Where to watch

How this world was built

The sheets that sit on the table before a show exists: characters turned from every side, mouth by mouth, pose by pose.

LayoutThe scene starts in flat color: each tone separates a depth plane and tells the camera where to look.
LineThe final drawing, still colorless, with light and shadow already solved in grayscale.
ColorThe same shot on screen, with the island palette and the light that closes the scene.
Expression sheetJack at his squash and stretch extremes. Red pencil rough, clean line and final color share the same sheet.
Character bibleDesmond's page: who he is and what makes him funny, written down before it became a drawing.
Pose sheetRunning, falling, arguing with Leonard, cooking. The key poses the team animates from.
Silhouette studyFour versions of the Tiki tested in black, because good design reads by its shadow alone.
Color variationsJack already locked on the left and Leonard in several wardrobe combinations, until the one that made it to screen.
The animation teamThe animation team's first day on the film, each desk with its own shot and a character already standing on screen.
The art teamPre-production: this is where the film's islands, dishes and kitchens get drawn before a single animated shot exists.
The castThe film's full cast together, from Jack and Leonard to their rivals in the competition.
