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 to people working in the motion picture industry by the Broadcast Film Critics Association. The award was presented annually from 1998 to 2019. Toy Story is the only franchise with multiple wins, winning three times for Toy Story 2 (1999), Toy Story 3 (2010) and Toy Story 4 (2019).

The category was discontinued in 2020, with animated films being honored at the ancillary Critics' Choice Super Awards instead.[1] The category returned in 2021.[2]
