Andrew Adamson Nom’d for Academy Award

January 25th, 2005 by Paul Martin | Source: Stuff.co.nz

In the nominations announced in Los Angeles yesterday, Andrew Adamson was nominated for best animated feature film for his blockbuster sequel Shrek 2. Adamson’s film is up against The Incredibles and Shark Tale. He won an Oscar for the first Shrek film.

Adamson’s film Shrek, the uproarious anti-fairy tale that proved a monster hit at the box office, last year won the first ever Oscar for a full length animated feature. This year Shrek 2 surpassed Finding Nemo as the highest grossing animated film ever.

Since June, Adamson has been shooting The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in New Zealand. The project could evolve into a big franchise similar to the Lord of the Rings, since it is based on one of author CS Lewis’ seven Narnia chronicles.
