We're waiting for the pendulum to swing back again, which I am absolutely confident it will.

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?

The heart of Dragon's Lair has always been its compelling story. With Dragon's Lair 3D, we think the team has really created an interactive animated movie.

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.

I think we have to bottom out. When the studios jump out of the ring, perhaps the artist can get back in.

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