Over the years, the Annies have evolved from an inspiration to an honored tradition in the world of animation.

Annie Facts
June Foray the voice of Cinderella created the Awards in 1972.
Max Fleischer had just died, and of course he was such a founder of animation, creating Betty Boop and Olive Oyl and Popeye and so forth, and he invented rotoscoping. It was a splendid idea to honor him and Dave Fleischer, his brother, who directed so many of the films. Thus Annie Awards was born named by her Husband.
