PAULINE KAEL needs undocumented workers PART III

[Matt]

Damn, totally spaced out on this. I'm really not all that available during the timeframes that you've outlined, so go for B_Metal.

Thank you very much, sincerely, for the opportunity. It would have been a neat thing to do.

[Anderson]

Everything's locked and loaded. Try to keep the Wall-E questions to a minimum, as they want to talk about what's on deck. Not the Mars movie.

[B_Metal]

Sure thing. Plus those guys have three or four other films besides WallE. There's ties to Nemo, ratatouille, monsters Inc., and of course Up.

[Anderson]

I'm just going over the decorum that I was informed about earlier today.

[B_Metal]

Understood.

[Ed Hocken]

Knock'em dead B.

[B_Metal]

I hope to. Never taken part in one of these so I'm excited. Hope I don't embarass BDR.

Q: What are the challenges writing for animated movies that one might not face with live action, and how do you overcome those challenges?
Pete Docter: We approach our writing exactly as one would approach a live- action screen play; the focus is on character and keeping the audience engaged. Our whole process is remarkably similar to live- action; we have cinematographers, lighters, costume designers, etc. We use different tools to get there, but the creative process is the same.

Out of the 58 questions I asked, here is the one that got answered. Just know I gave it my best effort. Wish some of my other questions got answered but hey, at least I made the cut.
