I prefer that animation reach into places where live action doesn't go, and it seems like all of animation nowadays is trying to go where live action is.

It just seems like the whole, overall animation world is trying to go where maybe animation doesn't belong.

The marketing department is really an important part of getting an animated film to work. If the people running it are used to selling live action films and the hard rock music and the sex and all those things... Anything outside that, they just don't know what to do with it.

In live action, sometimes a mood or a feeling can go on for quite a while. Animation is a lot more effort. There are a lot more notes.

Live action movies are someone else's story. With animation, audiences can't think that. Their guards are down.
