Drymon dirige Bob Esponja: "Espero que sirva para afrontar los problemas con una sonrisa"

Yeah, I'm enjoying Malaga a lot.

The food, it's beautiful.

I didn't know what to expect, but it's beautiful and super fun.

Everybody's very nice.

Yeah, I love it.

And, well, about the movie.

How can you still find new plots for SpongeBob after more than two decades? I think Spongebob is you know there's those stories about a kid who's trying to fit in who's trying to find his place in the world I think those are you know there's many versions of that Spongebob is such a physical character that it just almost seems endless the things we can do with him visually so I haven't had any I had no problem coming back and working with him after so long I think he's he still feels fresh to me and do you feel pressure to place the punt? well I think I always feel some pressure to make something good and make something people enjoy I think we've felt that pressure back when we were working on the show way back when but it was kind of Internal, you know, there's a certain amount of pride.

You want to do your best and you want people to laugh.

We do a lot of testing, even just showing it to people I work with and, you know, in the production crew just like I'm always kind of keep my eye on people are they laughing here are they not laughing here so I'm always looking for that audience reaction to see it is this is Is this working or not? And, well, yesterday, a little bit.

The real subrogate.

We've seen a SpongeBob in the middle of fights and explosions and such.

Can we consider him a good example for kids? Well, I think SpongeBob's doing the best he can in any situation he's in.

Hopefully, people don't find themselves in fights and explosions, but I think it kind of represents the troubles people have, the problems, they're always finding conflict in life and things working against you.

Hopefully it kind of gives an example of how you can face them with a smile, you can face them with a positive attitude.

I think that's always the fun thing of SpongeBob, is he winds up getting through life with being an optimist.

And also from your perspective, personal animator, Do you think that we respect animation more as a genre nowadays, or is this still a kid's thing? Well, I think animation seems to work mainly historically for families and for younger people.

I think it could be for anybody.

I think we see families and adults will go see animated movies.

And so I think there's definitely a certain amount of respect that I think people have for it.

I don't feel that it's a lesser medium for sure.

And while you've been entitled to do the SpongeBob for 20 years, how have you seen this change in the animation industry? How do you see the animation industry nowadays? Well, entertainment in general, it changes all the time.

There's always new mediums.

There's new ways, you know, now it's streaming and the Internet.

Like, we didn't have any of that when I started.

but it's just different ways to deliver content to the audience.

I don't know that it changes the content itself.

I think people still want to be entertained.

They want to be excited.

They want to laugh or they want to be thrilled or whatever kind of genre you like.

I think for the work I do is comedy.

I think however you deliver it is how the audience wants to take it, but they still want the material to be funny.

And I wonder if I can ask you about your opinion about the challenges of the industry, by example, artificial intelligence and things like those? Well, you know, luckily I haven't had any real negative experiences that way.

You know, being on the creative side, I don't really have any control of, you know, the business or how, you know, how people, how things are delivered or done.

you know for me I feel lucky that I'm still I'm able to work and and people you know will hire me for my sense of humor for for the for what I can do for my experience I think it's harder for younger people to come in you know there's not as maybe much work as there used to be hopefully you know it gets busier as time goes on I've already I know a lot of studios in town are building building up and doing more work so I think that's good news for the industry I think SpongeBob SquarePants will be going on for many years long after I'm gone long after we're all gone I think SpongeBob will keep going I think he's a character that people seem to really latch onto and there's a lot of younger people that I'm working with that worked on the show that are very funny and will definitely be carrying it on after I'm long gone.
