Animation is the one type of movie that really does play for the entire audience. Our challenge is to make stories that connect for kids and adults.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.
If you're sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that's entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it's the storytelling. That's why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story.
People who get into animation tend to be kids. We don't have to grow up. But also, animators are great observers, and there's this childlike wonder and interest in the world, the observation of little things that happen in life.
Animation is a fascinating area from an acting point of view because it's not really like anything else because you are only providing a portion of the performance. That's very inspiring and it forces you to do things in a different way - to tell stories through your voice.
I love animation, I really do, but I don't do it for the children.
I'm in love with kid's stories and animation.
I think animation is like running a marathon, and making a movie is like a 100 meter sprint. The question is: are you a marathon man or are you a sprinter? I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily.
I'm interested in animation. I actually feel like I've learned so much about the process how to make an animated movie.
What I love most about animation is, it's a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.
Doing an animation is nothing like anything you could ever experience. You get to be a kid again and just play dress up in a movie studio.
