ROME -- The second season for the British series for infants "Charlie and Lola" took home two awards at the Cartoons on the Bay festival and English-language productions dominated the awards, taking home eight of 12 main prizes.
Productions from Italy, France, Estonia and Iceland were given awards at the festival, which concluded Sunday, but it was films from the U.S., Britain and Canada that took home the lion's share of prizes.
