We had cast most of it, and as we were looking at it with Courtenay Valenti, who’s the president of Warner Bros., and Allison Abbate, who’s the head of WAG, we started talking about what really elevates animated movies. Kirkpatrick confirmed that the film wasn’t initially designed as a musical: “Here’s what happened. “I can distinctly remember saying to me, ‘There might be some music, but we don’t think you’re going to sing.’” The filmmaker told Tatum something similar: “He said, ‘Well, maybe you sing the first sentence, and then the whole village. “It was a shock to quite a few of us,” added Corden. “It was a shock to me,” Tatum told us during a Facebook Live interview, where he was joined by co-stars Corden, Yara Shahidi, Danny DeVito, and Common, along with director Karey Kirkpatrick (watch in full above). They didn’t know they were making an animated musical comedy, though.
