BAFTA Children's Awards Celebrate the Best of Children's Cinema

The annual BAFTA Children's Awards returned triumphantly once again in 2017 to celebrate the overwhelming success and creativity of film designed for younger audiences. Our reporter Imoleayo took over the red carpet to find out what all the attending actors, filmmakers and celebrities were looking forward to most about the event.

A huge highlight for us was the Best Film category, in which the nominated films - The Little Prince, Kubo and the Two Strings, Moana and Sing - are all hugely popular animations with our young audience. See if you agree with our famous interviewees in the next video as they testify to why animation is such a limitless and magical medium.
