BAFTA Film Awards: ‘Wallace & Gromit’ Scores Double Win, ‘Wander to Wonder’ Named Best Animated Short

The winners of the 2025 EE BAFTA Film Awards were announced Sunday in a ceremony hosted by David Tennant at The Royal Festival Hall in London and broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer.

Celebrating the best in filmmaking for the past year, the BAFTAs honored the home-grown British icons of Aardman with two awards for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (streaming on Netflix worldwide). The stop-motion duo’s latest feature won both the Animated Film and newly introduced category for Children’s & Family Film. The film is nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar.

The prize for British Short Animation went to another stop-motion project, Nina Gantz’s charming and reflective Wander to Wonder. Recently awarded the short subject prize at the Annie Awards (adding to several festival honors) and currently nominated for the animated short Oscar, the film features the voices of Toby Jones, Amanda Lawrence, Terence Dunn and Neil Salvage, and tells the story of a group of children’s show puppets left behind when their creator passes away.

Another awards season favorite, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two was awarded the honors for Special Effects and Sound.
