Animation producers Blue Zoo and Factory Transmedia are to battle with Dot to Dot Productions and Kindle Entertainment for indie of the year at the Children’s Baftas.

high-strange-hill-high

Factory is also nominated for Best Animation for Strange Hill High, its CBBC co-production with Fremantle Media.

The indies are vying for a title that was won last year by cross-platform producer Somethin’ Else, which this year is in the running for two awards: its Gumball song, from Cartoon Network’s The Amazing World Of Gumball, is nominated for best Short Form, while a production for BBC2, Poetry Between the Lines, is nominated in the Learning: Secondary category.

Leading the way in this year’s awards with three nominations is CBeebies drama Katie Morag, which is up for best drama and best writer, while its lead actress, eight year-old Cherry Campbell, faces 85 year-old Old Jack’s Boat star Bernard Cribbins in the best performer category. Old Jack’s Boat is also up for Best Pre-School Live Action show.
Also picking up two nominations are CBBC shows 4 O’Clock Club, Roy and Wolfblood, plus The Amazing World of Gumball, while CBBC, CBeebies, Cartoon Network and CYW are vying for channel of the year.

From today, children will be able to vote for their favourite show from a ten-strong list that features CBBC’s All Over The Place: Australia, The Dumping Ground, Newsround and Wolfblood; Cartoon Network’s Regular Show and The Amazing World of Gumball; Disney’s Jessie and Phineas and Ferb; and Nickelodeon’s Victorious.

Doc Brown will host the awards at the Roundhouse in Camden on Sunday 23 November.
