Christmas movie Klaus has won a Bafta.

The festive film picked up the award for the Best Animated Film.

It's a pretty big deal because they're the biggest film awards in Britain.

Klaus tells the story of a postman who is sent to work in a frozen town in the North, and he soon discovers that Santa Claus is hiding out there.

The film was released on Netlix and over 40 million users have watched it.
