I hope you watch it! This panel was fun but a little confusing at first because they didn&#8217;t tell us who would be there, and they put up a photo of the cast right beforehand, which made me think that the cast would all be on the panel. However, most of them weren&#8217;t, so that was also disappointing. I was the one asking the first question here, and I was using my tablet, which sometimes only shows part of the panel on the screen if it&#8217;s a large group, so that&#8217;s why I asked if there were more.\u00a0 Also, one of the panel members has said some controversial remarks since this panel occurred.\u00a0 I hope that no one foregoes watching the special because of her. She plays a very minor role, and the special is very good. It&#8217;s based on a book, or series of books, and a new one is coming out, so it has that product tie-in, along with the toys they mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the transcript of the

\u201cReindeer in Here.\u201d\u00a0 Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>(Clip played.)<\/p>\n<p>KATE FISHER:\u00a0 Hi, everybody.\u00a0 I&#8217;m Kate Fisher.\u00a0 On behalf of myself and my counterpart, Victoria Saavedra, we&#8217;d like to welcome you to the \u201cReindeer in Here\u201d panel.\u00a0 We&#8217;re so excited to share a sneak peek today of our new animated holiday entry, a heartwarming tale featuring Blizzard or Blizz, a young reindeer living at the North Pole who bands together with his unique group of friends to save the future of Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>The animation and story line are truly unique, and the special is a wonderful addition to our holiday slate.\u00a0 The special premieres Tuesday, November 29th, on CBS and will stream live\u00a0and on demand on Paramount+.<\/p>\n<p>Now, please welcome our panelists, star Candace Cameron Bure, executive\u00a0producer and creator Adam Reed, and executive producer and director Lino DiSalvo.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll turn it over to Adam first for some opening remarks and a sneak peek at a scene from the special before taking your questions.\u00a0 Over to you, Adam.<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 Hey, everybody.\u00a0 Thanks for having us.\u00a0 We&#8217;re super thrilled to be here.\u00a0 You know, just a little quick back story.\u00a0 When I sat down six years ago to write this book, it was out of a need for my own family that I couldn&#8217;t find a positive Christmas tradition that also didn&#8217;t stress me out as a parent.\u00a0 And so I really kind of sat down and tried to write a story that I felt would be unique and different and you would fall in love with the characters at the most magical time of year and hopefully someday become a Christmas classic.<\/p>\n<p>And when I sat down with my illustrator and we were looking at different reindeers, because, of course, reindeer are the most magical thing outside of Santa, there was one reindeer that we focused on specifically, and that one reindeer\u00a0had one antler smaller than the other.\u00a0 And that is the hero of our story, Blizzard or Blizz.\u00a0 And the reason is because he&#8217;s a different reindeer.\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 And every child at some point in their life feels different, because being different is normal, and our film celebrates the uniqueness of every child and of course shows that Christmas wishes really do come true.<\/p>\n<p>And I will tell you my Christmas wish has come true because I know we announced our amazing\u00a0\u2011\u2011 our amazing cast this morning.\u00a0 I&#8217;m so thrilled to have Adam Devine, Henry Winkler, Candace Cameron Bure, Jo Koy, Donald Faison, Melissa Villase\u00f1or, and of course Jim Gaffigan as Santa.\u00a0 So we are so thrilled to be here.<\/p>\n<p>And just to toss to the clip, you&#8217;re going to see a little moment here that has almost all of our main characters in it.\u00a0 It has a little bit of funny, a little bit of emotion, and a lot of heart.\u00a0 And we hope you enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>(Clip played.)<\/p>\n<p>KATE FISHER:\u00a0 We&#8217;re so thrilled to start taking your questions.\u00a0 As a reminder, if you have a question, please raise your hand in the chat feature and unmute yourself.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hey.\u00a0 Thanks for talking to us today.\u00a0 Is\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I can only see four of you on the screen.\u00a0 Is everybody else there?\u00a0 Or is it just the four of you?<\/p>\n<p>KATE FISHER:\u00a0 Just the four of us for this panel.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Oh, okay.\u00a0 I was confused.\u00a0 Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>So how long did it take to make this special?\u00a0 I really enjoyed it, by the way.\u00a0 I thought it was very cute and clever.