Most animated films bring each actor in one at a time and have them record all their dialogue acting against the director completely isolated. Gore Verbinski turned that concept on its head with Rango where he literally staged all the scenes and recorded the live performances of the actors - not only performing off each other but with props and minimal costumes as well.
Really cool approach that definitely enhanced the performances.
Oh wow, I have to do a film like this one day, this looks like so much fun. Like, add the fun and relaxed feeling of theatre rehearsals to the whole movie-making/recording process and that’s what this is.
This is brilliant.
