More quotes by Norman McLaren

Norman McLaren
Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.
Norman McLaren
And so my militant philosophy is this: to make with a brush on canvas is a simple direct delight-to make with the movie is the same.
Norman McLaren

Norman McLaren

Norman McLaren

Norman McLaren

Norman McLaren
