Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Animated Feature

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Animated Feature is an award given by the Broadcast Film Critics Association. The award was introduced in 1998. Pixar's Toy Story franchise and Sony's Spider-Verse franchise are the only franchises with multiple wins, Toy Story won three times for Toy Story 2 (1999), Toy Story 3 (2010) and Toy Story 4 (2019), Spider-Verse won for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023).

In 2020, the category and animated films were honored at the Critics' Choice Super Awards instead of the main Critics' Choice Awards.[1] The category returned to the main show in 2021.[2]
