"Obviously it would mean the world to us, Disney Animation hasn't won this category yet, and to bring it home to the cast and the crew… The crew has worked so hard, not just on Frozen but also on Wracked Ralph and Tango, that they feel they put their best efforts into this film and we want to show them that it paid off ." SOUNDBITE 2 - Chris Sanders (man) and Kirk DeMicco (man), co-directors of "The Croods" (English, 9 sec): "Kirk : we are very happy to make it to the final stage. Chris : we didn't know it was going to roll this fame, we were just trying to make a great film, we had no idea that we were going to get like a nomination.
