Anima Mundi was a competitive film festival in Brazil, devoted exclusively to Animation. It was usually held every July in Rio de Janeiro, with smaller side editions in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte. Started in 1993, the festival ended in 2020 due to lack of funding and government support.
The first edition of Anima Mundi happened in 1993, in Rio de Janeiro. The festival was created by a group of animators and filmmakers who wanted to raise awareness about animated productions and films in Brazil.[1]

The festival sessions consists of five different types:
- Shorts films (1 hour sessions of films that are running in the competitive session. The portfolio (films made for hire) are shown in these sessions also).
- Feature films.
- Children's short films (films made for children).
- Animation in course.
