Animation Quotes - page 5

Clash was destined to be my last hero picture, and looking back, the decision to end my career at that point was absolutely right. With all the problems involved in production, and the knowledge that I was losing precious control of solo animation, I was forced to concede that it was time to stand aside for others and their new technology to take over. (Ray Harryhausen)
It seems ironic that for most of my career I have been trying to perfect smooth and life-like animation action, but for Talos (which was the longest animation section of the film), it was necessary to create a deliberately stiff and mechanical movement in keeping with a bronze statue that had sprung to life.

Ray Harryhausen
America is behind Europe and Japan in terms of accepting adult ideas in animation. View quote
Bill Plympton
I'm a huge fan of animation, and just the arts in general - anything that emanates from someone's mind and soul and is capable of touching other people's minds and souls. View quote
Charles Fleischer
I was a little shocked at how adult some of the humor was, because I was never that into animation before and when I watched 'Shrek' I really laughed out loud. View quote
Cheryl Hines
If I wasn't acting or doing stand-up, I would be in animation. Or if I had the discipline I might studies physics. View quote
Chris Hardwick
In animation, no one gets to see your face, so you can really mess up with your voice like I did 'ParaNorman;' I was a bully in that, which was so much fun to do. In 'How to Train Your Dragon,' I'm a little Viking character. So, it's kind of exciting to play these roles that you normally wouldn't get to play in a live-action movie. View quote
Christopher Mintz-Plasse
I learned how to do stop-frame animation and I experimented with that a lot, and pretty much that was my mode of animating through high school. View quote
David Bolinsky
Doing animation is closer to pretending than anything else you get to do. It's much more like when you're a kid putting on a character. View quote
Diedrich Bader
I think the biggest difference is in live action, you show up, and there's a set there and a ground to stand on, at least, and in animation, there's kinda nothing. You are making decisions on everything. View quote
Dan Scanlon
I don't know if I really watched any Disney animation as a kid. (Emilie de Ravin)
If you were to look at an old 'Betty Boop' cartoon or an 'Out of the Ink Well' animation, there are many things about 'Adventure Time' that really remind you of that, even though it doesn't look like any of those cartoons. View quote
Fred Seibert
Nothing's occurring in animation - you manufacture everything. View quote
Gore Verbinski
For me, animation is the caricature of life. It's something that we create, from the ground up. View quote
Genndy Tartakovsky
I'm a true fan of animation, and it's my livelihood. Live-action is secondary to me. View quote
Genndy Tartakovsky
My brothers were the ones who taught me about mythology and storytelling, and showed me how to do stop-motion animation. View quote
Geoffrey S. Fletcher
There's the animation ghetto of feature films in this country. There's this flavor at DreamWorks, and Pixar does their own thing, and generally they're safe. But if you look at Walt Disney's original films, at the time and in the context, they weren't safe. They were really dark and troubling. View quote
Henry Selick
Very few people have made the transition from animation to live-action; I'm certainly not one. View quote
Henry Selick
I have more faith in doing something creative for a cable station or something like Yahoo or Google or Amazon. What Netflix did with 'House of Cards' and David Fincher was brilliant. That is inspiring to me. I think there is more chance for creativity in animation, it just hasn't happened there yet. View quote
Henry Selick
You have to always physicalize, when you do animation recording. Otherwise, you won't get the performance right. View quote
Hank Azaria
I used to watch every episode of 'Justice League,' I went to all the movies, I had the Superman lunchbox. I was enamored with animation in general and always wanted to somehow be a part of it. (Jesse McCartney)
I did what we call dry for wet effects, some of the miniatures work and two animation sequences. View quote
John Hench
Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist. View quote
John Lasseter
I loved animation and cartoons, even when it was not cool when you were in high school. I raced home to see the Bugs Bunny cartoons. View quote
John Lasseter
Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else. View quote
