Congrats on this movie.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Here talk to you.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I'm doing great.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Look.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Normally I would say what drew you to a movie
like this? What was the appeal? What was the attraction?
But when you say what the premise of this movie is,
obviously I understand why everybody's interested in because it's a
hilarious concept that Gindy put together.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
So here's my question.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
When you attack an animated role like this, do you
all have some sort of like big table read first
or something to kind of get the vibe of each other,
because I know you're not always in the booth.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
You are shaking your head, so that's a.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
No, Beck Yeah, no, no, I mean and I wish
we did, Like I get that we can't all be
in the booth together sometimes, but having a table read
it would have been so nice.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
It would help just to get the vibe and know
what other characters are going to sound like. That would
have helped. But you know, in these big animated projects,
obviously there's big actors. People are off on set and
they're in different locations. I know I was on location
when I shot part of this or recorded part of this,
and you know we got Catherine hun and need your
(02:55):
Selba and Fred Armison and Babby Monahan and then obvious,
so there was a lot of moving parts. So it's
hard to get people together to do those table reads well.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
But like River, when you approach a role like this,
then like are you just kind of relying on your
intuition and what Gindy says to you about the character
or do you get to hear the other lines.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I was one of the lucky few that I got
to actually do my scenes with Bobby moynihan, so our
scenes with Lucky were actually together. But otherwise I had
no idea what anybody else did or what was happening.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
So does that mean you have to like have a
bunch of different line readings? Beck or like, what does that?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
What does that do for you?
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean you you I think you go at the scene.
I mean, because I've done a lot of animation by myself,
and you go at the scene, Yeah, in the in
the way that you see it being done right, and
then Gendy will direct you in the right direction if
there's a shift that needs to be made. But also
I kind of I do it's nice to do it
(03:54):
with other people, but it's also nice to do it
by yourself because then you're totally uninhibited and you can
try different things and figure it out, and you're not
like taking up other people's time, and you're not self conscious.
Especially with the movie like this, where you might be
a little bit, you can just really go for it.
So so yeah, it's just you. The writing is really good,
and then you have the caroc the art, so you
(04:15):
go off of that and then Gandy stearsy in the
right direct. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I like that too.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
I like being when you're kind of when you're by yourself,
because I've done it both ways where you're with other
actors as well, and that's good for the chemistry. But
it's nice to just be able to do five ten
different takes in a row and try something new every time.
And that way, Gendy just has a ton of options
in posts and he can go, well, you try it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I know he tried it with.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
More hard or he tried it a little more earnest
for this one, or he was a real ratch dog
in this one. So he has a lot of options.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, well let me ask you, though, Adam, because you know,
comedy is so much about chemistry and timing, and when
you have a script, especially when it's animated like this,
does that kind of inhibit the you know, on the
impro I guess, I'm guess you can do it a
little bit, especially with the different vocal tones. But does
that inhibit you already? You have to kind of really
stay to the script. I would imagine.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
No, you don't, I mean you don't really you don't, Okay,
So I think Gendy wrote such a funny script that
you wanted to honor the script and not just be like,
I'm doing my own thing. But it was so funny
that you wanted to nail it. But then you were
allowed to go off and go on little tangents, and
you know, some of that makes it in the movie
and other they got to keep. Others don't because they
(05:30):
got to just keep the story moving. But I feel
like it's nice in an animation that you can do both,
and you could do both very quickly, as opposed to
on a film set where sometimes they are like, well,
we have to move on, we have to make our day.
This is you have time to play around?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, And did you enjoy kind of getting the because
River you said you were in there with Bobby, So
did y'all get to have that interaction where you got
to play around some and figure out maybe a different
way in and out of a scene that still furthered
the story along?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Oh yeah, totally. We got to. Really, I mean, he's
so fucking funny, and I wait, is it okay to
curse because it's fun Okay, Okay, Yeah, I'm like, this
is the kind of movie that we're but no, we
we totally got really into it. I mean from a distance,
you know, I was in we were in our respective
(06:24):
but but yeah, we definitely got to play around and
and he definitely, like his energy and his kind of
ability to be so uninhibited definitely like affected my ability
to kind of like let loose as well.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Well.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
The film's great. Y're all great in it. I had
a lot of fun with it, So I appreciate y'all
taking the time today. Take care