\u00a0 How long did it take to make?\u00a0 And how long did it take for the actors to work on their voices?<\/p>\n<p>LINO DISALVO:\u00a0 Adam, you&#8217;re muted.<\/p>\n<p>KATE FISHER:\u00a0 Adam, you&#8217;re still muted.\u00a0 I should remind the panelists\u00a0\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 Apologies.\u00a0 Sorry, guys. \u00a0You know, how long did it take us to make and how long should we have had to make, two different things.\u00a0 Lino, over to you on this one.<\/p>\n<p>LINO DISALVO:\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 So we did this in about 13 months.\u00a0 And, you know, you always wish you had a little bit more time, but 13 months.\u00a0 And we had actors\u00a0\u2011\u2011 well, the thing is, is that going back and forth in total, from casting and finding just the right actors, I would say three\u00a0\u2011\u2011 three weeks, four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 And by the way\u00a0\u2011\u2011 and Candace can speak to this.\u00a0 You know, typically, before COVID times, we would be in the VO booth with all of our actors working with them.\u00a0 And of course, you know, during COVID times, we can&#8217;t do that. \u00a0So everything was recorded remotely.\u00a0 Candace, do you want to talk about that a second?<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Oh, sure.\u00a0 Well, we did, I mean, lots of work on the computer over Zoom first, but then went into the recording booth solo.\u00a0 And you guys were all on monitors in the booth with me.\u00a0 And it was really only a day, day and a half, maybe, of working on that.\u00a0 So much fun.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"

months.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Cool.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>LINO DISALVO:\u00a0 You&#8217;re welcome.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 For Adam, I can&#8217;t help noticing that this is the exact opposite of Archer in so many ways.\u00a0 I mean, Archer just ripples with cynicism, and this is the precise opposite.\u00a0 So what was it like to go from one to the other?\u00a0 And which one of those two is really you?<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 Well, here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll tell you.\u00a0 I&#8217;m actually not the Adam Reed that created Archer.\u00a0 That is a different Adam Reed, and that Adam Reed and I always get confused.\u00a0 He gets my e\u2011mails; he gets\u00a0\u2011\u2011 and I get his e\u2011mails.\u00a0 So very, very different.\u00a0 So luckily, to answer your question, this is my only baby.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 And let me ask you, what&#8217;s it like for so often people to assume you&#8217;re the other Adam Reed?\u00a0 Do you enjoy that or is it weird?<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 No, look, we were at the same agency for a long time, and we&#8217;ve never actually met.\u00a0 So, you know, it&#8217;s just kind of funny.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Okay, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi.\u00a0 Question for Lino.\u00a0 Obviously you&#8217;ve been a head of animation\u00a0before this, but I believe this is your first time as director.\u00a0 I was curious to know how different that responsibility has been for you being that you used to lead a team of just animators and now you&#8217;re managing the whole pipeline.<\/p>\n<p>LINO DISALVO:\u00a0 Yeah.\u00a0 I love it.\u00a0 I mean, especially that\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I think when you find a script that speaks to you and feels honest to you and you can relate to the characters, it&#8217;s really enjoyable.\u00a0 It&#8217;s wonderful.\u00a0 I mean, you know, the team that I was leading at Disney was\u00a0\u2011\u2011 you know, I would oversee a couple hundred people, and I think the crew on our show was less than 200 people.\u00a0 So, listen, I loved it.\u00a0 Like, as an animator becoming a director and working on a holiday movie, dude, I&#8217;m thrilled.\u00a0 I loved it.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>LINO DISALVO:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi.\u00a0 Thanks, Kate.\u00a0 Hi, everyone.\u00a0 Candace, you&#8217;ve obviously got a lot going on this holiday season, like a lot.\u00a0 And you&#8217;re very associated with another network these days.\u00a0 Do you have a special\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I don&#8217;t know if the word is &#8220;out&#8221; or &#8220;out clause&#8221; or whatever\u00a0\u2011\u2011 in your deal with them that if something like this comes up that&#8217;s animation only, it&#8217;s okay for you to do it for another firm?\u00a0 And also, did this fit in comfortably\u00a0with everything else that you&#8217;ve got going for this holiday season?