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.

We make the kind of movies we like to watch. I love to laugh. I love to be amazed by how beautiful it is. But I also love to be moved to tears. There's lots of heart in our films.

People who get into animation tend to be kids. We don't have to grow up. But also, animators are great observers, and there's this childlike wonder and interest in the world, the observation of little things that happen in life.

I'm the biggest fan of animation. I love the history of animation, I know it well.

The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.

People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.

Every animator is really an actor performing in slow motion, living the character a drawing at a time.
