Winners' acceptance speech by Robert Legato, Dan Lemmon, Andrew R Jones and Adam Valdez for The Jungle Book in the Special Visual Effects category
ROBERT LEGATO: Thank you so much to the British Academy and to the UK in general for allowing us in the country. We really appreciate that. Also, I guess I have to thank the UK for Kipling; pretty good story that we got to work from. If I can introduce the people probably most responsible for the calibre and quality of the film, besides Jon Favreau, Alan Horn and Disney, are these three geniuses behind me.
ADAM VALDEZ: Thanks. We wanted to just say thanks to BAFTA for recognising the over 800 artists at MPC Film in London who worked on the film. Every blade of grass and tuft of hair and performance you see was made by artisans. So this is for you guys. Cheers.
DAN LEMMON: I just want to thank my team back at Weta Digital in New Zealand. Very talented and, without them, we couldn't be here today.
ANDREW R JONES: And lastly, I would just like to thank all the fathers, mothers, spouses and families of all the artists. Without your love and support, we couldn't do what we do. Thank you very much.