<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 So to answer your question, yes.\u00a0 Obviously I&#8217;m in the project, so I was\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I was able to do it.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s been a huge dream of mine for a very long time to be in something animated that&#8217;s very special.\u00a0 And it was so fitting to\u00a0\u2011\u2011 for my first animated movie to be in a Christmas one.\u00a0 So that was very exciting for me.\u00a0 And I&#8217;m forgetting the second part of your question.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 I&#8217;m sorry.\u00a0 The &#8220;yes&#8221; part was to that you have a special out clause with the other network in terms of doing something with animation?\u00a0 Was that what the &#8220;yes&#8221; was for?\u00a0 I&#8217;m sorry.\u00a0 Was that\u00a0\u2011\u2011 there were two questions.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sorry.\u00a0 The &#8220;yes&#8221; that you gave was to the question about\u00a0\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Oh, that, yes, I was able to do this project.\u00a0 And, yep.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 And then the other question was\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I guess the &#8220;yes&#8221; takes care of both of those.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Okay.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 We&#8217;re good.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 And can I say one thing that is super important?\u00a0 When we started concepting this movie and how it was going to be, the first person we had in mind was Candace.\u00a0 She is obviously the queen of Christmas and just an amazing human being.\u00a0 And so when we created the roles, we\u00a0\u2011\u2011 you know, she literally was the first person we thought of.\u00a0 And she is so incredible at this role, there is even a little Pinky plush that\u00a0\u2011\u2011<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Oh, I have her.<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED: \u00a0\u2011\u2011 everyone is going to love.\u00a0 That is her character and as amazing as she is.<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Adam, thank you.\u00a0 That was so sweet.\u00a0 I have the little Pinky plush right here.\u00a0 All my nieces are going to get this.\u00a0 And godchildren.<\/p>\n<p>And, yes, I\u00a0\u2011\u2011 you know, I did remember the second part of your question, if this movie was fitting into all of the other things that I&#8217;m doing.\u00a0 And the answer to that is yes.\u00a0 This movie is such a beautiful story that&#8217;s so heartwarming and so encouraging to kids to celebrate our uniqueness, and I just\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I absolutely love it as a mom first and what the message sends.\u00a0 And then of course as an actress, it was just delightful to be in.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Hi, everyone.\u00a0 Thanks so much.\u00a0 I love the special.\u00a0 My two\u2011year\u2011old daughter has a little reindeer in here.\u00a0 Her name is Ida.<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 Oh, I love that.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 And, yeah, we&#8217;ve had her since last year.\u00a0 So she was\u00a0home sick yesterday, so she actually watched the screener with me, and then all day today, she wants to watch the Ida movie.\u00a0 So I really\u00a0\u2011\u2011 it was really great.<\/p>\n<p>But I was just wondering, did you\u00a0\u2011\u2011 because the book is done in, like, obviously a different animation style than the show.\u00a0 Were other animation styles considered when you did the special?<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 Well, I want\u00a0to toss that to Lino in a second.\u00a0 The only thing I want to say is you will see very quickly this year there&#8217;s a new vision of the book and plush set.\u00a0 So the art is elevated.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a completely new and fresh look.\u00a0 And it was very important that we not only elevate it, but we kept it classic.\u00a0 And when Lino and I first started talking, we wanted to have\u00a0\u2011\u2011 look, for us, we want this to be a Christmas classic, right?\u00a0 To outlive us all, like Rudolph.\u00a0 So for us, we wanted something that was contemporary but also had classical feels to it and felt hand\u2011painted.\u00a0 And I got to give Lino all the credit for that.\u00a0 He was the one that said, &#8220;Look, it&#8217;s CG\u2011looking, but we&#8217;re going to hand\u2011paint all these elements.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lino, can you give some context to that?<\/p>\n<p>LINO DISALVO:\u00a0 Yeah, yeah, yeah.\u00a0 I wanted to capture the charm of the illustrations from the new book that&#8217;s coming out.