At which ceremony did Disney’s 1998 animated film Mulan win Best Animated Feature?

Disney’s 1998 animated film Mulan won Best Animated Feature at the 1998 Annie Awards.

The Annie Awards are presented by the International Animated Film Association, ASIFA-Hollywood, and recognize achievement in animation. Mulan competed during a period when Disney’s feature animation division was producing major theatrical releases almost every year.

The award is distinct from the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. Mulan received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song for “Reflection,” but it did not win an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature because that category was not introduced until 2001. The Golden Globes also recognized the film’s song rather than giving it a feature-animation category win.

Mulan’s Annie recognition reflects the film’s animation, design, storytelling, and production achievement. The movie was released in 1998 as Disney’s 36th animated feature and became one of the studio’s best-known adaptations of Asian-inspired folklore.
