I've always been excited by rotoscoping, the technique used in films like 'Waking Life,' which fuses animation with real-life emotion. It seemed like it was a process ripe for innovation.

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

When we started on 'Coraline,' there was a whole host of things that we had no idea how we were going to do.

In my opinion, animation will continue to thrive as long as there are children, parents, television, movies and the need to laugh.

I think I might do an animated film next. I'm serious.
