This is a glacier." -She's like, "It wasn't a person, 694 00:38:13,043 --> 00:38:15,883 -It's a glacier that's been calling me." -"It's a singing glacier." 695 00:38:15,962 --> 00:38:18,132 I don't think that's gonna make any sense at all. 696 00:38:18,214 --> 00:38:20,934 -Oh, a singing glacier! -[laughs] 697 00:38:21,009 --> 00:38:24,049 -Who doesn't have that problem? [laughs] -[laughs] 698 00:38:25,347 --> 00:38:29,057 I think the conversation went as well as it could possibly go. 699 00:38:30,185 --> 00:38:31,435 Where did Marc go? 700 00:38:37,484 --> 00:38:39,994 [Smith] Now we've got a screening in two weeks, 701 00:38:40,403 --> 00:38:44,493 but the decision's been made to go forward to try to get it ready for the screening. 702 00:38:45,784 --> 00:38:50,044 Feels a little bit like the patient is on the operating table, 703 00:38:50,121 --> 00:38:53,291 but we got one last shot at bringing it back. 704 00:39:02,926 --> 00:39:05,926 [Lee] Whether "Show Yourself" is the right song and can make it, 705 00:39:06,012 --> 00:39:08,562 there's a lot of debate going on right now on that one. 706 00:39:09,099 --> 00:39:10,979 [Smith] There's a chance it's gonna get thrown away. 707 00:39:11,059 --> 00:39:14,149 Almost all of our work gets thrown away, and then we do it again. 708 00:39:14,938 --> 00:39:16,228 [Buck] So tomorrow's the screening. 709 00:39:16,314 --> 00:39:19,944 There is so much in production already. We're 25% animated. 710 00:39:20,026 --> 00:39:24,986 But, for me, I think the song "Show Yourself" is still a problem area. 711 00:39:25,073 --> 00:39:28,493 I don't know if it works yet in this movie. 712 00:39:28,576 --> 00:39:32,406 Ask me after the screening how I feel. Ask me after the notes session how I feel.
