We’ll be rooting for Park Slope neighbors Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez this Sunday, when **[Let It Go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moSFlvxnbgk&feature=kp&ref=bklyner.com)**, the song they wrote for the animated movie **[Frozen](http://movies.disney.com/frozen?ref=bklyner.com)**, is up for an **[Oscar for Best Song](http://oscar.go.com/nominees?ref=bklyner.com)**.

They recently **[went out to Prospect Park with the New York Times](http://www.nytimes.com/video/movies/100000002732607/a-snowy-inspiration-for-frozen.html?ref=bklyner.com)** to discuss how the park was a big inspiration.

“We would sometimes ask Disney for pictures, just to inspire us,” says Bobby in the **[video](http://www.nytimes.com/video/movies/100000002732607/a-snowy-inspiration-for-frozen.html?ref=bklyner.com)**, “but in this case, it was just taking a walk in our own backyard basically, and it kind of put a picture in our heads, and allowed us to improv.”

But it wasn’t just our neighborhood that helped inspire the song — turns out the couple’s two daughters lent a hand as well.

“They helped us with lines,” Kristen said in **[an interview with NPR](http://www.npr.org/2013/11/24/246400590/in-a-tale-of-two-sisters-the-storys-in-the-songs?ref=bklyner.com)**. “They were always the first people to hear any of the songs that we wrote.”

Both girls also appear in the movie — the elder daughter is the youngest singing voice of Anna.

If they win the award this weekend, Bobby will **[join](http://entertainment.time.com/2014/01/17/if-frozens-let-it-go-wins-best-song-this-man-will-egot/?ref=bklyner.com)** the **[noble ranks of EGOT recipients](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fpeople%5Fwho%5Fhave%5Fwon%5FAcademy,%5FEmmy,%5FGrammy,%5Fand%5FTony%5FAwards?ref=bklyner.com)**, those who’ve won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. Good luck guys!
