Animation Quotes
-
Tempered, gradual animation, the methodical restrain of sensations and energies, the equilibrium of sickness and health in each creature--this is nature's essence, its immutable law, this is what it's based on and what it adheres to.
Ivan Turgenev
-
I have to admit to not being the greatest technician, but stop motion animation gives me licence to create machines that wouldn't otherwise be possible - inventions that seem real and actually work.
Nick Park
-
The thing with animation is that you record the actors like a radio show and then the animators become actors in their own way because it's their job to take this puppets and make them seem alive. They bring their own personalities to the way they move these puppets.
Wes Anderson
-
In animation, there's silly things I get to do with my voice. I get to have a wider range, so my voice gets to dance more than it does on camera.
Virginia Madsen

I'm always a person that's a little suspicious of anything that's been converted in post, but if I know that it's been originated, either in live-action or animation, I'm intrigued.
Dean DeBlois

Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature.
Walt Disney

You can say a lot with pictures. It's a visual medium - and especially with animation, you can do a lot that you can't do in live action.
Craig McCracken
-
The nice thing about animation is that you can realise your inventions without understanding all the hard theory.
Nick Park

What I've done for the last ten years is develop high profile entertainment properties for animation, so it's kind of funny to be able to create my own book to already know how I'd want to develop it for animation and live action.

When I get up in the morning and put on a pink or a green wig, I see myself as a piece of animation. It lets me be the person I want to be, a person who's not embarrassed to have fun.

No matter what happens with technology or whether you're in traditional animation or stop-motion or CG, the biggest challenge always is story. The flow of making the movie is usually determined by how your story is coming together, and when your story is straining and you can't quite get your hands around it, your entire production is straining.

Since the waiting time required during the rendering process has been dramatically shorter in the last 10 years, I think that CGI animation has finally become practical. It is a fact that I processed the Steamboy work based on the assumption that the machine spec would be higher. In that context, young 3D animators have also gotten more skillful in recent years. But what I didn't expect is that the skills of traditional 2D animators have become worse, and notable young animators have not come out to the scene. This is a big issue for the industry.
Katsuhiro Otomo
-
We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.
Tina Weymouth
-
Animation should be an art…what you fellows have done with it, making it into a trade…not an art, but a trade…bad luck.

I think 2-D animation disappeared from Disney because they made so many uninteresting films. They became very conservative in the way they created them. It's too bad. I thought 2-D and 3-D could coexist happily.
Hayao Miyazaki
-
I'm a true fan of animation, and it's my livelihood. Live-action is secondary to me.
Genndy Tartakovsky
-
I've always been a fan of animation. As a kid, I used to watch a lot of the Saturday-morning cartoons, and I was always a fan of even claymation and that whole medium.
Robert Trujillo
