And Lord and Miller, with their history of animation, they know how to do that.

They know how to do it.

And it's like, you don't need a face to show emotion.

That's right.

You just need body language.

And that's why we had, like, a crack team of puppeteers.

Yeah.

That's the other thing is just for anyone out there listening, this is the vast majority, like,

99.9% of the scenes where you see Rocky, that's a practical effect.

That's not CGI.

That is a puppet.

This is huge for you.

The only times we ever used CG for Rocky was when it was absolutely impossible to do it with puppeteering.

Like, you know, if he's moving around in an area where it's impossible to get puppeteers going or if he's doing something that's impossible.

But it's extremely rare for there to be a CG scene

It almost never happens.

Almost every time you see them online at the puppeteer, there was a crew of six puppeteers who had to be in their, like, ninja outfits, hiding in various places, some of them underneath the set, some of them up in the ceiling, some of them hanging from wires, like, doing all this stuff.

Parts of Rocky were remote-controlled with very advanced servos and stuff like that.

It was all amazing.

We called them the Rocketeers.
