Parents aren’t placating their kids when they take them to this movie because they’ll enjoy it as well. It’s something “The Muppets” did beautifully and “The Simpsons” does it. There’s something very special about the idea of a family being able to go to a movie and everyone enjoying themselves, genuinely. I am actually more proud of this movie than anything else I’ve ever done. Every time, it was just three hours of intense effort, trying to be as funny as I could, and to be on story with the improv, and give them as much material as I possibly could. And, from their standpoint, the goal is for me to give them as much material as I can possibly come up with, and they choose the funniest, the best and the most on-story. I probably went in six times over two years, or something like that. Jason: What’s cool about doing this animated film – and this is the only one I’ve done, so I have no other frame of reference – is that you go in for three hours, every few months.

Jason: I wouldn’t mind the shrink ray because I would like to make a lot of foods bite-sized, so that I could eat them constantly. Which one of Vector’s gadgets did you love and wish was real? No one is talking like they normally talk and it’s because, all of a sudden, you’re freed from the physical limitations of how you look, which is amazing. You’ll probably notice that nobody in the cast is doing their voice. He just wants to prove to his dad that he’s worthy and, in this case, the most evil person alive, so I drew from there. And then, this guy is based almost wholly on insecurity. All of a sudden, you get to be something that has nothing to do with the fact that I’m a 6'4", lumbering dude, and that was really exciting. The whole thing that drew me to doing an animated film is that you’re freed from the physical limitations of your physical body. Obviously, you look nothing like your character, but did you see any mannerisms that they picked up from you?
