...Segal. Of 85 shooting days on the sequel, about 75 required Murphy to play a Klump. (To give Murphy's face time off from adhesives, a Klump-free day was scheduled each Wednesday.) It took an average of four hours to sculpt Murphy into a Klump--via foam-rubber facial appliances that had to be replaced each day and kept consistent through months of filming--then hours more for the end-of-day Klump-ectomy. "The edges are so thin and the glue is so strong, the pieces get destroyed in the process," says Baker. "So if Eddie worked...
...result of all this jiggery-pokery? It's not quite indistinguishable from reality--as with the dinosaurs and toys, there's a little too much artful puppetry in the actors' facial movements. And as the animators admit, CG lighting is still too harsh, too unnatural to reflect properly in eyes and on skin. But these are nitpicks. Fantasy isn't that far off the real thing.

...potential silliness, as sporadically happens to Karoun Demirjian '03 in playing the village lunatic, Mad Margaret (although it seems to have more to do with the nature of her part than her actual performance). Kim's vibrancy is not to be missed; each of her humorous and irreverent facial expressions enhances her performance and draws the audience in to her plight as the one-time fiance of the now dead Sir Roderic Murgatroyd (Robert Hughes '01). Hannah is a feisty woman and Kim is wonderfully cast; it is with much relish and glee that she pulls a knife (from...
