Screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio talk to Coming Soon about their involvement in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Having written Aladdin, The Road to El Dorado, Shrek and Treasure Planet, the duo likewise chats about animation. "One of the things about animation that we really enjoyed is that it really is so story-driven in a way that live action movies aren't," says Rossio. "Live action movies a lot of times you can have the actor, simply seeing that person on screen being charming, can carry a lot of the film, but with animated films, it's all focused on the story."