\u00a0 So, you know, a lot of times in CG, you&#8217;ll put this default fur on a character, and it&#8217;s very challenging to art\u2011direct the silhouette of the characters.\u00a0 The two things that&#8217;s very common and which makes illustration so appealing is when you handcraft and suggest fur in silhouette, you do the little drawings of a tuft of fur on the elbow.<\/p>\n<p>So you&#8217;ll see\u00a0\u2011\u2011 when you watch Blizz, you&#8217;ll notice that he has these little hero elements on him that really stand out and are really handcrafted.\u00a0 And the other is a lot of the times, you know, when two textures meet on a CG character, they kind of blend together.\u00a0 And I wanted to celebrate, again, what the illustration\u00a0\u2011\u2011 what illustration artists would do, which is maybe use a dry blush to blend in the textures.\u00a0 So when you look at Blizz again, if you look at his nose, like at the top of his nose, there&#8217;s a dry brush stroke there.<\/p>\n<p>And, yeah, I really love the idea that the movie is handcrafted and very high quality.\u00a0 We take pride in that.<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 And by the way, if you want to be mom of the year, have Ida bring a special new gift, there is\u00a0\u2011\u2011 we have \u201cReindeer in Here\u201d PJs this year and blankets.\u00a0 Yeah, at Target.\u00a0 So they just\u00a0\u2011\u2011 they just launched and they&#8217;re pretty awesome.\u00a0 So maybe an early little Thanksgiving gift from Ida.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Very cool.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Certainly.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a question for Candace.\u00a0 I&#8217;m wondering how you\u00a0\u2011\u2011 you found the voice.\u00a0 I mean, it&#8217;s not that very different from your own voice, but, yet, it does have a distinctness to it.\u00a0 How did you find the voice for the character?<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Well, that was\u00a0\u2011\u2011 that was Lino.\u00a0 Really, I didn&#8217;t know if I was\u00a0\u2011\u2011 if they even wanted me to try a different kind of voice.\u00a0 And we worked on that, and they initially were like, &#8220;No, we just\u00a0\u2011\u2011 we really want your voice.&#8221;\u00a0 I think my voice is distinctive.\u00a0 I hear a lot from people on the street that they&#8217;re not sure if it&#8217;s me when they see me, but as soon as they hear my voice, they instantly know that it&#8217;s me.\u00a0 And so they really did want my voice.\u00a0 So it was just really working on the delivery of the lines and the little nuances of how we wanted her to be.<\/p>\n<p>And I feel like\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I feel like Pinky, she&#8217;s that\u00a0\u2011\u2011 she&#8217;s that friend that tells it straight, but she has a little bit of a motherly quality to her, or that big sister quality, that she&#8217;s still gentle in speaking the truth.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Well, it&#8217;s a charming character.<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>KATE FISHER:\u00a0 We have another question actually for Adam.\u00a0 Adam, what has been your favorite part about bringing the book to life?<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 Oh, my gosh.\u00a0 That&#8217;s a great question.\u00a0 Truly, that we get the opportunity to\u00a0\u2011\u2011 for everybody in the world to see this.\u00a0 For every child at the most magical time of year to celebrate their uniqueness and their differences, to me, is the most important thing.\u00a0 And certainly my Christmas wish, the only thing I ever wished for was that\u00a0\u2011\u2011 at some point in every child&#8217;s life, they feel different, and to celebrate those uniquenesses at the most magical time of year is all I could wish for, and the fact that this is happening is just all still surreal.<\/p>\n<p>KATE FISHER:\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 And a question actually for Candace.\u00a0 What was one of the defining reasons you agreed to be part of the animated movie?<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Well, one of my\u00a0\u2011\u2011 my longtime friends\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I have a very close friendship with Jonathan Koch, who&#8217;s a part of this movie.\u00a0 And then meeting with Adam.\u00a0 They\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I talked to both of them, and I was very excited once I heard about the project.\u00a0 But after I read the script, I was like, &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m in.\u00a0 Please.\u00a0 Anything.\u00a0 Like, anything that I can do, I would love to be a part of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 Candace, I&#8217;m just curious.\u00a0 We know you so well for all these holiday projects.