Fairy tales are my natural language. I feel at ease telling fairy tales like a fish feels in water. I am totally free.

People all over the world feed upon U.S. cinema and don't know about their own.

Kids in different countries know my movies by heart because they've seen them so many times. And wonderful returns never stop.

The quality and success of Disney was actually bad for us animators because everyone on the planet thought that animation was only for kids and only in a certain domain. The big film festivals never thought much about animated films.

For me, the stereoscopic imagery was a new game to play with. Surprisingly enough, it's also a return to tradition. I'm back with paper-looking puppets moving about in several layers of theatrical backgrounds.

Digital is expensive, from the computers to the professional software to the technicians, but digital helps me to create more beautiful images in less time.

I'm a sorcerer because I start with nothing, and then, eventually, there is something. And I touch you, I move you, I make you laugh or cry, and you believe in what's happening on the screen, although I always show it's invented.
