Ratatouille Wins BAFTA

Disney/Pixar's Ratatouille won the British Academy of Film and Television Awards' trophy for Best Animated Feature Film. The Pearce Sisters won Best Animated Short film.

Ratatouille added another statue to its trophy case by winning the British Academy of Film and Television Awards' trophy for Best Animated Feature Film.

Blighty's answer to the Oscars gave the Brad Bird flick the win over DreamWorks Animation's Shrek the Third, and Twentieth Century Fox's The Simpsons Movie. Despite neither of the other two movies being in contention for this year's Oscar, this win gives Disney/Pixar another reason to believe that they will add another award to their respectable haul come February 14th.

Ratatouille is up against Sony Pictures Animation's Surf's Up and Sony Picture Classics' Persepolis for the AMPAS award.

In the Animated Short category, Jo Allen & Luis Cook's The Pearce Sisters won over Osbert Parker, Fiona Pitkin, and Ian Gouldstone's Head Over Heels and The Crumblegiant by Pearse Moore and John McCloskey. The Pearce Sisters is by stop-motion giants Aardman Animation, best known for the Wallace and Gromit series.
