(on the 1976 remake of King Kong): "I was 15 when that film came out. I took the day off school, went into Wellington and was first in line to see it. It was a disappointment because I wanted it to have stop-motion animation, dinosaurs and the Empire Stat...

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
There is a contingent of the digital-effects community to whom that is the holy grail - to create photographically real humans. To me that is the dumbest goal that you could possibly have. What`s wonderful about the medium of animation isn`t recreating re...

[on the future of hand-drawn animation] I`m actually not that worried. I wouldn`t give up on it completely. Once in a while there are strange, rich people who like to invest in odd things. You`re going to have people in the corners of garages making carto...
Hayao Miyazaki
In Hollywood, they think drawn animation doesn`t work anymore, computers are the way. They forget that the reason computers are the way is that Pixar makes good movies. So everybody tries to copy Pixar. They`re relying too much on the technology and not e...

If [hand-drawn animation] is a dying craft, we can`t do anything about it. Civilization moves on. Where are all the fresco painters now? Where are the landscape artists? What are they doing now? The world is changing. I have been very fortunate to be able...
Hayao Miyazaki
I reject that whole point of view - that animation is a children`s medium. The way people talk about it is, well, hey, it`s a good thing I have kids, because now I get to see this. Well, hey, no, man! You can just go and see it. There`s no other art form ...
Brad Bird
I do a lot of teen shows and voice over work for animation, so when I got the part in "The Number 23" it was really cool because now I get to be in a movie with Jim Carrey. Acting in this movie was really a learning experience for me. I still played this ...
Paul Butcher
It is unfortunate that Disney closed down its drawn-animation unit. I find it quite upsetting, because they made a few drawn movies that weren`t successful and they went, `Well, that is dead, so we have to go to computers.` They forget that the reason tha...

[On seeing the animation for Batman: The Animated Series for the first time]: "I was really blown away. I turned to Mark [Hamill] and I was like `Did you have any idea we were working on something like this?!`"
Kevin Conroy
I think all movies are an illusion, whether they are live action or animation. And I think the best special effect that people don`t pay enough attention to is caring about the characters who are going through the set pieces. If you can be invested in the...

(on future use of CGI in his films) "Nooo! Leave that to George Lucas, he` s really mastered the CGI acting. That scares me! I hate it! Everybody is so pleased and excited by it. Animation is animation. Animation is great. But it`s when you`re now taking ...

People think of animation only doing things where people are dancing around and doing a lot of histrionics, but animation is not a genre. And people keep saying, "The animation genre." It`s not a genre! A Western is a genre! Animation is an art form, and ...

[discussing CGI animation] I`ve told the people on my CGI staff not to be accurate, not to be true. We`re making a mystery here, so make it mysterious.
Hayao Miyazaki
I think 2-D animation disappeared from Disney because they made so many uninteresting films. They became very conservative in the way they created them. It`s too bad. I thought 2-D and 3-D could coexist happily.
Hayao Miyazaki
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
When the Zippy movie first started being talked about very rarely would people actually say animation to me, because I would never consider it.
Al Sinclair
When I first came out to New Zealand for principal photography, the focus was on voicing Gollum. But Peter wanted Gollum to be the most interactive digital character ever made for a movie, with a combination of live action and digital animation.
Andy Serkis
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 go...
