Smallfoot: Danny DeVito and Karey Kirkpatrick on the Challenges of Making an Animated Movie
27Smallfoot: Danny DeVito and Karey Kirkpatrick on the Challenges of Making an Animated Movie
Before Warner Bros. and Warner Animation Group’s new animated adventure-comedy, Smallfoot, opens in theaters this weekend, I sat down with director Karey Kirkpatrick (Annie Award-winning director of Over the Hedge and Annie-nominee for the screenplays for Chicken Run and James and the Giant Peach) and Danny DeVito to talk about the film. Smallfoot stars Channing Tatum as a yeti that sends his hidden village in the mountains into an uproar when he announces that the legend of the smallfoot (aka humans) is true. The film also features the voices of James Corden, Zendaya, Common, LeBron James, Gina Rodriguez, Yara Shahidi, Ely Henry and Jimmy Tatro. If you’re a fan of animated movies, or just a parent looking to take your kid to the movies, I absolutely recommend Smallfoot. I had a really good time watching it and all the kids in my theater loved it.
During my time with DeVito and Kirkpatrick, we discussed what people would be surprised to learn about the making of an animated movie and they also played “Get to Know Your Smallfoot Cast Member and Director” which includes questions like what TV show they’d like to guest spot on, what is the background photo on their phone, what TV show have they watched all the way through more than once, if they own and movie or TV show props, and a lot more.
