:05:02
that we sort of had to go this far.
:05:04
The tone of the scene is more like...
:05:07
the relationship might have been
10 years ago.
:05:09
Sort of a friendly competition
with smiles on their faces...
:05:12
and almost a bluff
and challenge sort of a thing...
:05:14
that doesn't quite escalate to a real fight.
:05:17
They're more trying to disarm each other
than actually cut.
:05:23
Is our sea monster cool or what?
:05:25
We're so proud of him.
He went through a few iterations.
:05:27
He started out looking like Elmo.
We had a Muppet version of him.
:05:30
A giant sock puppet sea monster.
:05:32
But he had racing stripes.
:05:35
But we went back to the books,
and I think it was Richie Chavez...
:05:38
who contributed most heavily
to his design...
:05:40
and came up with this crustacean,
tentacled, lobster-squid guy.
:05:46
I think almost in one swipe...
:05:47
he designed all the celestial creatures,
and the sea monster to boot.
:05:53
Probably one of the most complex, rigged...
:05:57
3D characters I think done...
:05:59
- In history, not just in this movie.
- Just amazing.
:06:03
It drove the animators nuts.
:06:04
How many tentacles are there?
There's at least...
:06:07
- Eight tentacles.
- Eight tentacles.
:06:08
Each one of those
has got a million joints in it...
:06:10
to have to bend and twist...
:06:12
so you can make all those spaghetti shapes
with the tentacles.
:06:17
Simon Wells boarded this scene
and did a fantastic job...
:06:19
and it was his idea to give Sinbad
a reason to help Proteus...
:06:23
by having his boat be destroyed.
:06:25
So Sinbad actually throws in with Proteus
not out of loyalty to his old friend...
:06:30
but because he's really angry
at the monster for ruining his ship.
:06:35
It ends up reinforcing the bond these
two guys had 10 years ago.
:06:42
And everyone's favorite gag
in the opening here.
:06:44
There's nothing like visiting
a sea monster's stomach...
:06:47
and then coming violently back out on deck
to make your morning.
:06:55
Give that guy a raise.
