More quotes by Ralph Bakshi
Animation is tremendously resilient. Animation will recover, as art always recovers. There's always cycles of good art.
Ralph Bakshi
I animated 20 years at Terry Toons. It's important to know that animators like pizza and a raise once in a while, and you've got to treat them with love.
Ralph Bakshi
My movies continue to be found and be sold because there's something going on in them.
Ralph Bakshi
What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion.
Ralph Bakshi
I would like to have the original ending to my Lord of the Rings instead of the one they released. In my original cut I had the victory at Helm's Deep as the final sequence.
Ralph Bakshi
Too many of Disney animators, and a lot try to emulate Disney, are trying to hit what they call quality levels. They're boring mannerisms.
Ralph Bakshi
Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.
Ralph Bakshi
Wizards was my homage to Tolkien in the American idiom. I had read Tolkien, understood Tolkien, and wanted to do a sort of fantasy for American kids, and that was Wizards.
Ralph Bakshi
I'm from the East Coast. I love the city. I love the characters. I love the kind of people we are, the kind other people look at in amazement.
Ralph Bakshi
Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.
Ralph Bakshi
As an artist, I want to interpret my feelings
Ralph Bakshi
Painting pictures didn't make me a lot of money. I have to eat.
Ralph Bakshi
I am not interested in slickness for the sake of slickness.
Ralph Bakshi
I wouldn't leave Disney to do Disney.
Ralph Bakshi
I separate cartooning, which is fun and wacky and soulful, from illustration, which is very well-drawn and extremely uptight to look at. There's a difference. I'm a cartoonist.
Ralph Bakshi
The art of cartooning is vulgarity. The only reason for cartooning to exist is to be on the edge. If you only take apart what they allow you to take apart, you're Disney. Cartooning is a low-class, for-the-public art, just like graffiti art and rap music. Vulgar but believable, that's the line I kept walking.
Ralph Bakshi
It's curtains for you, Mighty Mouse! This gun is so futuristic that even I don't know how it works!
Ralph Bakshi
Someone's been mean to you! Tell me who it is, so I can punch him tastefully.
Ralph Bakshi
Look what Disney's done to their animation department. There wasn't an animator in charge of their animation unit!
Ralph Bakshi
I miss animation very passionately. Not continuously, but every once in a while I would die to do another film.
Ralph Bakshi
