When The Simpsons came around, there really was nothing else like it on TV. It's hard to imagine, but when Fox first took the plunge with it, it was considered controversial to put animation on prime time. ↗

Animation is tremendously resilient. Animation will recover, as art always recovers. There's always cycles of good art. ↗

I love all the old classic Disney movies. 'Pinocchio.' There are obviously tons of them that anybody growing up on that stuff takes with them their whole lives, and I'm an admirer of a lot of classic animation and fairy tales. I grew up on a book of Grimm's fairy tales that I kind of wore out again and again. That's all stuff that lingers with you. ↗

For me, part of the fascination with making animation is you go to a place; it's a complete immersion in someone else's fantasy. ↗

Animation scripts tend to be much more descriptive and are lighter on dialogue. ↗
