Apple has won an Academy Award for the animated film 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse'. It has been available on Apple TV+ since the end of last year. 
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
The absolute winner of the Oscars this year was a sci-fi film with an equally long name, ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’. This is free to watch for subscribers of Amazon Prime Video and revolves around an overworked mother, who also has to save the world. While this film has an enormous pace, so that you are exhausted in your chair after more than 2 hours, with ‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse’ different. This hand-drawn animation is much slower. It is based on the book of the same name by Charlie Mackesy.
This year's prize-winning animated film is about the friendship between a boy, mole, fox and horse, with the underlying message that all creatures on earth are connected. It is also about compassion, empathy and kindness in your daily life. The film previously won a BAFTA Film Award, four Annie Awards (including Best Special Production) and a NAACP Image Awards nomination for Outstanding Short Form (Animated) Film.
Actually, this year's profit is somewhat meager for Apple, given last year's big success with ‘Coda’. Apple TV+ became the first streaming service to win an Oscar for best picture. That success was hard to surpass, although Apple hoped with the ambitious film ‘Emancipation’ from Will Smith.
But that film was not nominated for an Oscar (presumably because of the incident at the previous Oscars), while there were nominations for the Apple TV+ productions ‘Causeway’ and ‘The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse’. To date, Apple TV original productions have won 345 awards and been nominated for an award 1,421 times, including Ted Lasso (multiple Emmys).
