The Creation Of A Single

I Managed To Work For More Than 50 Years With Just Paper, Pencils And Film. My Son's Generation And The One Coming Up After Can't Work With Just Paper And Pencils Any More. I Managed To Avoid Using A Computer. I Don't Even Have A Cellphone. I Feel Lucky I Managed To Live Like That.

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 To Do The Same Job For 40 Years. That's Rare In Any Era.

I Don't Have The Story Finished And Ready When We Start Work On A Film. I Usually Don't Have The Time. So The Story Develops When I Start Drawing Storyboards. I Never Know Where The Story Will Go But I Just Keeping Working On The Film As It Develops. It's A Dangerous Way To Make An Animation Film And I Would Like It To Be Different, But Unfortunately, That's The Way I Work And Everyone Else Is Kind Of Forced To Subject Themselves To It.

You Always Have To Appeal To Your Audience. You Always Have To Consider How Well Your Project Will Do In Terms Of Admissions. I Abandoned Many Stories Because Of That. But I Don't Get Too Down About It. It's Something I Accepted From The Time I Decided To Work In Films.
