I know pretty well in the broad sense what I'm going to do, because I have to know that when we shoot the live-action, so that it'll synchronize. Then I know pretty well when I get to the animation stage, what that scene requires.
Ray Harryhausen

I love doing the voice of Batman because of the quality of the animation. The music is particularly incredible. Another bonus is getting the opportunity to work with some very respected actors who do not usually do voice work.
Kevin Conroy

I miss animation very passionately. Not continuously, but every once in a while I would die to do another film.
Ralph Bakshi

I prefer that animation reach into places where live action doesn't go, and it seems like all of animation nowadays is trying to go where live action is.
Don Bluth

I usually have 10 different animation projects going at a time.
Tara Strong

I'm having the same problems today that I had when I first started, saying that outrageous adult animation works.
Ralph Bakshi

In animation, there's this exhilarating moment of discovery when you see the film and you say, Oh THAT'S what I was doing.
John Lithgow

In the animation world, people who understand pencils and paper usually aren't computer people, and the computer people usually aren't the artistic people, so they always stand on opposite sides of the line.
Don Bluth

It just seems like the whole, overall animation world is trying to go where maybe animation doesn't belong.
Don Bluth

Live action writers will give you a structure, but who the hell is talking about structure? Animation is closer to jazz than some kind of classical stage structure.
Ralph Bakshi

Look what Disney's done to their animation department. There wasn't an animator in charge of their animation unit!
Ralph Bakshi

My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military.
Smedley Butler

My secret ambition was always to provide music for animation films: something with an Indian theme, either a fairy tale or mythological tale or on the Krishna theme. I still have a very deep desire, but these sorts of chances don't always come.
Ravi Shankar

My work is so unorthodox that from one panel to the next, the drawings are completely different... totally opposed to the way of working in something like animation, where every drawing has to look like the one before.
Sergio Aragones

No movement can afford to be caught in a time warp and exist in a state of suspended animation.
Theodore Bikel

One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.
Ralph Bakshi

Polar Express is not an attempt to do animation. It is a technology-based film.
Leonard Maltin

So many plays with magic in them that would be a terrific invitation to an imaginative animation team.
Kenneth Branagh

Studios have been trying to get rid of the actor for a long time and now they can do it. They got animation. NO more actor, although for now they still have to borrow a voice or two. Anyway, I find it abhorrent.
James Coburn

The animation of the canvas is one of the hardest problems of painting.
Alfred Sisley
