Walt Disney Animation Studios is no stranger to creating new worlds for viewers to explore, but Disney’s latest animation feature coming out later this year is about new worlds. strange world Inspired by the pulp adventure stories of the early twentieth century and imagine a whole new land filled with strange and unusual creatures beneath the surface of the earth. As one can imagine, creating completely new environments can be a challenge.
CinemaBlend recently had a chance to sit down with her strange world Director Don Hall and we asked him how he and the Disney animators created the world and the creatures that lived within it for the upcoming Disney movie. Hall says he has some permanent rules regarding what creatures will be acceptable in this world. The first rule was that nothing could have a face. Hall explains…
I think the first (rule) will not be just faces. We didn’t want eyeballs or anything for mouths. (laughs) I think Killer Ts owns them. pterodactyls; But this is generally the case. We didn’t want… and maybe this became, “I just wanted to challenge the animators, and just be a decoration.” Just for lack of features so we don’t embody them right away. And then also, as animators, he urged them to find ways to move through their individual characters, and things like that.
Sure, if you’re trying to make a world that looks weird, you’re creating creatures that are as far from what we know as possible. We have seen in strange world trailer that at least some creatures are intelligent, and we generally attribute intelligence, even at the animal level, to creatures with faces.
But making creatures without obvious faces wasn’t the only rule animators had to follow when creating entirely new life forms. Hall also wanted the creatures not to have too many edges. Instead, we get things that are round and full of curves. On the other hand, these creatures still look unusual, but they are also more welcoming, allowing viewers to get attached to them. Hall continued…
And also everything, just making sure we don’t, again, that’s more than just my design visualization, but not a lot of “straight lines”. It’s a lot of curve, a lot of roundness. Again, the desire to not have so much solidity in the world, and to let it be kind of that – although weird and weird and terrifying at times, but also welcoming in a certain way.
strange world Certainly similar to what the title indicates. Don Hall previously co-directed Big Hero 6 And the Raya and the last dragon, which gives us a hint that we might be involved in a very Disney-heavy adventure. The movie arrives thanksgiving.
