:12:01
So that's it, then? No book?
Now what do we do?
:12:03
Rat is voiced by Adriano...
:12:06
Adriano Giannini.
:12:07
I'm going to mispronounce that.
But Adriano was a find for us.
:12:11
He just came up with
all sorts of amazing voices...
:12:14
and things to play with, with Rat.
:12:17
So we want more Rat in the picture, but...
:12:20
And Steve Horrocks did a great job.
:12:22
In Steve's animation, Rat flies and swoops...
:12:25
like a sort of latter-day Tarzan.
:12:28
Syracuse, I think the art department wanted
to spend a lot more time in Syracuse.
:12:34
Some beautiful development
and exploration of the city was done...
:12:39
but for time, we couldn't show you
half of what was done...
:12:42
with the beautiful loch mechanism...
:12:44
to enter the city with beautiful causeways
and bridges...
:12:48
where the boats are actually floating
more over the city...
:12:52
to enter and get to the palace.
:12:54
And Seth Engstrom,
one of Raymond's art directors...
:12:58
is incapable of designing
something that doesn't actually work.
:13:00
He just cracked us up. It was like,
"Here's how the loch works"...
:13:03
and, "I think the weight
is proportionally correct. "
:13:06
It's not only beautiful,
I think we could build this.
:13:11
This scene was a sort of late addition
in terms of the story line.
:13:15
We really wanted to have more fun
seeing and learning...
:13:18
about the history
between these once-old friends.
:13:21
So this idea of a party,
a dedication ceremony...
:13:24
for the Book of Peace arriving,
and Sinbad crashing it, was added...
:13:29
late in the game.
:13:30
When this set up for this back story
of that he knew her...
:13:34
blew me away in the screening
when I saw this...
:13:38
added sequence that really started
to pull everything together for me.
:13:42
For the longest time Marina was on the boat,
so when Sinbad attacked Proteus...
:13:45
he not only met his old friend,
he came face to face...
:13:49
with the woman who sent him
out to sea 10 years previous.
:13:53
So we figured it was just too much
to meet two important characters...
:13:56
bam-bam right in a row,
and we separated those introductions.
