Genndy Tartakovsky Quotes

As the CG in motion capture made it look realistic, it put more of an onus on the game makers to make the dialogue they're saying more realistic. It doesn't matter what they say when they're 8-bits, but if they look almost photo-real, it matters. More and more, the games industry is realising that.

I don't use film cameras. I don't do visual effects the same way. We don't use miniature models; it's all CG now, creating worlds in CG. It's a completely different toolset. But the rules of storytelling are the same.

It is no surprise that animation is Hollywood's most successful and innovative genre.

I fancy cartoons; don't even get me started on 'Aladdin.'

Making the visuals photo-realistic lets us do things we were never able to do before. The voice acting, the facial expressions, are all that much deeper.

Because Naughty Dog relies on their facial team to hand animate the faces of each game character and they do such a remarkable job, I think you can be more realistic with your acting. It gives the story and what's happening to you the feeling that it's a game.

I love hand-drawn animation, but I have to say I have fallen in love with CG animation. What you can do in terms of visuals is pretty stunning, and I think if I did go back and do a hand-drawn animation, I would want to make sure that, from a stylistic standpoint, it would be as beautiful as 'Hunchback of Notre Dame' at least!

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

I see the tool set being the same and maybe doing virtual movies and that's fine for some stories but not for others. And maybe make all CG movies but they are already doing it.

Animated films are so precisely engineered - right down to forming lines of dialogue with words pulled from several different takes - how do you translate that spontaneity from the live-action to the digital realm?

With 'Toy Story,' which is a fantastic film but is essentially animation, you get to make all your decisions beforehand. 'Jumanji' is shot much like any other action film.

That's the thing with animated films - I often feel that puppets get the better parts compared to us normal actresses.

In '83, not only was there no such thing as performance motion capture technology, there was no such thing as digital animation. This was the analog era.

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.

When we did 'Toy Story,' that was an all-hands-on-deck situation that really was time-intensive.

If people want to watch a CG movie, there's plenty out there.

The nice thing about animation, you don't even really have to account for yourself. All of the physical stuff that you work on as an actor, you just throw away.

I'm in the entertainment business, and I make commercially entertaining animated features.

Doing an animation is nothing like anything you could ever experience. You get to be a kid again and just play dress up in a movie studio.

When I was a kid, I wanted to make movies. In particular, I loved animation and would love to have been an animator.

I think Mike and I would absolutely love to do feature animation. Either another story, or it if worked out, one in the 'Avatar' world. We would be really excited.

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

We're not purists about stop-motion. If there's a tool we can use that makes more sense to bring something to life in a better way, we'll use it, whether that's hand-drawn animation or CG or some newfangled technology we're developing.

Doing 3D on 'Hugo' was a big learning curve for me, but fun!

I ran development and programming at Disney TV animation. We did a lot of cartoons.
