The British Animation Awards have revealed their honorees for the 2014 awards ceremony, which took place today at the British Film Institute’s Southbank, London location. The top TV and long form winners were Cartoon Network Europe’s The Amazing World of Gumball and Magic Light Pictures acclaimed Room on the Broom. All the winners took home a unique piece of artwork featuring the BAA’s sheep totem rather than a statuette — a long standing tradition of the event. Learn more at www.britishanimationawards.com.
