I think talent decides everything. More than the method, what's important is the talent using it. There's nothing inherently wrong or right about a method, whether it be pencil drawings or 3-D CG. Pencil drawings don't have to go away, but those who continue to use the medium lack talent. So sadly, it will fade away.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I was deliberately trying to express how possible it might be for unmarried men and adults not blessed with biological children to become fathers of choice. In an old-fashioned, traditional world, this might not matter. But I think that it's probably going to become terribly relevant as time goes on.

I managed to work for more than 50 years with just paper, pencils and film. My son's generation and the one coming up after can't work with just paper and pencils any more. I managed to avoid using a computer. I don't even have a cellphone. I feel lucky I managed to live like that.

There's only one test of a great children's book, or a great children's film, and that is this: If it can be read or viewed with pleasure by adults, then it has the chance to be a great children's film, or a great children's book.
Chuck Jones
Image
Everything on Saturday morning [cartoons] moves alike that's one of the reasons it's not animation. The drawings are different, but everybody acts the same way, their feet move the same way, and everybody runs the same way. It doesn't matter whether it's an alligator or a man or a baby or anything, they all move the same.
Chuck Jones

At the time, sword and sorcery stories were quite popular. There were female warriors waving swords around as well, but the genre is populated entirely with people who have absolutely no responsibility to anyone, so I knew my story would have to be completely different from any of these.
Hayao Miyazaki

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.
Winsor McCay
Image
When I start creating a villain, I start liking the villain and so the villain is not really evil.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.
Hayao Miyazaki
Image
I find it pointless sitting in my house not working, though I like to go on extended vacations from time to time.
Hayao Miyazaki

You can't force inspiration. It's like trying to catch a butterfly with a hoop but no net. If you keep your mind open and receptive, though, one day a butterfly will land on your finger.
Chuck Jones
Image
Animators can only draw from their own experiences of pain and shock and emotions.
Hayao Miyazaki

I want to take themes that are shared throughout the world, express them through animation, and make movies from them.
Mamoru Hosoda

Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out.
Chuck Jones
Image
Nobody has the right to sit in judgment and decide what's good or bad for you.
Hayao Miyazaki

There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
Chuck Jones
Image
People have two sides, and a person first becomes appealing when you discover both of those sides - and worlds work exactly the same way.
Mamoru Hosoda
Image
Trying to be a leader, you've got to be really sure of what you're doing and you've got to guide people the right way.
Genndy Tartakovsky
