Although the BAFTA awards are generally touted as Britain’s equivalent to the Oscars, a key difference is that the BAFTAs are divided into multiple sets, amongst them film, television, video games and children’s entertainment. As would be expected, animation tends to be a force to be reckoned with in the last of these areas.
The 2013 British Academy Children’s Awards, held on Sunday, were no exception. The long list of winners included many animation properties:
