moving boys government
Ten-year-old boys move differently than middle-aged women, who move differently than athletic guys, who move differently than government bureaucrats.
moving hands feelings
Even in hand drawn animation, humans are widely considered to be the most difficult to execute, because everybody has a feeling for how they move.
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.
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
moving space looks
If you look at a lot of animated movies, they don't pay attention to how things move through space.
annoyed millions people tomorrow watched
I don't know what's more frightening, being watched by millions of people, or the hundreds of people that are going to be annoyed with me tomorrow for not mentioning them,
real thinking names
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
pixar yeah stills
Oh yeah, I'm still employed at Pixar and I love it here.
thinking people trying
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
dream impossible pursue
We all have impossible dreams and we do what we can to pursue them...
ego assistants bigs
Oh, I'm just Ego's assistant. It's not anything big.
enthusiasm
I admit I'm enthusiastically demanding.
drawing goal als
When caricaturist, Al Hirschfeld, did a drawing of a celebrity, it often looked more like the person than the person did. That's our goal in animation.
funny hands feet
Well what's funny is, again, people say they believed what was going on, but again, Bob's hands are about three times bigger than his feet. So these are very caricatured.
