ReAnimania combines international animation competitions with comics art and the MarAni professional programme in Yerevan, Armenia. Founded in 2008 by cartoonist, painter and animator Vrej Kassouny, the festival presents animated features, shorts, graduation films, commissioned and television work, music videos and virtual-reality shorts. Its programme includes both competitive and non-competitive screenings, alongside workshops and masterclasses.

MarAni, the Market of Animation, includes a forum and exhibition, the CoReAct co-production platform and practical workshops, with attention to emerging technologies in animation. The comics section, part of ReAnimania since 2015, includes exhibitions and activities supporting comic-book creators in Armenia. The dates for the 2026 festival are 7–14 November, with MarAni on 9–11 November.
