Animation Triumphs at Children’s BAFTAs

// News

The 2014 Children’s BAFTA’s took place this year at the Roundhouse in London, celebrating the art of children’s television making in a glitzy ceremony. As a staple of the children’s television diet, animation came out on top with some fantastic shows taking home awards that evening. Karrot entertainment achieved a well deserved win for Sarah & Duck a show which has been waiting patiently for this kind of recognition for a long time. Aardman’s Shaun the Sheep took home a BAFTA ahead of what is shaping up to be a huge year for the character as he stars in his first feature in February as well as a Christmas special next December.
