Instead, they were going to try and have Victor tell them how he brought back Sparky only for Mr Whiskers to run inside and have them follow in. Why was this changed in the final film?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382142482642701364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678481695080782358.post-70882239764971023722016-05-13T01:21:05.490-07:002016-05-13T01:21:05.490-07:00There was more of the invisible fish, I don't ...There was more of the invisible fish, I don't remember what the scene was about though.

Once it was decided that he should survive, there was need for a post credit scene. Aside from that I don't remember there being much talk of one.Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179868465418668271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678481695080782358.post-31390729756752056882016-05-03T21:10:00.059-07:002016-05-03T21:10:00.059-07:00Didn't you also had a post credit scene planne...Didn't you also had a post credit scene planned?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382142482642701364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678481695080782358.post-36328427086136318032016-05-01T19:16:30.132-07:002016-05-01T19:16:30.132-07:00Hi Krista,

The film was getting bogged down in new faces, so we decided to cut to the chase: who are the main characters, what is the main conflict or dilemma they face. Mr. Rzykruski has a more important role in forming Victor's plans, Weird girl's role is more important after Sparky was brought back to life, so we placed the introductions where they would have more immediate impact.Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179868465418668271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678481695080782358.post-17230614462701223032016-05-01T18:41:56.945-07:002016-05-01T18:41:56.945-07:00I also remember that the moment where Weird Girl i...I also remember that the moment where Weird Girl is talking to Victor occurred before the introduction of Mr. Rzykruski in the earlier version.

Often these types of decisions are made in order to streamline the story, in this case I would guess it was so that we could spend more time with Victor and Sparky. Also, we really liked that Edgar sought the approval of Toshiaki and the other kids, and is swayed into betraying Victors trust. I think it made Edgar a much more three dimensional character.Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179868465418668271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678481695080782358.post-6197315346851609592016-04-26T09:57:24.862-07:002016-04-26T09:57:24.862-07:00Didn't it say in the original script that Vict...Didn't it say in the original script that Victor let Edgar be his partner for the science fair?
