June 5th, 2006 by Paul Martin

New Zealand-born director Andrew Ralph Adamson has been recognised for his services to film. He has been made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.

Adamson inhabits a different world in the same industry. He now lives in Los Angeles and his last film, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, was one of the biggest box office hits of last year, grossing US$428 million ($679 million). The film earned a Golden Globe nomination and an Oscar for make-up.

He also directed the animated box-office monsters Shrek and Shrek 2.
