At the Emmy’s, a total of four shows have been nominated for the Special Class Animated Programme and five for the Outstanding Children’s Animated Programme.

This year marks the first time in the 34 year history of the Daytime Emmy Awards that Children�s categories for programs, performers and writers have been singled out and honored at a separate ceremony.
