Animadrid takes place from September 24th to October 2nd and is a celebration of cartoons and animated film for adults.

The event is held in the area of Pozuelo de Alarcon, which is situated in the north-west of the city. It is easily accessible by public transport and within easy reach of most Madrid hotels.

Organised by the ministry of culture and tourism for the community of Madrid, the festival showcases the very best in present day animated film and features productions from around the world.
