The film captured five awards including Best Animated Feature, Writing, Character Design and Editing. <strong>Kung Fu Panda 2<\/strong> and <strong>The Adventures Of Tintin<\/strong> won two awards each.<\/p>\n<p>Disney withdrew from competition last year in protest to judging practices that they deemed gave preferential treatment to DreamWorks. However, their return to the competition only saw them win one category, Best Storyboarding for a Feature Film for <strong>Winnie The Pooh<\/strong>. Although nominated in several categories, the Disney\/Pixar release <strong>Cars 2<\/strong> did not win any awards.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the Annie Awards also recognize when animation is used as an effect in live action films.
