George, can you talk about your collaboration with Savion Glover and the challenges of choreographing so many different sizes and shapes of animated wildlife?
George Miller: Well, the first thing to know is that I can’t sing and I can’t dance, and so in a way I had no right to be there. But we had very, very good choreographers and people who really understand music. Everyone from the composer John Powell to three choreographers—in this case Wade Robson, who did the earlier material; Dein Perry, you might know him from Tap Dogs, who did all the tapping later on; and Kate Warmald,...
