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.

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.

When business executives are making the artistic decisions and don't understand animation, things can go awry.

In the animation world, people who understand pencils and paper usually aren't computer people, and the computer people usually aren't the artistic people, so they always stand on opposite sides of the line.

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

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

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