and develop her first strong
bond on the boat.

:32:03
Although there was thoughts of putting
a watery she-dog...

:32:10
And the water is really
one of DreamWorks' specialties.

:32:12
I mean, we had waters
in every movie we made.

:32:15
From the Prince of Egypt,
the parting of the Red Sea.

:32:19
So people surely know how to do water.
:32:22
And here one of the biggest challenges
was to get water to flow uphill...

:32:25
and down waterfalls...
:32:28
and something that the boat
could actually sail on in real spaces...

:32:31
within the computers. Very challenging.
:32:35
- We beat the heck out of our hero here.
- He gets clobbered.

:32:38
Dog steps on his head, he gets clocked
with a block of wood. Poor Sinbad.

:32:42
He's a nice hero, though.
He's not invulnerable.

:32:44
He's actually a human guy, though,
and I think much more likeable.

:32:48
Yes, those were flying fish going by you
in a mere two shots...

:32:51
for all of the development effort.
:32:52
- Gone forever now.
- There they are.

:32:55
The point was that Sinbad
has now crossed a threshold.

:32:58
He's passed through a place that
nobody has ever passed through before...

:33:01
and reached a new land of fantasy
and adventure...

:33:04
that nobody really knows
any of the rules about.

:33:07
So those flying fish are our first clue...
:33:09
that we're now in a new world
where anything can happen...

:33:12
including men making out with fish.
:33:14
- What happened?
- Sinbad saved us.

:33:17
Spike is so happy.
:33:18
He's just so looking forward to the apology
and thank you to come. Poor naive dog.

:33:22
He's got to learn a lot
about human nature, Spike.

:33:25
We redid that shot because originally
we had framed Sinbad's bottom...

:33:29
into the shot,
and of course we can't see that yet.

:33:36
Again, this is where Brad Pitt really excels.
:33:38
Where this could have been
too aggressive... We want him to be a jerk...

:33:42
but you sort of want to follow the jerk,
and not give up on him...

:33:45
and this is a pretty nasty speech,
and Brad does it...

:33:47
with such desperation
that you never really believe he's that angry.

:33:51
He just sounds sort of desperate
and he really nailed this for us.

:33:55
Brad was great. He just wanted to play,
and we would come up with alternate lines.

:33:59
He would come up with alternate lines.
The studio sessions with him...
