Sitting in front of Kilkenny castle at 3am wasn't how the gang at Cartoon Saloon might have imagined celebrating their latest Oscar nomination but they're delighted to be taking part.

Co-founder of the Kilkenny based animation studio Paul Young confirmed to Dermot and Dave that they'll be tested across the weekend, a crew from Waterford will be filming and Kilkenny Castle will be in the background as they wait to see if Wolfwalkers will nab them the prize at the Academy Awards.

It's been another incredible year for Cartoon Saloon with Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations as well as 5 Annie Awards for the film.

Paul also spilled the beans on the famous Oscar swag bags!
