feeling listless

Animation Disney may be a monolith production company but there are some hugely talented artists working for it as this hugely entertaining interview with the makers of Atlantis (from '24framespersecond') proves. They also know their limitations when it comes to actors like James Garner: "We would give him a line to read. Not only would he not give us the same line reading twice, but he would not give us the same line twice. Just let him go. We learned early on that it doesn’t really help to write for him. Just write generally where you want him to go and keep the mic on (pretending to read the script) Hmm, funny line about dynamite and paper clip. (imitating Novello) OK, I can do that."
