"He really kept every department going, creating, he listens to everyone's ideas, everyone's problems and just sorts it out." One of the unique aspects of the live-action adaptation was that many of the scenes were done underwater.
"Underwater they had to sing, speak and play scenes, it was all done on blue screen," Marshall said. "John and I, our mantra the whole time we were making the film was, the technical aspect of this cannot lead the film. It has to be the story, and it has to be the character work, and the acting, period.
