Mon 26 Nov 10:22 AM

Animated penguin musical Happy Feet p-p-p-picked up best feature film at the Children's Bafta Awards on Sunday.

The annual ceremony, in its 12th year, beat off clear favourites Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix to scoop the award.

The film, which starred Elijah Wood and Robin Williams, also saw off Flushed away and Bridge to Terabithia.

But the dancing penguins didn't have it all their way - they lost out to The Simpsons Movie for favourite film of the year, which was voted by under-16s.

Other winners included Playstation 2 quiz game Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party for best game, CBeebies best channel and Aardman for best independent production company of the year.

The ceremony, which was held in London, was hosted by Keith Chegwin.
