The one thing I will say is, people are like 'What was on set? What was there?' The animators were there in suits, moving, doing all the blocking of the lions, and our camera was there in real time. Typically, in 2D animation, you're drawing with your hand, but in this process, the animators were drawing with their whole bodies.
I knew I'd learn a lot. I'm an enormous fan of Barry's movies, and the only measure of whether I'm going to say yes to a project is, 'Am I going to learn from this process?' I knew I would learn so much from him.
We had exchanged little notes, but when it came time to make this film and the idea of working with Lin was floated I went and watched interviews with Lin and your energy is always just so earnest and so passionate about what you're doing, and I was like 'Oh this is gonna be a slam dunk.'
