Looks like Dreamworks’ Kung Fu Panda racked up at the Annie Awards this week, smoking Wall-E and others to take home 10 awards.
Kung Fu Panda wiped out its competition at the 36th annual Annie Awards, which honours the best in animation.
The DreamWorks Animation film earned kudos as best movie among its 10 trophies, beating out acclaimed front-runners WALL*E and Waltz With Bashir.
It also captured a directing award for John Stevenson and Mark Osborne; writing honours for Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger; animated effects, Le-Ming Lawrence Lee; character animation, James Baxter; and storyboarding, Jen Yuh Nelson.
Dustin Hoffman, who plays the Kung Fu master Shifu, nabbed a voice acting accolade. That didn’t end the film’s awards run — to top it off, Activision’s Kung Fu Panda game won the prize for best video game.
The film’s 10-award collection bested the nine won last year by Pixar’s gourmet rat Ratatouille.
