@Kiku919 жыл бұрын
I have to say, I've seen animal trainers do a lot with monkeys and apes in movies. It may be more challenging on stage, but possible, and even then I don't think they could get the same amount of comical effect that Abu had in the film. They said that these human friends were originally an idea in the film. They were probably cut out to shorten and simplify the film. Plus everyone knows how kids love animal sidekicks. Plays are typically much longer than 90 minute films so they do have to expand the story, and putting in these other characters is one good way to do it. I really, really wanna see this but I don't see myself getting there anytime soon.
