City Lights Meets Pixar
Manage episode 338017534 series 2913572
Ever wonder how long it takes to make a Pixar movie? 1 year? 3 years? Try 7. Pixar senior creative Dan Scanlon drew from a very personal story when writing the 2020 Academy Award-nominated Pixar film Onward, starring Chris Pratt and Tom Holland, who play two brothers trying to reconnect with their father who has long since passed, through the world of magic.
But Pratt and Holland didn’t always voice brothers Barley and Ian. Through a process called “scratch,” Ian was originally voiced by writer/director Dan Scanlon himself, and Barley was originally voiced by City Lights actor and resident sound designer George Psarras. Through countless rewrites and in-house screenings, Scanlon and Psarras voiced the brothers for 3 years. Psarras and Scanlon caught up with each other recently and chatted about their time together making Disney/Pixar’s Onward.
Music, editing, and sound design by George Psarras. Featuring guitars by Paul Psarras.
