The inaugural winner of the Academy Award for best animated feature was Shrek, which was released in 2001 and won the award the following year. Based on a 1990 children’s book by William Steig, the film stars a towering green ogre (voiced by Mike Myers) whose fearsome appearance belies a kind heart. It was directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson and produced by what became DreamWorks Animation.
