It's whatever sells; it's the business of it.

As you follow the escapades or the journey of the hero through a story, it evokes some kind of emotion in the viewers. The director's job is to make sure that the audience goes through the journey and has an emotional reaction.

It just seems like the whole, overall animation world is trying to go where maybe animation doesn't belong.

I remember when we were doing the first Dragon's Lair, I got really involved with coming up with all the little rooms and what was the danger in the room and going into it with bats and spiders and snakes.

How can you have a director that doesn't go to work with the crew every day and talk to them?

Usually with things, you go where you can find the financing to do it.

I'm also very pleased that we were able to include a full orchestrated score for Dragon's Lair 3D. The 40 different music pieces blend with the action to make you feel more a part of the whole adventure.
