“When you work in animation, everyone starts on the bottom rung. You do...” — Rob Minkoff Quote

When you work in animation, everyone starts on the bottom rung. You don't even draw your own pictures, you just fill in the movements in between the drawings of more experienced animators. There's never any question of anyone in animation not having paid their dues.

My personal goal is not just to make family films, but all kinds of films.

Mr. Peabody is this genetic anomaly. He does have brothers and sisters, all of them non-speaking, not super-smart dogs. He's an outcast, but has overcome it by being so great at so many things.

The desire and drive to create this illusion of three-dimensional space is something that is true about every kind of film because you want the audience to really be experiencing it, first hand.

When I was a kid, I wanted to make movies. In particular, I loved animation and would love to have been an animator.

I wrote a big animation scene for 'Iron Fists,' but we couldn't afford all that.

Animation scripts tend to be much more descriptive and are lighter on dialogue.

When I was a kid, at Disneyland, they used to sell Animation Cels for $5.00 at a Fantasyland store. They were called Courvoisier Cels. I was too young to be aware of just how cool that really was.

What's unique about Disney Animation, many of the films have this perennial quality about them. They don't seem like old films, they still seem sort of fresh and relevant.
