:14:00
Face to fist.
:14:01
It was literally bam-bam,
two important characters.
:14:03
'Cause Marina's intro in the movie
was decking Sinbad.
:14:09
Jed, the weapons expert,
had a bigger role once...
:14:11
but he did survive to have this one
really nice bit of business, a nice joke.
:14:15
It's actually voiced by one
of our story artists, Conrad Vernon...
:14:19
who's now co-directing Shrek 2,
so thank you, Conrad.
:14:22
And some animation was done in London...
:14:25
by the additional crew that we
had over there, and it was really fun...
:14:29
to work over there, video conference,
with those guys.
:14:32
They did a great job.
:14:35
And here we have Catherine Zeta-Jones.
:14:37
Catherine, just an absolute pleasure
to work with.
:14:40
She was almost restless with how
much she wanted to play with the character.
:14:44
She was never satisfied with her takes
and wanted to give you another version.
:14:48
Thank goodness she did...
:14:49
because her character...
It took a while to discover...
:14:51
this kind of strong, female, non-princess
that we wanted for the picture...
:14:56
and Catherine really helped us probe
and find some smarts and some authority...
:15:00
to the role of Marina.
:15:03
That scene with Spike
eating all the desserts on the table...
:15:06
was the last sequence animated in the film.
:15:09
Very complex...
:15:11
2D-drawn effects scene
with all the desserts and jiggling Jell-O...
:15:14
and the mess that Spike is making.
:15:16
Yeah, that was a monster
for it to come in last.
:15:20
Everybody had to work
in the same time on that scene.
:15:24
We just blew past a moment
where Dennis Haysbert as Kale...
:15:28
another really great performance,
gives us a clue...
:15:30
that he has known Sinbad really longer
than anyone of the entire crew.
:15:34
He's the only one who knows that Marina
is an important person in Sinbad's life.
:15:39
Kale was just kind of a first mate,
but it was with recording Dennis' voice...
:15:43
and not only does he have
a beautiful voice...
:15:45
but there's something about him
that's so upright and honest...
:15:48
and true,
and he really became Sinbad's conscience...
:15:51
and the one who tried to keep Sinbad...
Tried to encourage him to be a better man...
:15:55
than he was willing to be
in the first half of the picture.
:15:58
That was discovered
by Dennis' performance.
