From Casting to Award Wins – A Proud Moment for Irish Talent
We’re proud to share the fantastic news that Lu & The Bally Bunch, the delightful Irish animation series from Brown Bag Films, has recently received well-deserved recognition at the Irish Animation Awards. Viewable on the RTÉ Player here.
Nominated for:
- Best Script for a Feature Film or Special
- Best Feature Film or Special
- Best New IP
- Best Voice Acting (Freya McLaughlin)
This charming and heartwarming series has captured the imaginations of young audiences with its vibrant storytelling, lovable characters, and distinctly Irish flair. Behind the magic on screen is an incredible team of creatives and performers and among them, the talented voiceover artists who brought the Bally Bunch to life.
We’re especially proud to highlight that the series’ voice cast was assembled by renowned Irish casting director Ali Coffey, who used Fishpond to discover and cast the voice actors. Alongside Nick McGinley and Sarah Lonsdale, AC Casting’s hard work on pinpointing the very best voices for the show is evident.
At Fishpond.ie, our mission has always been to empower performers and provide casting professionals with easy access to the best talent in Ireland. Seeing that vision come to life in a series like Lu & The Bally Bunch—and watching it go on to win accolades—is incredibly rewarding.
Congratulations to the entire Lu & The Bally Bunch team at Brown Bag, to Ali Coffey Casting, and especially to the talented voiceover artists whose work has now been celebrated at the highest level.
Here’s to many more stories, more opportunities, and more Irish animation success.
