Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has won the Oscar for best animated feature at the 91st Academy Awards.

Into the Spider-Verse triumphed in a field containing blockbusters such as Incredibles 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet, as well as the smaller-scale Isle of Dogs (directed by Wes Anderson) and the Japanese anime Mirai. Coming into the Oscars, Into the Spider-Verse had already won a slew of awards, including best animated feature at the Baftas, the Golden Globes, and the Annies.

Produced by The Lego Movie’s Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was hailed as an enterprising way of moving on from the repeated cycle of reboots in Marvel and Sony’s live-action Spider-Man series. It featured a new Spider-Man: Miles Morales, an African American teenager, as well as varying versions of the superhero from different dimensions, including Spider-Gwen, Spider-Noir, and Spider-Ham.

It proved successful at the box office, taking $358.7m across the world, including $183.8m in the US. The Guardian’s Charles Bramesco described it as “a wildly imaginative adventure”, while the Observer’s Simran Hans called it a “sublime animated reimagining”.
