SKELETONS!

What’s great about the skeletons in this film is that they’re not scary characters; they’re people from our past. We want them to be funny and kind of crazy in how they move, but at the end of the day, we want them to be relatable as people we loved, as family members who’ve passed on. And that gives the challenge of animating them a layer of depth that we’ve really, really loved. We want people to see these characters and laugh, but at the same time say, aw, that was my grandma, or my sister, or my brother.

We wanted the skeletons’ faces to be expressive, but still feel like bone, so we decided that we would shape the eye sockets, but try to keep the nose, cheekbones and silhouette of the skull fairly rigid. Our biggest liberty, from a design point of view, was giving the skeletons “lips”—we needed to be able to shape the mouth so that the characters could talk and emote with a full range of expression. To remind the viewer that it’s a hard surface, and to give the indication of the traditional skeleton mouth shape, we tried to keep the lines of the mouth a little wider, a little more graphic and angular.
