Yeah Babe was live action, animatronics you know the mechanical animatronics and the faces were animated but nothing else. This is completely opposite, this is literally all animation, nothing is real, except the humans did you see in a brief moment in the film. And we also the dancing, the basic core dancing was motion captured, I realized that dancers are born, they hone there skills over many years and it would take a life time for an animator to animate the kind of dancing we’ve got here. So we went to people like Shavian Glover who is the best tap dancer in the world and captured his performance and out it in the ?.

It slowly evolved the characters, our characters are based very closely on the real nature, the nature of the penguins, real life basically. So the Adele penguins we followed all the way up from the skeleton, the muscles, there size. Even the characters Robin Williams plays Ramon has a little kind of brown of fluff on top of his head, there’s pictures of where they lose like Mumble, sometimes they retain the adolescent fluff, so all of that, Lovelacey all of the characters Robin Williams play with the yellow feathers that a rock hopper penguin. The Leopard seal who attacks mumble, the elephant seals, there all based on nature so we wanted to follow it as closely as possible. We did work through the characters to develop slightly different looks so we could differentiate characters, but the main thing we spent time doing was just working out the technology. I mean how do you render six million feathers on these characters, we’ve used up a lot of time doing that.
