Silvergate Media is celebrating a trio of major award wins at the 2021 Annie Awards for the second season of its Netflix animated adventure TV series, Hilda
The 48th annual Annie Awards were presented virtually on April 16th to honour achievements in animation. Hilda was crowned ‘Best Animated TV Production for Children’, in addition to scooping awards for ‘Best Character Animation- TV and Media’ and ‘Best Editorial- TV and Media’, collecting awards in every nominated category and making it the most-awarded TV series of the night.
The show’s recent awards triumph follows its previous success at the 2019 Annie Awards when the first season of Hilda was also awarded 3 of the top TV prizes. It then went on to achieve further critical acclaim by winning BAFTA, International Emmy and Kidscreen awards that same year.
Co-produced by Silvergate Media and Mercury Films, Hilda first debuted on Netflix to great acclaim in September 2018. Season 2 was released on December 14th 2020, delivering fresh adventures for the fearless blue-haired heroine as she delves deeper into the vast magical wilderness of Trolberg. Through her entertaining and inspiring adventures, Hilda learns that not everyone shares her open-minded view of the ‘hidden world’, while her Mum worries that her growing rebelliousness will lead to more trouble than Hilda can handle.
Season 1 and 2 of Hilda are now available in 130 countries on Netflix’s global platform and Silvergate has an extended special in the pipeline. It has a consumer products program in place that spans toys, games, publishing, accessories, apparel and homewares.
