“What seems real to the mind can be as important as any material fact. We live by the spirit and the imagination as well as by our senses. Cartoon animation can give fantasy the same reality as those things we can touch and see and hear.”
“You know, the only way I've found to make these pictures is with animators. You can't seem to do it with accountants and bookkeepers.”
