'Kung Fu Panda' sweeps Annie awards
Kung Fu Panda has swept the board at the 36th annual Annie Awards.

The DreamWorks movie picked up ten awards from its sixteen nominations at the industry event that celebrates the best animated features of the past year.

Among its triumphs were best animated feature and best voice actor for Dustin Hoffman, who played the martial arts expert Master Shifu.

DreamWorks also walked away with prizes for storyboarding and production design, while the spinoff TV series and video game were also honoured.

Competitors in the best animated feature category had included Disney's Bolt and the critically-acclaimed Pixar movie WALL-E.

Last year, it was revealed that a sequel to Kung Fu Panda was in the works.
