I'm having the same problems today that I had when I first started, saying that outrageous adult animation works.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of people have helped me along the way. But you know the biggest thing for me was when computer animation came along.
I love animation, I really do, but I don't do it for the children.
I tried to find a solution to the problem that I had, tried to find a way to start playing better.
The thing that I enjoy about animation is the fact that it is unbridled, and there are no boundaries; when you are in the room, you don't have to focus on your clothing, make-up, hair, your choreography or your blocking; you really do have total freedom.
It just seems like the whole, overall animation world is trying to go where maybe animation doesn't belong.
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.
Very few people have made the transition from animation to live-action; I'm certainly not one.
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.
Nothing's occurring in animation - you manufacture everything.
Animation has completely changed, and I've always been a big fan.
