Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It's what you do with the medium.

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

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

Toys are put on this Earth to be played with by a child.

I quickly realized that this medium had a lot to offer someone like me. To do Disney-quality hand-drawn cartoons, you have to be a master of two art forms. Seriously, you have to be able to draw like a Leonardo da Vinci or a Michelangelo. But also you have to know movement and timing and control that through 24 frames a second.

There’s never a wrong idea. You just keep throwing stuff out and inevitably there are elements of different things that inspire a character or environment.
