And having suffered for part of the war when I was a child. I was too young to really understand what was going on but one of my favorite pieces of animation now is that Goodbye Blue Sky in The Wall because that deals directly with that period in time.
Gerald Scarfe

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.
Walt Disney

Animation did not become the dominant form of children's television until the '60s.
Annette Funicello

Animation had been done before, but stories were never told.
Marc Davis

Animation is about creating the illusion of life. And you can't create it if you don't have one.
Brad Bird

Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon's unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.
Walt Disney

Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.
Norman McLaren

Animation is tremendously resilient. Animation will recover, as art always recovers. There's always cycles of good art.
Ralph Bakshi

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.
Walt Disney

Animation scripts tend to be much more descriptive and are lighter on dialogue.
Douglas Wood

Because good writing in a TV cartoon is so rare, I think the animation on The Simpsons is often overlooked.
Matt Groening

But probably for the last ten years or so, I've been fitting in animation work into my other projects.
Dave Rowntree

But the animation has become very good, and I think that a movie is not a book, and a book is not a movie.
Katherine Dunn

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

Depression is melancholy minus its charms - the animation, the fits.
Susan Sontag

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.
Ralph Bakshi

False friendship, like the ivy, decays and ruins the walls it embraces; but true friendship gives new life and animation to the object it supports.
Richard Burton

I am an animator. I feel like I'm the manager of a animation cinema factory. I am not an executive. I'm rather like a foreman, like the boss of a team of craftsmen. That is the spirit of how I work.
Hayao Miyazaki

I brought in the stories many times. I don't just do animation.
Ray Harryhausen

I did what we call dry for wet effects, some of the miniatures work and two animation sequences.
