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

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

The only one that seems to be able to hold the business is Disney. They do it is because they have a fabulous philosophy about marketing- but even they wavered.

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.

Basically the children who watch it just see the little characters they love, and so they're not discerning about whether it looks great or it's a great story or anything.
