Peter Ellenshaw has received five Academy Award nominations, winning

In their first creative collaboration since Disney's, "The Black
Hole" (1979), Peter & Harrison Ellenshaw came together to create
"We can Fly". Their first in a series of collaborative works celebrated
the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney's, "Peter Pan".
Their second piece was "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," which
according to Harrison, "was my introduction to Hollywood, at least to
the Disney style of epic movie making. This was an exciting time,
seeing my father involved in one of Walt Disney's most successful live
action films."
