The winning film, Vengeance Most Fowl, sees the return of evil penguin Feathers McGraw from the Academy Award-winning short The Wrong Trousers.
Creator Nick Park, director Merlin Crossingham and producer Richard Beek appeared on stage during their first win in the children’s and family category, which was presented by US singer Camila Cabello.
Creator Park said: “It’s such a wonderful privilege to be working at Aardman every day with such obscenely talented artists and crafts people so passionate about creativity and we’re so lucky to have our fabulous cast.”

He also said Ben Whitehead, who became the voice of Wallace following Peter Sallis’s death, had filled “massive shoes”.
The film featured a number of famous faces from Bolton and Lancashire.
In the film, comedian Peter Kay returned as Pc Mackintosh, a character who was also in The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit, while Everybody’s Talking About Jamie actress and former The Sixth Form Bolton student Lauren Patel joined the cast.
Bolton’s Diane Morgan lent her voice for a cameo in the production while Burnley’s Muzz Khan was one of the voice actors for the film, playing Anton Deck, the comically named news anchor.
The animation premiered on the BBC on Christmas Day last year and was watched by almost 10 million viewers.
Lauren voiced the role of PC Mukherjee, an overenthusiastic young police officer who figures out what’s really going on but faces disbelief from her idiotic superior.
The children’s and family category Bafta category is new for 2025 and recognises the best films that appeal to children, young people and adults.
When the team picked up its second Bafta for animated film, Park joked: “I didn’t actually write a second speech.”

The film, now award-winning, is also nominated for an Oscar alongside Disney/Pixar sequel Inside Out 2 and Universal/Dreamworks’ CGI movie The Wild Robot.
In the movie, technology becomes a wedge between Wallace and his pet beagle Gromit after his smart gnome appears to develop a mind of its own.
The first Wallace And Gromit film was 1989’s A Grand Day Out, which was followed by The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave, The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit and A Matter Of Loaf And Death.
