Coming off a presentation ceremony that took place in London last night, the UK’s public broadcaster and streaming platform Apple TV+ have emerged as the biggest winners of this year’s British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Children and Young People Awards.

The Snail and the Whale (BBC One) from London’s Magic Light Pictures was the most-awarded project of the evening, with double wins for Animation and Direction. It tied for the most nominations with Universal International Studios’ Dodger (CBBC), which went on to take the Scripted category prize.

Beeb programming earned seven prizes in total, including the International award for Ludo Studio’s Aussie phenomenon Bluey (pictured) and the Preschool Animation award for Studio AKA’s Hey Duggee.

Apple TV+ scored four wins, with titles including Wolfwalkers (Feature Film) from Ireland’s Cartoon Saloon and Lovely Little Farm (Preschool Live Action) from British indie prodco Darrall Macqueen. 

The streamer’s 2D-animated series El Deafo, produced by Ireland’s Lighthouse Studios, won the Content for Change award for tackling the story of a little girl who wears a hearing aid and learns to embrace her differences through a superhero alter ego. The category was set up in 2018 to recognize kids content that deals with social issues. 

Sky Kids received four nominations and took home the Non-Scripted award for FYI: Ukraine Invasion Special, produced by UK indie Fresh Start Media. The special dives into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, educating young viewers about the effects of war and how refugees are coping. 

Netflix, which trailed behind the BBC as the second most-nominated contender (with 10 shortlisted entries), did not win any awards. 

The full list of winners and nominees is available on BAFTA’s website.
