You've got to be able to make animation for much less... Less is not the studio's way.

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

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.

There's about 260 rooms in the new castle which you go through, but it's all about the game play.

Once you work with a studio on a film, the studio is sort of like this enormous clam that just opens, takes everything and then closes, and no one enters again. They own it all.

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.

Dragon's Lair 3D is about as close as you can come to controlling an animated feature film.
