There was a time when watching a cartoon was a nurturing experience. You would watch a Warner Bros. cartoon, and at the end of it you could probably win 'Jeopardy.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cartooning was a good fit for me. And yet now, years later, I almost never think about it.
I'm a huge fan of Warner Brothers cartoons. I would spend many hours alone after school watching Daffy Duck. I think Daffy Duck is one of the great comedic villains.
It's not really a guilty pleasure, but I love old cartoons. I could watch Bugs Bunny and Tweety all day long.
I don't see why it's such a stretch for distributors, buyers, and studios to put cartoon characters into adult situations on film.
Walt Disney was a master of the human psychology. His sense of timing, sense of speed. In a sense, those cartoons are like Rorschach tests.
This was more of a cartoonish thing for me and it kind of took me back to SCTV, in a way, where the characters are just a little broader and you can have that kind of fun going a little over the edge.
As soon as I found out how compartmentalized the industry was, I realized, Well, no wonder the cartoons are so bad.
There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great.
I've never really thought about competing with cartoons. If it ever gets to that point, then just shoot me.
Cartoons have always been an enjoyment to me... a relaxation... I get my ideas from everyday events.
