Congratulations to them for earning this recognition for their outstanding work!
A leading newspaper here in the Philippines printed a picture of the Oscar winners for the Best in Visual Effects yeasterday.To my suprise,that picture was even bigger than those of the winners in the acting categories:)
Personally, I have mistaken some of the visual effects in this movie for real. There was quality effects shot in pretty much every frame.
Congrats!!!!! my son loves this movie!
