In making the presentation to Mr. Katzenberg, Annecy Film Festival Artistic Director Marcel Jean, praised the mogul: "Not only has Jeffrey been a long-time collaborator and supporter of all of us here in Annecy, his track-record in animation is nothing short of legendary. From reviving the industry with such critically acclaimed films like Beauty and The Beast, and The Lion King, to launching DreamWorks Animation and giving us such memorable characters in films like Shrek, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon, there is no one more deserving of a lifetime pass to our Festival."
