When I first saw this movie when it opened I thought, where did this Channing
Tatum voice come from? Then I thought, is this Channing Tatum's dad voice? It might be my dad voice. That's probably,
because it is how I play with my like, I'm really, really goofy with my daughter,
like I'm, I'm a complete fool. It's probably why she doesn't listen to me so
much. She's like you have no authority when you act like an idiot all the time. Yeah I
don't know, I mean, me and Carrie actually worked a lot on my voice because I
didn't want it to be mine, but I also didn't want to lose like, like that kind
of the fun part of me I guess, and we realized that it's, it's the Migo's, he has
no sarcasm. There's no like, I mean no sarcasm. He means every single thing
that he's actually saying. And that was kind of just, and finding that like kind
of exuberance was fun. That's a great quality, actually. My favorite part of the
film is the music. Yeah. You guys got to both record songs for this film. Was
that different than voicing your character? Yeah, it was different.
It was different because we both got kind of like lied into it. Like, uh
Carrie, Carrie was just like, hey you guys, yes, come on, you just going to be doing some acting. Had you ever sang before?
I sang once in a little, sort of a little part, in a Coen Brothers movie. Did you get
advice from Common? Yes, I was like Common, Common, tell me how to get out of this. Show me the way.
I didn't know we were gonna have to do this. I didn't have a problem with it, with doing a song, but it was, it was new for me because I usually write
the songs that I do and Carrie actually wrote, wrote the song, and he presented it
to me and said we should, this is the idea, we should maybe whatever you want
to change, or if you want to rewrite it, and I felt that it was really perfect to
be honest. And, it had all the visions that he would have because Carrie has a
real good picture of what, Carrie is our director, has a real good picture of what
the whole project is. And so I just, I had to work myself into
getting good at saying his raps because you know it's like, when you're an artists
and you're a writer, you kind of take pride in being able to write your stuff
you know, but, you know, I let go of that and just was able to get into the Stonekeeper
wrap and let it lie. Luckily. The air feels good. There is a blizzard coming right now.
Luckily though there are good messages in the film so the lyrics are still
words that you can believe in. What are the messages that you specifically took
away after being part of this film? Well I think one of the greatest messages for
me was like that, you can challenge the system in a way, meaning if you're told
that these, the Stonekeeper from years and generations that always told the
Yeti's this is the way you do it, this is, this is the loss and don't question the
loss, just live by the loss. You have to question those laws at some point in
life or you won't progress and I think the thing of finding your
truth and questioning, you know the powers that be, is a really great message.
I agree. I mean, I mean I couldn't say it any better than that.
There's also, you know friends, friendship in the movie and like
how that, how that rolls into like your truth. And you know, just because it's
somebody else's truth that you know, somebody's telling you that, you know
like the Stonekeeper's telling Migo that look, we have to like uphold this
set of essentially lies to protect the village. Migo you know, really has to
learn the hard way that you can't do that. You can't protect people by lying
and then you like, even though it's gonna be hard,
the truth can sometimes be the hardest way but, but it's really the only way.
