hard-work people harder
But I don't just see the movie when I see the movie, I see all the great people who worked on it and all their hard work, because they could not have worked any harder.
culture film popular-culture
And it's not only films, I'm pretty unaware of anything that's going on in popular culture right now.
thinking hands animation
I absolutely think that hand-drawn animation is valid and I actually hope to do one in the future with a large budget.
You have to be emotionally attached to what you are doing.
hero firefighter television
I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent.
moving thinking space
I think if you have a really big, heavy person, there's a feeling of an invisible puppeteer jerking them around in space. They don't feel like they are moving themselves.
team struggle together
When you assemble animation teams the way you do a live-action film, you're often struggling a bit to get a cohesive team together, so if you have a team that works well together, you're hoping for another film so that you can refine the team.
book comic bigs
I was not a big comic-book reader.
interesting people come-up
If there are similarities, it's simply because the same thoughts that occurred to other people also occurred to me. I'd be astonished if anyone could come up with any truly original powers that were at all interesting any more.
moving space weight
If you move something 10 pounds through space and then stop suddenly, there's a little overshoot. When you transfer weight from one leg to another, there's a certain way that it happens
hands people done
The problem is that every time people have deviated from the Disney playbook in hand-drawn animation, they've done so with staff that are nowhere near Disney-level talent or Disney-level budgets.
kids anime stuff
My kids love anime, but I don't show them the really graphic stuff
moving space looks
If you look at a lot of animated movies, they don't pay attention to how things move through space.
mean ideas interesting
To make something really great and different and interesting means taking risks and following these ideas in your head.
