The best way for a beginner to write for animation is to closely watch animated films, then read the screenplays for them afterwards.
Douglas Wood

The days when you needed amazing Silicon Graphics machines to run animation software are gone now.
Dave Rowntree

The success of The Simpsons really opened doors. It showed that if you were working in animation you didn't necessarily have to be working in kids' television.
Seth MacFarlane

We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.
Tina Weymouth

We go through, I think, six different drafts of each script. And then my shooting it is roughly, you know, fifteen percent of the total work that gets done on a show. Then it's all post-production animation after that.
Steve Burns

Well, directing is doing the key drawings, not the key animation, mind you.
Chuck Jones

Well, for one thing, the executives in charge at Cartoon Network are cartoon fans. I mean, these are people who grew up loving animation and loving cartoons, and the only difference between them and me is they don't know how to draw.
Craig McCracken

What I love most about animation is, it's a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.
Jeffrey Katzenberg

What we were in on, really, was the invention of animation.
Marc Davis

What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion.
Ralph Bakshi

When an executive walked on our floor, it was at their own risk. As far as what others thought of working for me, I know I was very tough at times, and would storm down the hall after watching some bad animation from Korea. But overall, I feel we had a good time.
Joe Murray

When business executives are making the artistic decisions and don't understand animation, things can go awry.
Don Bluth

When The Simpsons came around, there really was nothing else like it on TV. It's hard to imagine, but when Fox first took the plunge with it, it was considered controversial to put animation on prime time.
Matt Groening

Where as in animation you have to kind of do a series of drawings in between to complete the movement.
Gerald Scarfe

Yes, actually. Animation's a very easy thing to watch on tour.
Dave Rowntree

You don't have a face to work with, so your voice has to do all the work until you see the animation. So, a lot of it I had to pull back because it was too big.
Sean Hayes

You've got to be able to make animation for much less... Less is not the studio's way.
Don Bluth
