Inspirations for Characters

Date : July 21, 2015

Category : Default / Other

Question :

What was the inspiration behind Muk, Luk, and Boris? Did the staff try to pull characteristics of the character's respective voice actors into the design and personality of Balto's three sidekicks? 


Best answer :
Here is Simon's reply:

"Nicolas Marlet had done the designs for the characters before we cast the voices. Although it is common in animated movies to make the characters look similar to their voice actors, on this occasion we did not try to do this. Actually, Phil Collins created the voices of Muk and Luk in direct response to the drawn designs.

But certainly, the actors brought a great deal of themselves and their experiences to flesh out the personalities of the characters. Bob Hoskins' performance of Boris was a lot more emotional and effusive than we had originally conceived the character to be."

This question has been solved.