\u00a0 Has this been a case of you just wanting to do that because you love Christmas so much?\u00a0 Or do you find that when people start talking about Christmas projects, they think of you automatically?\u00a0 And is there a point where you ever went, &#8220;Gosh, I&#8217;d just like to do an Arbor Day movie&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p>(Laughter.)<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Christmas truly is my favorite holiday of the year.\u00a0 I&#8217;m a woman of faith, so there&#8217;s no bigger holiday than to celebrate Christmas.\u00a0 I love that I&#8217;ve become synonymous with Christmas because of the movies that I&#8217;ve done over the past 15 years.\u00a0 So it&#8217;s a great joy for me.<\/p>\n<p>But, again, I&#8217;ve dreamed of being a part of a classic animated movie for a very long time.\u00a0 And when I was\u00a0\u2011\u2011 was offered and pitched this project, it was just, I mean, even more magical for the fact that it was Christmas and it&#8217;s for children.\u00a0 I\u00a0\u2011\u2011 you know, I&#8217;m a mom of three and I&#8217;ve written several children&#8217;s books myself.<\/p>\n<p>So all\u00a0\u2011\u2011 just the culmination of everything was a no\u2011brainer and\u00a0\u2011\u2011 and just a delight to be a part of.\u00a0 So I&#8217;m\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I&#8217;m happy\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I&#8217;m happy to be, you know, a part of people&#8217;s Christmas traditions hopefully for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>QUESTION:\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 For Candace, when you do a regular holiday film, you&#8217;re dressed up in the holiday outfits and your makeup, and you&#8217;ve got the surroundings of Christmas.\u00a0 How did you get yourself into the holiday spirit for doing this when it&#8217;s\u00a0\u2011\u2011 it wasn&#8217;t all decorated\u00a0\u2011\u2011 set wasn&#8217;t decorated?<\/p>\n<p>CANDACE CAMERON BURE:\u00a0 Oh, well, this was so exciting for me.\u00a0 I remember leaving the booth where\u00a0\u2011\u2011 after recording the voices, and I was just like on the biggest high from recording these.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t think I need to have the surroundings of Christmas to feel like I&#8217;m in the Christmas spirit.\u00a0 I feel like I&#8217;m in Christmas 24\/7 because I&#8217;m constantly\u00a0\u2011\u2011 you know, 365 days a year, because I&#8217;m always reading Christmas scripts and always developing the next Christmas movies, whether I&#8217;m starring in them or producing them.<\/p>\n<p>But it was\u00a0\u2011\u2011 animation is just a whole different ball game and very new for me.\u00a0 So to be able to voice a character, to see some images on a screen, but then work with such an incredible director as Lino who really just pulled all different kinds of just different performances out of me through the character was so incredibly exciting.\u00a0 And I think that was\u00a0\u2011\u2011 that&#8217;s a challenge as an actor when you are in front of the camera and you&#8217;re not used to doing things off camera.\u00a0 Everything about your voice has to change because people don&#8217;t get to see your facial expressions.\u00a0 They don&#8217;t get to see your hand movements.\u00a0 And I&#8217;m a big\u00a0\u2011\u2011 I move.\u00a0 I had to move around that room.\u00a0 I had to move around the booth and really perform it as an actor.\u00a0 But you have to make sure that it all carries through your voice and you can&#8217;t rely on your body.<\/p>\n<p>KATE FISHER:\u00a0 Thank you so much.\u00a0 I&#8217;m just going to ask Adam to maybe make a few final remarks to close our panel.<\/p>\n<p>ADAM REED:\u00a0 Sure.\u00a0 Look, Candace and Lino and everybody at CBS, thank you.\u00a0 Look, this movie and the \u201cReindeer in Here\u201d tradition is really to celebrate the uniqueness of every child and show that Christmas wishes really do come true, not only at the most magical time of year, but year\u2011round.\u00a0 And this movie, we have created not only to be a Christmas classic that I hope outlives us all, but also is meant for the whole family.\u00a0 This is not just for children.\u00a0 It is funny.\u00a0 It works for adults.\u00a0 It works for children.\u00a0 You can really sit down with your entire family.\u00a0 And the adults will pick up on things that children don&#8217;t, and maybe vice versa.\u00a0 But we really hope you enjoy.\u00a0 And thank you, everybody.\u00a0 I&#8217;d encourage you to watch the whole film.\u00a0 And thanks for having us.\u00a0 We&#8217;re excited to share this tradition with the world.<\/p>\n<p>KATE FISHER:\u00a0 Thank you so much to our panelists and journalists for participating in our \u201cReindeer in Here\u201d panel.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFO: <a
