Also, it is the first R-rated animated film to be considered for those honors. Some of the subject matter of the film has led to it's being banned in Lebanon. The film also became the first Israeli winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film since The Policeman (1971), and the first documentary film to win the award.
