When you have doubles on set,

00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:15,600
you should see their outfits.

They don't get, like, buttons or zippers.

It's, like, poor people clothing.

[DZAMA] I used to make these films on
a Fisher-Price pixelation camera,

They start playing a chess game

and the chess pieces come to life

35
00:01:43,060 --> 00:01:45,950
and have a dance off with each other.

36
00:01:45,950 --> 00:01:49,080
There's not that much dialogue
because of all the dancing in this chapter.

37

I'll do these half-assed drawings [LAUGHS]

and then let her...
