Disney/Pixar’s Cars took home the top prize at the 2007 Annie Awards[1], but DreamWorks/Aardman’s Flushed Away was the night’s big winner. In addition to the award for “Best Animated Feature”, Cars also won for “Feature Music”. Flushed Away more than doubled that take with five awards, the most for any film: “Animated Effects”, “Feature Character Animation”, “Feature Production Design”, “Feature Voice Acting”, and “Feature Writing”.
