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.

Shelf-life for a regular video game usually is about three to five years, and that's it.

Reese Witherspoon. She's sophisticated enough that you just like her. You like her and she's smart.

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

With movies, you are always in search is a good story, one that everyone will relate to and love. I love finding those stories and creating a visual world to tell the story.

The marketing department is really an important part of getting an animated film to work. If the people running it are used to selling live action films and the hard rock music and the sex and all those things... Anything outside that, they just don't know what to do with it.

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