"Frozen" Wins Producer Award

Peter Del Vecho.

I won't be posting all the awards for Animated Films because, quite frankly, it would bore the heck out of me. Just assume that "Frozen" wins everything because it pretty much will.

I'm making an exception here because I didn't even mention the name of the producer of "Frozen" in my previous write-ups. He's just another working stiff like anyone else and deserves his moment. Peter Del Vecho is his name. He won the best producer award. Congratulations!

Frozen notched another win on the awards circuit: Peter Del Vecho won the Producers Guild Award for Oustanding Producer of an Animated Theatrical Motion Picture. The other competitors in the category were the producers of The Croods, Despicable Me 2, Epic and Monsters University.

Accepting the award, Del Vecho said:

I worked for Disney for almost 20 years. This is the first Disney film to bear the producers’ mark.

I assume he meant by that quote that "Frozen" had originality and a point of view throughout, and was not another cookie-cutter "Disney" film. If so, he was quite correct, which is why everyone seems to love the film. Great work that led to a great sequel, too.
