Netflix's festive film Klaus was the big winner at the 47th annual Annie Awards on Saturday, taking home seven honours, including Best Animated Feature.
The movie, the streaming service's first original animated feature, beat out Frozen 2, Toy Story 4, and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World to dominate the ceremony and leave the Oscars' animation category wide open.
Director and co-writer Sergio Pablos's film about a hapless and lazy postal worker, who stumbles upon an idea to give children gifts at Christmas, won every category in which it was nominated, including direction, editing, storyboarding, production design, character animation, and character design.
French animated drama fantasy film I Lost My Body, which was acquired by Netflix following its premiere at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, won the Best Animated Feature - Independent prize.
There was also a big win for Josh Gad, who won the Voice Performance honour for his role as Frozen II snowman Olaf.
The 2020 ceremony was dedicated to animator Richard Williams, who died in August.
