The Critics' Choice Movie Awards were handed out last week, on January 17, and Disney's animated fairytale adaptation Frozen nabbed the honors for Best Animated Feature.

Frozen’s accolades continue to snowball, following up last weekend's Golden Globe win for Best Animated Feature Film, and the Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song.
