:25:00
as you watch Sinbad and Marina engaged
in this sort of verbal power struggle.
:25:04
The characters are blocking around
the scene...
:25:06
and literally fighting for screen space...
:25:08
in a way that echoes
that same power struggle.
:25:11
Marina pushes Sinbad against the edge
of the screen when she takes control...
:25:15
and when Sinbad comes back
he does the same to her.
:25:17
- Is it like a tango?
- It's like a tango.
:25:20
And the music is even a little bit
like a tango, rhythmic and punchy.
:25:25
We referenced Indiana Jones for that,
the first time Indy meets Marion.
:25:31
Of the many things Brad Pitt
brought to the role...
:25:33
the most amazing thing
was the sense of fun.
:25:35
So even when Sinbad was furious,
there was that line, "I didn't ask for this."
:25:40
He would come up with these
sort of explosive bits of anger...
:25:43
that were as fun as they were angry.
:25:45
And it kept Sinbad from getting dark.
:25:48
Simon Otto always coming up
with something funny for Jin and Li to do.
:25:52
...pickles, eggs and pickles.
:25:54
There's a person missing
that ought to be here.
:25:57
Jeffrey Katzenberg, who partnered
with Mireille in producing the picture...
:26:00
and runs our studio.
:26:02
Just really fun to work with...
:26:04
because he's just really
the world's greatest audience.
:26:07
You can put together a sequence,
check in with Jeffrey...
:26:10
and he has the ability
to put out of his mind past versions of it...
:26:13
and give you straight feedback
to what he thinks works and doesn't work.
:26:17
He had great input throughout,
including getting Spike more involved.
:26:20
Jeffrey really felt like Spike was
a great matchmaker for the film...
:26:25
the one who really wanted Sinbad
and Marina to get together.
:26:27
And so we incorporated a lot of
Jeffrey's ideas early on in this scene.
:26:31
That created a lot of fun animation
for the 2D effects crew.
:26:34
I think we had a lot of drool scenes
that came that we weren't expecting...
:26:38
that ended up being crowd pleasers.
:26:40
Spike wasn't originally part of the movie.
:26:43
He was added fairly, like, halfway through.
:26:46
- There was a different dog.
- Yeah, there used to be an Akita.
:26:50
- Yeah, he was too pretty looking, though.
- That's true.
:26:52
They needed somebody a lot more earthy
and a lot more drooly.
:26:57
Talking about Dennis Haysbert's
moral authority...
