Christopher Mintz-Plasse<\/strong>: I definitely did something weird. They liked my voice, so they called and offered it to me. It was a bully, so I was thrown off at first. I was like, ‘I\u2019ve never done anything like this.’ I knew it was animation and I knew it was a bully, so I didn\u2019t want to go in sounding like this. I tried to get as evil and as bully-esque as possible, so I created this surfer idiot, complete moron vibe, and it works really well.<\/p>\n
Why do you think they thought of you to play a bully?<\/p>\n Christopher Mintz-Plasse<\/strong>: I still haven\u2019t asked them. I don\u2019t want to know. I don\u2019t get into that. They just called me up and said, ‘We love your voice, and we would love to have you do this.’ They didn\u2019t have anything in mind. They let me create it, which was really nice.<\/p>\n Were you able to go off script?<\/p>\n Christopher Mintz-Plasse<\/strong>: Yeah. They do the dialogue before any sort of motion capture is created or anything. They film you when you\u2019re doing the dialogue, so if I do any arm gestures or anything weird with my mouth, if they think it works, they put it into the character. It\u2019s nice.<\/p>\n Having already done “How to Train Your Dragon” and “Marmaduke,” what was different about doing this voice work?<\/p>\n Christopher Mintz-Plasse<\/strong>: I\u2019ve been a huge stop-motion fan since “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Animated movies come out every weekend now. Madagascar 17 is coming out next week. [laughs<\/em>] There are just so many of them. Stop-motion is so special because they\u2019re rare. I think the last one was “Coraline,” and the one before that was “Corpse Bride.” You could probably name them all on both your hands. So, I wanted to be a part of that because I think people are going to love it and the character was great. It was different from the other animated movies I\u2019ve done because they actually got all the actors in the same room. I\u2019ve never done that before. I got to do scenes with Kodi [Smit-McPhee], which is great for the movie because it just feels more natural that way.<\/p>\n
