This is for everyone. This is for our fantastic crew and this is for everybody who worked so passionately on our film to make our dream come true.

HUGH WELCHMAN:
Yeah, no this really is a fairy tale ending for us, but hopefully it's only the beginning for "Peter." And this amazing award will help keep Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" in the hearts and minds of children all over the world. The Academy, thank you so much. It's been amazing.
