So I was thinking, what if the meat induces a hallucination for them?
But it was a Universal Music staffer who suggested “We Go Together” fromGreaseon a whim.
“It just felt like it fit perfectly, truly,” says Renaud.
We did a little bit of a Busby Berkeley thing there, even an Esther Williams thing.
It’s more than just a silly highlight scene, though.
Renaud says the nature of the non sequitur was a formative one for the rest of the film.
“It’s the kind of scene people either love or think, what the heck was that?
I like to think the ‘I love it’ outweighs the ‘what the heck was that?’
Moreover, it’s one of the scenes that’s stayed in the movie since its inception.
“It’s played well since we’ve had it.
A lot of these have changed around, but it’s been in the movie a long time.
“That’s the fun part of animation,” laughs Renaud.
“you’re free to do that and hopefully get away with it.”
