00:08La vostra prima eroina, Ariel della Sirenetta, era un personaggio femminile forte e ha lasciato
00:16un'eredità. Anche questa principessa, Vaiana di Oceania, è un personaggio femminile molto
00:23forte. Addirittura riesce a salvare da sola un semidio. Ariel è stata la prima principessa
00:30Disney forte, quindi voi con lei avete aperto la strada alle nuove eroine di oggi. Siete orgogliosi
00:37di questo?
00:37Well, yeah, Ariel, I think, many years ago, when we worked on The Little Mermaid, I think
00:43she was, we liked that we wanted to make her like a real teenager, like a 16-year-old girl,
00:49and she's rebellious, and she makes choices that sort of drive the story. And I think
00:55many people identified with that character, and that was very, very satisfying. Vaiana,
01:02I think, continues that, but she's very different than Ariel, even though they're both the same
01:06age, and they both have some father issues. One example, I mean, Ariel lives in the water,
01:15she lives in the ocean, and she's drawn to the land. And Vaiana lives on the land, and she's
01:20drawn to the ocean. But more than that, Vaiana is the hero of the movie in a different way.
01:25I think she really goes on a hero's journey, a classic hero's journey, where she is on a
01:31quest, and leaves home in a quest to save her world, to save her people. And if she fails,
01:39the consequences will be very dire. And she's forced to team up with this kind of broken
01:46demigod, to a certain degree. And she's tested and tested, and really has to overcome obstacle
01:52after obstacle to become the hero that she's meant to be. And there's no romance for her.
01:57This is not a love story, it's a story about someone becoming a true hero. So we think
02:04she is kind of a modern heroine in her own way, someone that can speak to young women of today.
02:14The Sirenetta is one of the first films of the Golden Age of Disney, and you have
02:19made the last film of Disney designed by hand. In this film, the face of the protagonist
02:25seemed very similar to that of the Princesses of Frozen, and I think it was due to the computer
02:33grafica. Però avete impresso al film il vostro marchio, grazie ai tatuaggi di Maui, che mi
02:41hanno ricordato molto i disegni dei vasi antichi di Hercules. Sentite che per voi la computer
02:49grafica ha cambiato la creatività, oppure no? Vi manca il disegno a mano?
02:55We think, this was our first film we did in CG, but we got to know many, many artists,
03:01and we think computer animation doesn't have limits, and that you can still try and get
03:07something very expressive, and you can get it very emotional, and there were many brilliant
03:12artists, many of them very young, who did amazing work in this. And the idea of bringing this ocean
03:16to life, I think we felt that there was a way that we could do this with computers, that when
03:20we did
03:21the Little Mermaid hand-drawn, it was, you know, there was only so much we could do with the water.
03:25Here there were many, many more complex things, but we did, we love hand-drawn animation,
03:29we love the idea of doing the tattoos in hand-drawn animation, because it, Eric Goldberg is one of the
03:35greatest animators in the world, he animated those tattoos, he did the genie in Aladdin, and we saw it as
03:41an opportunity to do something graphic mixed with CG, so I know people have said it's a bit of an
03:46homage
03:46to Hercules, it is a little bit, but in some ways it's an homage to Eric Goldberg, sort of, and
03:52the
03:52Genie, and all the great things he's done, and all the great hand-animation we've done in our movies, just
03:57celebrating how much fun that is, how expressive and caricatured it can be, we thought it sort of
04:02celebrated all of it, really.
04:06What relationship is there between the granchio of this film and Sebastian?
04:09It's a bigger Sebastian.
04:11Yes, I know Lin Manuel Miranda, who wrote many of the songs in the movie and worked with
04:18Opatah Fawai, he enjoyed the crab song in particular, because he was a big fan of The Little Mermaid
04:24and a big fan of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, and he thought of the song Shiny in this movie
04:30as the
04:31as the reverse, this was the crab getting revenge on the humans.
04:36The reverse of Les Poissons from Little Mermaid, where it's the crab that's getting beaten up,
04:40now the crab gets to beat the other person up, so, yeah, Sebastian's revenge, kind of, yeah.
04:46Okay, thank you.
04:47Okay, thank you a lot.
