Cars Wins ANNIE

Hot on the heels of Happy Feet's BAFTA comes news that Cars roared past the chequered flag to snatch Best Animated Feature at the 34th ANNIE Awards in California yesterday. Ironically, the animated feature film which won most awards (5) was the DreamWorks/Aardman co-production Flushed Away. For those of you who don't know, DreamWorks Animation and Aardman Animations recently agreed to go their separate ways. DreamWorks sees the future as digital, while Aardman wants to continue with its claymation artistry, and quite right too.
