Bristol film makers Aardman Animations have been nominated for their 5th Oscar for the 'Shaun the Sheep Movie'.

The film is a strong contender in the Best Animation category, but faces competition from Disney's Inside Out.

Co-Director Mark Burton says they're being careful not to be too optimistic.

The 88th Academy Awards, hosted by Chris Rock will be held at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre on 28 February.
