What was more challenging to do Madagascar or Longest Yard?Ĭhris Rock: They're very similar except in The Longest Yard I actually had to wear pants. All the dirty ones are in a factory somewhere else.

#Madagascar 2005 zebra movie
But to me the toughest part was being alone all the time.Ĭhris, what are your thoughts on competing with your own movies on the 27th?Ĭhris Rock: Everyone will see Madagascar in the morning or in the afternoon and at night, they'll go and see Longest Yard.ĭo you think it is going to be the biggest opening weekendįor any one actor? Will it be referred to as the Chris Rock Memorial Weeke nd?Ĭhris Rock: Until the new Will Smith movie comes out. The animators videotape you when you are doing your session so they can see that stuff. Once you start to see the scenes come back, then you start to get a feeling for it. Was making an animated film more difficult then making a live action film and what was the biggest challenge?īen Stiller: For me it was sort of like not having any other actors there, I mean you are just standing there alone and not having anybody to react to you just have to use your imagination a lot. It is nice that there is something that they can see right now! That is an attraction. They can't see my movies now until they are 30. I told them I was coming here today and they thought that we were having the premier and they were all upset.Ĭhris Rock: It was nice to have something my kids can see. I was trying to wait and make it a surprise, so they are very excited. They saw a clip of Madagascar on a video and said, mommy you are playing a hippo? I was like damn it. Jada Pinkett-Smith: They actually told me, I didn't say anything. What type of reaction did you get from your kids when you Jada is the only person who I am starting to get to know now.Īndy Richter: We have known each other for a long time. I mean I have known these guys for a while. Andy, Chris, and I go back like 10, 15 years.something like that. I have just met Ben.īen Stiller: We have just been meeting here presently. Jada Pinkett-Smith: Well we just met on the press tour, press junket. Is there a sort of friendship behind the scenes and how did you guys met? So you are trying some different lines, some different interpretations and then they put it together really fantastically.Ĭhris Rock: How did I get into my zebra? I didn't even know it was a zebra until yesterday. It is a pretty challenging process just because like Ben was saying, there is no one there and you don't have any sets or props or anything. Jada Pinkett-Smith: I kind of agree with Ben, you know it is just kind of throwing a bunch of lines out trying and different stuff.
Of start to see it come together and then go back and redo stuff cause The characters are really unique and are not just based To see what the character is and that is one of the things that I likedĪbout the movie. Start to see scenes coming back then it really helps because you start So six months, a year into the process you
#Madagascar 2005 zebra trial
Trial and error, you just try things and you sort of feel sad cause youĪre alone in this studio with the microphone and nothing exists yet expect It does go on for a long time and in the beginning it sort of felt like Jeffrey Katzenberg: Which is exactly what we needed.īen Stiller: Ditto. I don't know, when you hear other actors talk about their work on their characters I just assume they are lying because I can't relate to it. How did you all find your inner animal and get into voicing the role?Īndy Richter: I really need to make up a good story because it is pretty much I looked at the picture and did a squeaky voice. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to visit lovely San Francisco and meet the talented stars of Madagascar. The film stars Ben Stiller as Alex the lion, Chris Rock as Marty the zebra, Jada Pinkett-Smith as Gloria the hippo, and Andy Richter as Mort the lemur. It's an incredibly funny and original tale about a bunch of zoo animals that accidentally get sent back to the wild. Madagascar is easily the best animated film that Dreamworks has made so far.
