Some of Timon and Pumba’s Scenes Were ImprovisedMost of the film’s lines are pulled directly from the original script, but the more comedic bits were given more freedom. “The actors really are driving these characters a bit, which is nice.” “We’re able to bring some of the actors together where they have a scene together and actually have them be off book a little and get some eye contact patterns and certain things that we can use for their performance of the animals,” Jones said. While they were performing, cameras captured their performances so the animators could incorporate certain nuances into the final product. Giving the actors some space to move around and interact was preferable to just having them read their lines in a VO booth. The Actor Performances Were Reflected in the AnimationWhile on set, we were shown the “black box” area where the actors would gather to perform a scene. We learned a lot about behaviors and different things that we’re gonna try and bring in this film,” Jones told us. The big cats versus the the prey animals. “It was quite fascinating to me because I’d only seen these animals in zoos and to really see them in their own environment and get a feeling for how they do roam around each other and how they react around each other. The trip was especially eye-opening for animation supervisor Andy Jones. This research gave them first-hand perspective on how the animals behaved while they were running, lounging, eating, sleeping, and interacting with one another. They Took a Trip to Africa to Study AnimalsFavreau took a three-week trip to Kenya with his team to study animals in their natural habitat.
