00:02Gli ultimi umani devono essere da queste parti. Aspettate! Arribano!
00:14Cos'è una station wagon color mattone del 1993?
00:16Cos'è una station wagon color mattone del 1993?
00:24Prima di tutto, ringrazio per il tuo film. Lo amavo e mi ha inspirato a fare film con i miei
00:31figli.
00:32Oh, bella! È il migliore!
00:35Quindi, Moncini, i film sono meravigliosi e brillanti. Come hai avuto questa idea? È qualcosa che hai fatto nel passato?
00:46Movies with the dogs?
00:47Yeah, yeah.
00:49Um, yeah, I mean, not, we actually, yes, I would say, we, when I was a kid, I made movies
00:54with my cousin, and we would make movies with, like, our grandma was the main, our grandma was the villain,
01:01she was like the penguin, you know, we had, we made a, we made a Batman movie where the, where
01:06the pug, the real Monchi, was Alfred, and it was like, Alfred, you know, like, bring me my tea, and
01:13then the dog would like come, you know, spilling in with tea.
01:16Um, uh, but, but yeah, we, we made stupid movies like this when we were, um, when we were kids,
01:21and, and I just think that there's something so pure about it. Um, it's very unpretentious when you're a teenager.
01:27You just make whatever spazzy thought comes out of your head. Um, and I always really respected that.
01:33Uh, about the basic idea for the film. Uh, what inspired you in telling this story?
01:40Yeah, I, I just, I think it was just that I really, I love my family, and I wanted to,
01:47sort of, make a movie about family, and about families that are, like, kind of different and dysfunctional.
01:52Um, and, sort of, like, I was trying to, sort of, figure out a way to have that, like, dysfunction
01:59be not, um, you know, sort of, like, if it's just, like, a chamber drama about a family, um, it
02:06might not play.
02:08Um, so, uh, so basically, I tried to combine it with something that I loved when I was a little
02:12kid, which is, like, killer robots.
02:14Um, and, and it was also funny, because my dad is this, like, my dad is, like, the main character
02:20in the movie. He's exactly like that guy. He's, he loves nature. He goes on hikes all the time. Like,
02:26all he wants to do is go hunting and fishing with me.
02:28Um, and, uh, and basically, I just thought it'd be fun to see him, that character, fighting against a robot,
02:37which, because he can't even work a computer, you know, he's always, like, there's a virus on this thing.
02:42Um, so, um, so we were, I was just, I basically just, sort of, thought that that combination was really
02:46funny. Um, and, and then, sort of, like, dug deeper into the relationships and, sort of, found the, found the
02:52heart of it, too, because, because it wouldn't, it wouldn't be anything if it didn't have that.
02:58I loved each one of the Mitchells, including Monty, of course. Uh, can you, can you tell something about the
03:04character design for them?
03:06The character design? Yeah, sure. Um, the, uh, you know, Lindsay Olivares was our, is our character designer and production
03:12designer, so she's, like, kind of the art boss of the movie, the one who does all the 2D art,
03:17and then another guy, Mike Lasker, puts it all into 3D, but, um, but she's did all the 2D art,
03:22and her designs are so wonderful, because they're so observant.
03:26Like, I love that Katie draws on her shoes, and, and, sort of, like, does little faces on her knees,
03:34and, you know, and stuff like that, and writes on her hands. Like, she, basically, Lindsay always tried to take
03:39the character's external, um, identity, or, sort of, internal identity, and make it external.
03:45So you could just look at them, and in the minute, you understand who they are, and ideally, you, like,
03:49recognize them. You're, like, oh, my aunt is like that. Or, you know, oh, my little cousin reminds me of
03:54that person, you know? So, um, so we were, we were so lucky to have Lindsay, and I, I, I
03:59love the character design.
04:00You have comedy, action, adventure. Was it difficult to balance all the elements of the film?
04:07Yes. Yes. Yes, it was very difficult. Um, it, it, and it really was, you know, it, it, it, sort
04:14of, one of the things that's wonderful about animation is it's, you just get to do, you just try, you
04:21can try it really quickly by having someone just storyboard it out, and then you put it in editorial, and
04:27you watch it, and you're, like, this isn't working.
04:29You know what this needs? Maybe it needs, you know, a little bit of, uh, you know, this action, this
04:34is too much action for too long. It's boring the audience. You know, what we really need is an emotional
04:40scene here to, sort of, ground all this action and make it mean something.
04:44Um, so we, it was a really hard balancing act the whole time, because, you know, it's, like, you want,
04:48and I'm, like, kind of, like, um, you know, uh, I always want everything to be super funny. I'm, like,
04:54oh, maybe we could add 10 more jokes.
04:56And, and, sort of, my, my co-writer, my co-director, Jeff Rowe, who's really great, is, sort of, like,
05:00Mike, calm down, man. We've, we've got a lot of jokes. There's a lot of jokes in the movie.
05:06Um, but, yeah, so it was a hard balancing act.
05:09One last question. Um, I like the work you did on music, and one of my favorite songs, songs, is
05:16in the film. Can you tell something about your choices?
05:20Yeah, um, I, I mean, I think, like, our, like, our, sort of, philosophy, and, sort of, like, my, sort
05:24of, philosophy with making films is,
05:26just, like, I really think if you bring things you love into it, people will tell, you know, because it's,
05:33like, when I watch, like, a Quentin Tarantino movie
05:35or something, I don't, it's not, like, I, like, know or love those songs, but I can feel that someone
05:40loves them, and I can feel
05:42there's, like, energy behind them, and they pick that song, and not this one, and it's a deep cut from
05:46that album, you know, and, and so I wanted
05:49to do that. I wanted to have the soundtrack be all songs that we love, um, like, even if there
05:55was a song
05:56that fit that we didn't love, I was, like, get rid of it, um, because, because I just, I, I
06:02feel like people
06:02can sense that energy, um, they could, sort of, sense, like, an authorship and, and an excitement and, and, and
06:09love in those choices, and if they sense that, they might, sort of, it'll be beaming into them,
06:15hopefully. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you for your time. Appreciate it.
06:48Thank you.
