were always about discovery,
and that's the way he wanted it.

:34:05
He was completely open to
playing with the character...

:34:08
so we really were always
uncovering new ideas and new ways...

:34:12
to be fun and clear with Sinbad whenever
we got Brad into the recording studio.

:34:17
We do about 10 sessions or so
with our main stars.

:34:20
We did about 10, maybe 11 with Brad.
:34:22
Each one's only two or three hours.
:34:24
And they're spread out over the course
of about two years.

:34:26
So imagine you're an actor
and over two years...

:34:29
you're doing bits and pieces of the movie.
:34:31
This one with the dog
is one of my favorites.

:34:33
We did a couple of scenes really cheap,
it's like, one, two drawings.

:34:38
Anybody touch the dog but Serguei?
He did every shot.

:34:41
He was the only one to draw the dog.
:34:43
This scene here was originally scripted as.
:34:45
"Thank you. You're welcome."
:34:47
And the interchange between Sinbad
and Marina came out as a big ad-lib.

:34:52
- No problem!
- Don't worry about it!

:34:53
- I won't!
- Good!

:34:54
- Goodbye!
- Bye to you!

:34:56
In that little moment
both of them trying to get the last word in.

:35:01
Lots of animators in those scenes
with the whole crew.

:35:06
We try in an animated film...
:35:07
to let a lead animator and their team
stick to one character...

:35:12
so that there's consistency.
:35:14
So sometimes when you see a shot like
one of these last ones...

:35:17
with 10 people in it,
there might be 10 animators involved.

:35:20
The moon-to-moon dissolve, my favorite.
:35:28
- Proteus, come quickly.
- What?

:35:30
There's a ship waiting in the harbor.
:35:32
A crew of my most trusted officers
will take you far from Syracuse.

:35:36
This is a really important scene
between Dymas and Proteus.

:35:39
And it gives us some sense
of the history between...

:35:42
the king, who we really tried to play
as much as possible, as a father...

:35:46
and his son.
:35:47
The king here, willing to subvert
his royal power...

:35:51
and sneak his son out of the world
simply because he doesn't trust Sinbad.

:35:56
One of the things
Raymond and team worked on...

:35:59
is the sense of not just colors
of the film, but the light and dark of the film.
