Volume up! Mics ON! We have some exciting Karma’s World news to share. The Banff World Media Festival (BANFF) revealed the winners of the 2022 Rockie Awards earlier this week and we are thrilled to share that Karma’s World has won Best in Animation, Children (5-10)!
With a 43-year legacy, the Rockie Awards recognize excellence in global television and digital content. Entries from more than 55 countries compete each year, and winners are selected by an international industry jury of 150+ senior entertainment and media professionals. This year’s competition featured 148 nominations from 45 countries, including the UK, United States, Canada, Australia, France, China, Germany, Italy, and Norway.
Karma’s World was nominated in the Animation: Children (5-10) category in April of this year, going up against a slew of industry standouts including Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years (Nickelodeon Animation Studio), LEGO Star Wars Terrifying Tales (Lucasfilm LTD, LEGO, Atomic Cartoons), Middlemost Post (Nickelodeon Animation Studio), and The Brilliant World of Tom Gates (TG Entertainment Ltd., Wild Child Animation, Black Camel Productions).
Karma’s World, our groundbreaking animated series that premiered on Netflix in fall 2021, is produced in partnership with our Emmy Award-winning 9 Story Creative Affairs Group as well as Karma’s World Entertainment, Chris Bridges’s production company. The series was animated in Dublin and Bali by our Oscar® nominated studio Brown Bag Films. Karma’s World, created by Alison McDonald and Halcyon Person, follows Karma Grant, an aspiring musical artist and rapper with big talent and an even bigger heart. Smart, resilient, and deeply empathetic, Karma pours her soul into songwriting, channeling her feelings into whip-smart rhymes with passion, courage and her signature brand of humor. In this series, Karma is only beginning to grasp the incredible emotional power that words and music can have. She doesn’t just want to share her music with the world…she wants to change the world with it!
A huge congratulations to the entire Karma’s World team, our incredible partners including Netflix, and our amazing visionary Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, and to everyone involved in bringing this world-changing series to the screens of families around the globe. And thank you to all our awesome Karma’s World fans who continue to watch and support the show every day. Finally, we would also like to extend a warm round of applause to all this year’s Rockie Awards winners and nominees.
