Erik ANSPACH, GOBELINS Paris' Director
"We are very proud to have been awarded 1st place for the 3rd year running!"
"Congratulations to our teaching teams and very talented students. This ranking rewards an expertise in storytelling and the art of character animation "à la française" that makes our school so unique. At GOBELINS, we pay particular attention to diversity and multiculturalism. I'm convinced that this enriches the films we produce, dealing with issues such as discrimination, gender, complex social issues and conflicts, the freedom of expression, and the environment, amongst others.
This recognition augments our international successes such as the 3 Annie Awards recently attributed to GOBELINS.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our partners such as NETFLIX, Guillermo del Toro and Cinepolis, as well as the many animation studios we work with."
