It's one thing to make peace with the idea of something that's going to happen someday; it's another to find yourself at that day.

I think the moment you try to make a movie for kids, you make garbage.

Whether I'm directing live action or animation, my responsibility is the same. I have an audience sitting in a theater with their popcorn, and I've got to show them a good time and make them feel something.

If you try to target a movie at kids, you end up with something that makes parents take a nap.

If it's not working, you can't polish a turd.

You can tell a story clearly in the storyboards, but if you don't keep the correct focus in the animation, it can be ruined.
