Bill Plympton quotes about
artist museums hands
I like the idea of seeing a film that has the artist's hand in there,a film where you can see his strokes, you can see his working patterns. It's like going to a museum and seeing a Renoir drawing. You want to see their work and you want to see how they put it together. For me to see that in animation is really fresh, it's really exciting, it's really original.
facts film more-money
Im very happy with the success of short films. In fact, for me, the short films make more money than the features.
japan europe ideas
America is behind Europe and Japan in terms of accepting adult ideas in animation.
kids thinking people
Animation can be a full spectrum of different storytelling techniques and different genres. I think it's sad that there is only one audience that the studios are aiming for and that's the kid audience. It's really tragic that they don't' make films for older people.
thinking imagination people
I think it reflects well on the state of animation that people are knowledgeable about it and love the fantasy and imagination that goes into it.

caricature cartoonist communication create depth dialogue experience meaning purely using visceral visual wonderful
For me, the perfect film has no dialogue at all. It's purely a visual, emotional, visceral kind of experience. And I think one can create wonderful depth and meaning and communication without using words. I started out as an illustrator and a cartoonist and caricature artist, so for me the visual is primary.
draw morning six ten until
I like to get up at six in the morning, and I draw until sometimes ten at night.
