Cartoons on the Bay celebrates the talent and achievements of Rob Minkoff, awarding the American director the Pulcinella Career Award. The award ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 31, during the 29th edition of the International Festival of Animation, Transmedia, and Meta Arts, held in Pescara from May 29 to June 1. Among the masterpieces directed by Minkoff are The Lion King (co-directed with Roger Allers), a global box office hit, Stuart Little, Mr. Peabody & Sherman, and many others. Throughout his career as a director, animator, and producer, he has explored every expressive possibility offered by cartooning—from computer-generated animation to live action, including 3D computer animation. Directed by Roberto Genovesi, Cartoons on the Bay is promoted by RAI and organized by RAI Com, in collaboration with the Abruzzo Region and the Municipality of Pescara.
