Yesterday we posted the second part of a Question and Answer session with the the “Tinker Bell And The Lost Treasure” Director Klay Hall and Producer Sean Lurie.

Below is the third section of that session:

Q: Do you anticipate any of the other Peter Pan characters making appearances in Tinker Bell films?

Klay Hall: You never know! It would be great.

Q: My question is to Mr. Hall. You have directed and produced several animated series. What made you want to direct this particular film?

Klay Hall: The opportunity to work with such an iconic character, such as Tinker Bell, was inspiring. I was up for the creative challenge of working with the classic Tinker Bell, but yet giving her a bit of a fresh look. Also, the opportunity to work with John Lasseter in such close proximity was a dream come true.

Q: What are the advantages of treating the fairies’ world in CG? And what are the difficulties that implies, too?

Sean Lurie: We felt that CG was a great medium for these films because it allows us to create a truly magical world. The richness, color and depth is fantastic. We also felt that CG would help create an environment that we could easily return to in subsequent films. Our biggest challenge with CG was to create a faithful rendition of Tinker Bell. We spent a lot of time on this because we know that this is a beloved character.

Q: What was John Lasseter’s involvement like on this film? At what level(s)?

Klay Hall: It was awesome! Working with John was a dream come true. He is so invested in these Tinker Bell films and very hands on. John is very much a collaborator and helpful at every level. He was involved practically at all levels. From working with us on the original story pitch, costume design, character design to sequence approval, animation, music and the final sounds effects mix.

Q: Different crews have been working on five different Tinker Bell movies. How do you manage to keep her consistency along all those adventures? Is there someone in charge of supervising the coherence of the whole? John Lasseter? How does that work?

Sean Lurie: Yes, this is a challenge. We have a story trust composed of the Directors, writers, producers, and selected others who review and offer help to each other and their projects. A lot of consistency issues are resolved in these meetings.

Q: Mr. Lurie, You have produced several animated films, what makes this one different from the rest?

Sean Lurie: Working with such a classic and popular character Tinker Bell is very unique. Working with people like John Lasseter is also a dream come true.

Q: To Mr. Lurie. Why was Klay Hall chosen to direct “Tinker Bell And The Lost Treasure”?

Sean Lurie: Klay Hall is a great Director. He very funny, and he wants to tell great stories. Klay is specifically well suited for a project like this because he is a huge fan of Disney and the Classic characters and films.

Q: Who is your favorite fairy?

Klay Hall: It’s got to be Tinker Bell. What I love about Tinker Bell is she is feisty, has a bit of an attitude and tends to make mistakes. Yet, these attributes make her feel real and relatable to me.

Don’t forget that “Tinker Bell And The Lost Treasure” is releasing to Disney Blu-ray and DVD on October 27th! Are you planning on picking up a copy?
