The first film not rated PG-13 or R by the MPAA to win the Oscar for Best Director since Out of Africa.
It became the first family film to win the Academy Award for Best Director since Oliver! at the 41st Academy Awards in 1969, though others have been nominated: Norman Jewison for Fiddler on the Roof, George Lucas for Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Steven Spielberg for Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Martin Scorsese for Hugo.
It was originally scheduled to be released on December 14, 2012, but when The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was announced for the same release date, It was postponed a week. It was then shifted a month in advance.
The film won 4 Academy Awards for Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Original Score and Best Director.
