Motion-capture is not a genre. Motion-capture is a tool and technique and what we tried to do was to really use both motion-capture and traditional animation to build a system.

The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself.

Everybody's life has these moments, where one thing leads to another. Some are big and obvious and some are small and seemingly insignificant.

I think that you can treat a classic like a museum piece -stuffed and mounted- or you can make it a living, breathing narrative that is unfolding right then and there.

What I don't like are pompous, pretentious movies.

I didn't want my kids having to pass through an airport named after their father.

I wanted people to believe that there could still be this little undiscovered piece of the world that survives still on Skull Island.
