: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...
