funny hands feet
Well what's funny is, again, people say they believed what was going on, but again, Bob's hands are about three times bigger than his feet. So these are very caricatured.
moving hands feelings
Even in hand drawn animation, humans are widely considered to be the most difficult to execute, because everybody has a feeling for how they move.
thinking hands animation
I absolutely think that hand-drawn animation is valid and I actually hope to do one in the future with a large budget.
hands people done
The problem is that every time people have deviated from the Disney playbook in hand-drawn animation, they've done so with staff that are nowhere near Disney-level talent or Disney-level budgets.
real thinking names
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
pixar yeah stills
Oh yeah, I'm still employed at Pixar and I love it here.
thinking people trying
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
dream impossible pursue
We all have impossible dreams and we do what we can to pursue them...
ego assistants bigs
Oh, I'm just Ego's assistant. It's not anything big.
enthusiasm
I admit I'm enthusiastically demanding.
drawing goal als
When caricaturist, Al Hirschfeld, did a drawing of a celebrity, it often looked more like the person than the person did. That's our goal in animation.
thinking next pixar
I think it's the most extraordinary studio around. I would love to do my next project with Pixar.
sleep kids wife
I have three kids and a wife, and any moments that aren't dedicated to working on this film in some way, or family, are immediately reserved for sleep.
hard-work people harder
But I don't just see the movie when I see the movie, I see all the great people who worked on it and all their hard work, because they could not have worked any harder.
