How would you say having chemistry as long-time collaborators helped with stepping into these different characters?

But its really easy when its Eric.
Its because I do really respect his talent level and his dedication to these characters.
But, we have great chemistry because were both a little lunatic.

hey dont use that language around me.
Were both like Whatever, lets bring the funny.
So it only makes sense that I am working with someone like her.

Milo:Could you die from the way Daffy is back?
Thats the Daffy that I remember seeing.You know, when they hand him the hammer.
I was like, Shut up!
Bauza:[Playful Daffy voice] When you think of aloof, think of Eric Bauza!
Someone who doesnt know what hes doing.
But yeah, again, its these characters that you know.
But then towards the end it it all comes together.
And I think its a beautiful story.
Milo:Friendship always wins out.
io9: So would you say Pete really did let you run free with creating these characters?
Milo:When I got the audition, I did look back, Sabina.
The feedback came back from [Warner Bros. You guys have a shorthand.
We get the sense of humor, is what Im saying.
Sometimes gender gets pushed onto women.
io9: I definitely agree.
Bauza:Well, you know theres a certain manic-ness to [performing].
I think AI is good to a point, technology will always be there, itll always advance.
You know, after all, AI is just collecting information from what weve already done, right?
Thats when the wheels fall off AI, when it needs to emote.
Milo:There was a commercial.
and I called it and said, All three of these are AI because its the coldest.
Its not how people move.
[I think to myself], I dont want you to get better.
I want you to go away and just help us medically.
Thats what I would really like.
Its just help [on] medical [issues]figure out how we can feed people.
io9: The Looney Tunes in particular, especially across mediums and across generations are so timeless.
I call them the Lords of Memery, because the younger generations will immediately recognize the Tunes in memes.
How do you think modern audiences will find their way toThe Day The Earth Blew Upthanks to that?
Theyre very well designed, but theres some things in here that Ive never seen in any other cartoons.
io9: The Farmer John stuff!
Milo:Oh yeah!
To me thats just genius like, who thought of that?
Thats a whole genre, thats a whole thing, and I dig it, and I get it.
But I would love to see much more of this.
Not skewed for an age group, but for a sense of humor.
These are different genres within the medium, and they should all be able to coexist!
The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movieopens this Friday.
