00:00Hi, Phil. It's lovely to see you again. How are you doing?

00:04Nice to see you. I'm good, thank you.

00:05It's nice to see you. Listen, you're really busy at the minute. You're in everything.

00:09Am I? Well, it just looks like that.

00:12It's one of those ones you film them and then they're all coming out at the one time, right?

00:15It's a bit like that.

00:16Tell me about playing Longneck in this. Was it a joy to be a part of this? Because I just love animated movies.

00:22Well, I could tell right from the start because the drawings were so fabulous and it's kind of different.

00:28The background is sort of impressionistic. It's just a different kind of cartoon.

00:32But they were serious people and the script was great.

00:36I've waited quite a long time to be a goose because I've played rabbits and I've been all kinds of other things.

00:43But a goose was kind of satisfying and it turned out so well.

00:48I haven't seen the movie yet but everybody seems to think it's pretty good.

00:52It's beautiful. There's something about animated movies that makes me emotional though.

00:56Do you think it's because it taps into our inner child?

00:58I don't know. I see quite a few because I have grandchildren.

01:02So, you know, I'm a Despicable 4 fan and I'm an Inside Out 2, I saw recently.

01:11So, you know, I'm up to speed with all that.

01:13In playing a goose, how much time did you spend with geese? Did you go quite method on it?

01:17I spent a lot of time with geese. You can imagine.

01:20I went to small islands off the coast of wherever and I lived there for a while.

01:24And I grew to feel that I was part of the goose nation.

01:27And this is why you're one of the best in the world, Bill. It's so lovely to see you again.

01:31You've got to put in the hours.

01:32Exactly. Lovely to see you again. Always a gentleman. Thank you so much.
