Animation Age Ghetto/Quotes: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

{{quote|''I do not make films [[Jedi Truth|primarily for children.]] I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty. Call the child innocence, although buried deeply it might be. In my work I try to reach and speak to that innocence, showing it the fun and joy of living; showing it that laughter is healthy; showing it that the human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.''|'''[[Walt Disney|Walter Elias Disney]]''' to people who miss the point of Classic Disney films.}}

{{quote|"Everybody knows live action is better than cartoons!"~~<br />~~

"Benjamin Kirby Tennyson, don't even think about it!"|Ben and Gwen Tennyson, [[Ben 10: Ultimate Alien]]. [[It Makes Sense in Context]].}}

Line 42:

{{quote|"There are shackles with the budgets and the profit margins. You want to compete with what they’re doing at [[Pixar]] and [[DreamWorks]]. There’s a price tag with that just in terms of achieving that quality level. What happened to the [[Ralph Bakshi|Ralph Bakshis]] of the world? We’re all sitting here talking about family entertainment. Does animation have to be family entertainment? I think at that cost, yes. (...) What I’m saying is we could make animation that’s not for the kids to see, too. I don’t think you want to say, “Hey, bring your family to this movie that’s inappropriate.” But animation can be so much more if we let those boundaries loose."|[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hollywood-reporter-animation-roundtable-tintin-275984 Gore Verbinski]}}

{{quote| "The thing I really hate the most is the total emersion that some anime fans get into -- "dedicating" every corner of their lives to it by buying all manner of posters, books, magazines, studying Japanese just to be able to read the comics or understand the videos, buyng Japanese versions of popular video game systems just to play anime-oriented video games, and intellectualizing the plot of a cartoon as though it had some deep, heady philosophy imbedded into it. If you are doing almost all of these things listed, and not just one or two, you have a serious peoblem. I can't stand people like that, because being around them is like being around a mentally ill person who is trapped in their childhood."}}

{{quote| "Let's face it. Japanese animation is juvenile, insipid, and endless in it's artistic, thematic, and storyline incestuousness. Every character looks like they came from the same artist - an artist who himself is obsessed with impossible body figures and puppy-dog eyes. The plots are always borrowing from each other -- I swear I saw over 100 different anime shows that had the same plots, characters, and sound effects. I mean, what makes a 35-year-old adult want to watch shows that are intended for a 12-and-under audience is beyond me..."}}
