Candy Monster, a 3D animated short film produced by UMN Pictures, again won an international award. Candy Monster managed to amaze all the judges and spectators and won an Audience Award at the 60th Zlin Film Festival. Candy Monster became one of the most watched and popular short films by Czech people during the festival.

Candy Monster's participation in one of the international film festivals proves that Indonesian animated films, especially those produced by young Indonesian animators, have the proper quality to compete with animated films from other countries. Furthermore, hopefully filmmakers, animators and artists at UMN will be more enthusiastic to produce high quality artworks. Proficiat!
