short Subjects, Student Films and Outstanding Individual Achievements, as well as the honorary Juried Awards. The winners were announced at a black tie ceremony on Saturday, February 6, 2016 at UCLA's Royce Hall.

"This year we introduced an important new category Best Feature-Independent," says ASIFA-Hollywood President, Jerry Beck. "We will now recognize not only features in wide release, but also the independent animators, international studios, anime and special productions that might not otherwise get the attention they deserve. Adds Frank Gladstone, ASIFA-Hollywood's Executive Director, "With the growing capability worldwide to produce a wider range of animated features, we are certain that this award will expand in significance and influence going forward."

The Juried Awards honoring career achievement and exceptional contributions to animation were also presented. Three Winsor McCay recipients were selected by the ASIFA-Hollywood Board of Directors Joe Ranft, Phil Roman and Isao Takahata for their career contributions to THE ART OF animation; and the June Foray recipient Don Hahn for his significant and benevolent or charitable impact on the art and industry of animation.
