Mike [Mitchell] brought me on as co-director, and eventually we ended up sharing a brain. It was overwhelming initially when I was working with departments I hadn't had contact with before.

I've always loved that film ['The Three Caballeros'], and we were looking for a way to apply it to our own work, and 'Trolls' was it - psychedelic, musical and kinetic insanity.

Since we've done that type of work [ voiceover], we know how isolating it can be, and we wanted to make the actors more comfortable.

The world is in such a place of social unrest and there's so much violence.

We actually talked about Adam Sandler during the creation of 'Trolls,' because he does know how to time jokes.

I had to sit in front of all these people, and act like I knew what I was doing. I faked my way through it pretty well.

Sometimes actors come in, you record them, and they do their role.
