Oliver & Company | George Scribner | 1988

[art-ofprydain]

transcript excerpt from the audio commentary of Don Hann's documentary Waking Sleeping Beauty:

Don Hann: Now let's hear from George Scribner, Who went on to direct Oliver & Company,

here he talks about working at the studio during The Black Cauldron.

George Scribner: There was this level of dissension and the movie that they were working on this was The Black Cauldron was not universally liked.

You go to screenings and you would be watching sequences that had very little character development. Or no one was compelling, there was no one of interest. Yet there was-- These sequences and these beats and these acts were celebrated by the directors and the producers above you.

You're at them, going, are we looking at the same movie? What are you trying to accomplish? Where's the charm? Where's the heart? Where are all the things that made Dumbo? Which, in my opinion, is one of the greatest movies ever made.

It's the simplest storyline with this enormous sense of affection and emotion. And it's this gorgeous little film. I'm like, do you guys know your legacy?

Do you know the precedents that have established that you can look back to? What are you tryin to do?

It became clear, apparently, that I suppose most of these directors were looking at "Raiders" and some of the work that Lucas and Spielberg were doing

And how can we make movies like them? Well no, the object is to make movie that are dear to your heart, that spring within you.

It was a crazy period
