reality thinking instruments
I think the CG is an instrument to create reality. I don't think it's an instrument to create a heightened reality.
believe drs world
Dr. Strangelove' was and is one of my favorite movies ever, and I just can't believe they actually blew up the world after that.
years twelve hundred
Now, I just made an animated movie a few years ago, 'The Tale of Desperaux', and that had twelve hundred shots in it. Twelve hundred CG shots is a pretty big plan.
directors needs tables
Any director, if you really ask them, will tell you that the toughest thing to do is like a dinner table or a dialogue scene because you need to keep that electricity maintained throughout the course of the film.
writing needs schedules
As a writer and a director, I simply don’t have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule,
character emotional depth
You rarely get a tentpole that has this much emotional depth, this much character to dive into.
children healing journey
Why is every great children's story about a journey? Maybe that's because we are always on one.
mean thinking grace
I have some favorites. I love Chaplin; I mean I really love Chaplin. I just think there's a grace and an elegance that's almost never been matched.
meaningful memories reading
As time goes by the memories of sitting on the edge of a bed and reading aloud with your kid are going to be very meaningful in your own mental scrapbook.
confusion people too-much
History is full of examples of people who clamp down after they began to enjoy too much freedom. Freedom can lead to instability, anarchy, and confusion. So there can be a moral counter-revolution.
gratitude book kids
'Harry Potter' created a generation of readers in an era when kids could have disappeared into the depths of the Internet. That's no small feat. Every book series owes J.K. Rowling a debt of gratitude.
conversation good left prepare spin wherever
I left the conversation pretty much up to him. That way I would be fresher, and he's so good at this. I didn't want to prepare or spin anything. I just jumped in and let him take it wherever it went.
act risk shown supply willing
Governments have shown that if there is a substantial supply risk they are willing to act, and act quickly.
traders worry
For the first time, traders have to worry about demand.
