We'd love to do Space Ace 3D. It has a lot of potential. But, it is really up to the publishers.

I prefer that animation reach into places where live action doesn't go, and it seems like all of animation nowadays is trying to go where live action is.

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

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.

The studios will go wherever they smell money. It's like sharks to the blood.

You just can't keep pouring money down an endless hole and never recoup any of it. It's got to be a business.

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.
