In computer animation, every detail has to be thought out, designed, modeled, shaded, placed and lit. The more you add, the more computer memory you need.

Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist.
As computers have become more powerful, computer graphics have advanced to the point where it's possible to create photo-realistic images. The bottleneck wasn't, 'How do we make pixels prettier?' It was, 'How do we engage with them more?'
The great thing about the animation process is that is goes from, I write the lines, it goes to the actors, the actors bring a whole world to that, they bring the characters to life, then it goes to the animators, then it goes to the editor who cuts it together, and then you screen it and it goes back through the system again.
Computer animation is one way to liberate people from their circumstantial gravity, and it is one way to give them mental freedom.
If you take a regular animated film, that's being done by animators on computers, so the filmmaking is a fairly technical process.
The days when you needed amazing Silicon Graphics machines to run animation software are gone now.
Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.
Animation translates well to a small screen. When you look at Walt Disney or Chuck Jones - you know, Bugs Bunny - there really isn't any difference if you watch on a very big screen or a computer screen.
Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.
You've got to be able to make animation for much less... Less is not the studio's way.
