Jennifer Yuh Nelson won for directing in a feature production for "Kung Fu Panda 2," which also earned an Annie for production design for Raymond Zilbach. Steven Spielberg's "Tintin" won Annies for music for veteran composer John Williams and animated effects for Kevin Romond.

Jeremy Spears won an Annie for feature storyboarding for "Winnie the Pooh," while Jeff Gabor took home the Annie for feature character animation for "Rio." Bill Nighy won for voice acting for his role as Grandsanta in "Arthur Christmas." Animated short honors went to Minkyu Lee for "Adam and Dog."

The group also honored animation work in live-action productions. Eric Reynolds received the award for character animation in a live-action production for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," and Florent Andorra earned an Annie for animated effects in a live-action production for "Transformers: Dark of the Moon."

Besides feature films, Annies are also presented for TV, video games and commercials.

1993

GENERAL INFORMATION
Freshly arrived from New York City, Axel Blackmar (Johnny Depp) plans to stay only long enough to be best man at the marriage of Uncle Leo (Jerry Lewis) and his new bride. But he soon discovers that desert life has its charms... and then finds out that his new lover's intriguing daughter has even more.

Director: Emir Kusturica

Cast: Johnny Depp, Jerry Lewis, Faye Dunaway, Lili Taylor, Vincent Gallo, Paulina Porizkova

Awards & Nominations:

1993 BERLIN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL:
Silver Berlin Bear (Special Jury Prize): Emir Kusturica (Won)
Golden Berlin Bear: Emir Kusturica (Nominated)

ABOUT THIS MOVIE

The first cut of the film was about 4 hours long.Emir Kusturica gave Johnny Depp a copy of the version.

The backing music used in the 'dinner party' scene between Axel (Depp), Paul, Elaine and Grace is a piece by jazz musician Django Reinhardt. The same piece was used in the 'river dance' scene in Chocolat. where it is performed on guitar by Johnny Depp

Quotes from Johnny Depp:

"I remember when we were first in rehearsals. It wasn't even really rehearsals - it was Emir [Kusturica] and I and Jerry [Lewis]. One time, Jerry came. We were talking in an apartment in LA. I think it was Vladir Divat's flat. And I was learning to speak all these words in Inupik, in Eskimo. And Jerry said, 'Oh no, we don't need to do that! We don't need to learn the Eskimo language; we just make it up! We just invent it as we go along.'"
--Johnny Depp
Arizona Dream DVD Interview
2002
"I remember Emir [Kusturica] came to my house and we were sitting around, eating, talking, and I said, 'Look, I found a pig. I bought a pig. In Tucson.' And he was looking at the pig. And then he left, and he called me 20 minutes later, he says, 'Bring this pig to work tomorrow. Bring the pig to the shooting.' Yeah, he said bring the pig to work. Brought the pig to work, and he had Jerry chasing the pig."
--Johnny Depp
Arizona Dream DVD Interview
2002

"[Faye Dunaway] really cares about the work, and she's so focused on the work. And I think sometimes that depth of caring, that profound caring can be misinterpreted, you know? Like it's ego, or it's this or that - but really she just cares about her character, her work... She was right there. She worked hard."
--Johnny Depp
Arizona Dream DVD Interview
2002

"[Emir Kusturica] is capable of such amazing things. Amazing imagery; amazing substance."
--Johnny Depp
Arizona Dream DVD Interview
2002

"I remember making the film. It was the film I made after Edward Scissorhands, and everybody in Hollywood and the movie industry is always concerned about how much money a movie's going to make in the box office, and how many theatres it's in, and how popular it becomes. And it's refreshing to know now what I knew then, which really is that: Who cares about the numbers? You know? When you're able to, first, experience something like this, and live through something like this, and be involved with something as magical as this... I mean, you forget about how much a movie made in the box office."
--Johnny Depp
Arizona Dream DVD Interview
2002

"Emir [Kusturica] is not your typical director. He's something else entirely, he's more ethereal. With him, it's collaboration in the best sense. I'd dive off the Eiffel Tower for that guy."
--Johnny Depp
Elle Magazine, UK
1994

"With Kusturica, I discovered freedom."
--Johnny Depp
Studio Magazine
2000

Quotes from others:

"I met [Johnny Depp] on the Kustarica movie, Arizona Dream. He's really genuine, and he's a great friend and very supportive. His acting is quite phenomenal. It's very fluid and very effortless."
--Faye Dunaway
"Famous" (Biography Channel)
2004
"There is something cool about [Johnny Depp], cooler than he realizes. He thinks he's cool because of the hair and the clothes and the junked-up cars, but it's what he really is that's cool. He's a very complicated kid and he pays the price - he feels the feelings, and it's not easy for him."
--Vincent Gallo

The movie Arizona Dream gives a great account of how dangerous it can be to be caught up in your dreams and the little worlds those dreams can create and if you don't move beyond, you're dead alive. The only character that seems to be able to step out of his own little world and capable of reflecting is Axel...There are certain scenes in Arizona Dream that show things about Johnny Depp as a performer that I never would have suspected. In this film he stepped into a realm shared by characters in the films of Fellini and Brunuel. It pleases me that he can do art house as fantastically as this and do mainstream as well, although I do not entirely approve of the stuff that is too mainstream.His character is beautifully complex, he is a kook, but a sexy kook, and he is everything else besides. The other performances are also wonderful...but Depp 's performance isoutstanding in the movie..outshining all must say

Arizona Dream...The word "dream" comes up at least a dozen times in this movie, characters recounting dreams, or the film seamlessly showing them on screen, and appropriately it begins with a ten minute dream sequence(You only know it's a dream sequence because you're told it is afterwards), of an Eskimo in the snowy wilderness, catching a strange fish with both eyes on the same side, the Eskimo later becomes sick and is nursed back to health by his wife. From there we meet the dreamer Depp, who tags fish in New York, a job he loves because, "Most people think I count fish, but I don't. I look at them. I look at their souls and read their dreams and then I let them into my dreams." Then aspiring actor cousin Vinccent Gallo shows up, and asks Depp to come back to Arizona with him for his Uncle Jerry Lewis's wedding. Depp goes back and accepts a job selling Cadillacs, his uncles dream for them, until he meets an eccentric mother/daughter pair, the suicidal turtle obsessed accordion playing Lili Taylor and her vivacious, flighty, sexually aggressive mother, the latter Depp becomes immediately enamored with. Depp and Dunaway begin a very matter of fact and all consuming relationship (he leaves his job and uncles house and refuses to leave). After hearing of Dunaway's dreams to fly as a young girl, Depp decides and spends most of the movie, attempting to build her a flying machine. Meanwhile, Lili Taylor is sabotaging the machine, and Vincent Gallo is busy practicing his acting chops ..

good performances by Depp and Gallo outshining the others ..Depps relationships in the movie are passionate, sincere, but essentially child like, he doesn't know what to name how he fells about Dunaway so it must be "love". While Dunaway and her daughter are more two halves of the same person, stuck in an isolated country house, both with half the maturity and vitality the other needs..For the most part the movie is all comic smiles, and surreal shots of fish flying in the sky at random, but towards the end, the film takes somber tones, as the dream/relationships end...
There were a few moments of emotional disconnect where the characters actions make little if any literal sense (the Russian roulette scene), but do give a greater sense of the contradictory emotions which almost all of the characters deal with, except Gallo, whose clearly just there for fun.Arizona Dream , the political allegory of Underground is replaced here with a very internal story of dreamy sensations, fleeting passions, conflicting dreams, conflicting loves, growing up, and magical fish
