Every year, the festival wing, appropriately titled El Festival, of Mexico’s Pixelatl – an association dedicated to the creation and promotion of multimedia content – takes center stage as Mexico’s premier event linking students and professionals in animation, comics and video games to the international marketplace. Held over five days in the city of Cuernavaca, Morelos, about an hour from Mexico City, awards were handed out over the weekend.
Pixar’s Lee Unkrich was awarded the Chinelo in Animation, a career achievement award which last year went to Oscar-nominated stop-motion director Henry Selick, responsible for “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Coraline,” and in 2015 was given to special effects pioneer Phil Tippet, who scored Oscars for both “Jurassic Park” and “Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi.”
The top prize for a series went to Edino Ferrera’s “Curtis & Bean” a Mexico-Argentina co-production geared towards kids between six and nine years old.

Steven Universe is in the middle of a quiet run after last month’s high-energy, high-impact slate. Including ‘Historical Friction,’ its last four episodes have dealt with daily life and the minutiae of emotional processing. ‘Historical Friction’ is a cute piece of work and a much better showcase for Jamie than the overstretched ‘Love Letters.‘ The episode revolves around Jamie’s town-funded production of a play about Mayor Dewey’s several-times-great grandfather, William Dewey, credited for founding Beach City some two hundred years earlier. It’s also quietly, gently about making sure that the audience understands that Pearl’s actions in deceiving Garnet in ‘Cry For Help‘ don’t make her a villain.
The episode uses the play, which Mayor Dewey pitches as a political screed supporting his reelection but which Jamie longs to reinvent for the sake of authenticity and drama,...
