5 Questions for Elijah Wood
1Describe Mumble.
A Mumble is born without the ability to sing. But he has this incredible ability to dance. He has a deep sense of individuality despite others thinking that he doesn't belong. I think that sends a great message.
2You both have blue eyes. Do you and Mumble have any other similarities?
A I can relate to his sense of self, and his curiosity.
3 Did you like playing an awful singer?
A It was really fun. They took my singing voice that I was portraying as really bad and made it even more unlistenable.
4 Did you like working with Robin Williams?
A It was amazing. To not know what was going to come out of his mouth was always exciting and hilarious.
5 Who is the better dancer, you or Mumble?
A Mumble is portrayed by [tap dancer] Savion Glover, so I would say that Mumble is a much better dancer. Savion Glover is an absolute genius.
