Yes! This visually exciting option not only propels the action forward, it also adds to the mystical nature of the Statuary Garden, the Great Hall and Outworld. To make it work, you would shoot actors in front of a Greenscreen and then you could replace the green background with anything you want. In this case it'll be the door to the Great Hall. Thanks to special effects artists, the door doesn't simply open, it sort of falls apart in a puzzle like manner - very cool!
The next step is to devise a way to carry the actors through the portal and into another world. The fantastic voyage is again achieved with a lot help from the computer. Digitally, filmmakers constructed a mysterious tunnel filled with "gelatinous goo." Once caught in its gummy grasp, our heroes are swept through the tunnel, and into the vast wasteland known as the Outworld.
