00:00There's no Gantu.
00:01Tell me why.
00:02What happened?
00:03You know, you're not the first person.
00:05You're difficult to work with.
00:06Yeah, I've got cut out.
00:07He's massive.
00:08I shouldn't, but I want to know why.
00:09He wanted too much money.
00:10No, I think that there are...
00:13I think, you know, my approach to the film is to respect the fact that animation is a
00:19very different medium than live action.
00:21And I don't think it usually works when there's a danger in just trying to port it one-to-one,
00:27literally just depicted in photoreal photography.
00:30Because I think you lose a lot of expressiveness and all these things that animation does better
00:35than live action.
00:36There are a lot of those.
00:37There's ways it can also cheat that live action can't.
00:39And there's a...
00:40You know, live action can also do things better than animation can't, which is what we kind
00:44of tried to write a little bit more towards in recalibrating it for a live action film.
00:48Gantu is one of those things that, you know, it just didn't work so well in live action.
00:55We explored it a bit, but ultimately we had to make a decision.
00:59And also, I still...
01:00I do stand by the decision because I feel like a lot of the things that, in trying to ground
01:05these characters more and tell a story with a little more emotional depth, especially
01:09between the sisters, I feel like you have to free up real estate to allow that breathing
01:15room to do those things.
01:16And, you know, sorry, Gantu.
01:18Sorry, Gantu.
01:19Good one.
01:21All right.
01:22If you're in a relationship with the friends that can help you, then you can keep
01:25him comfortable with a little bit more and解quable.
01:28Silence of the emotions.
01:29It's not the same.
01:30A little bit more.
01:31Nothing.
01:32Yeah.
01:33I'm sorry.
01:34What's happening in the back of the world?
01:35All right.
01:36I'm sorry.
01:37I'm sorry.
01:38I'm sorry.
01:39I'm sorry.
01:40Not just one moment.
01:41I'm sorry.
01:42I'm sorry.
