I believe in the nobility of entertaining people and I take great, great pride that people are willing to give me two or three hours of their busy lives.

One of the big technical advances that's really great looking is the water.

A gem of a short film has a sense of pure joy in animation that is different from anything you see in a feature film.

Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else.

Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.

When you make these films, they become like your children. But at a certain point, they don’t belong to you anymore; they belong to the world.

I've always loved animation it's the reason why I do what I do for a living - the films of Walt Disney. This art form is so spectacular and beautiful. And I never quite understood the feeling amongst animation studios that audiences today only wanted to see computer animation. It's never about the medium that a film is made in, it's about the story. It's about how good the movie is.
