"Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else."

"Walt Disney had always tried to get more dimension in his animation and when I saw these tapes, I thought, This is it! This is what Walt was waiting for! But when I looked around, nobody at the studio at the time was even halfway interested in it."

"Animation is the one type of movie that really does play for the entire audience. Our challenge is to make stories that connect for kids and adults."
"In dire economic times, movies are relatively inexpensive entertainment for the whole family."
"Sure, they were simple desk lamps with only a minimal amount of movement, but you could immediately tell that Luxo Jr. was a baby, and that the big one was his mother. In that short little film, computer animation went from a novelty to a serious tool for filmmaking."
