I think there's a reason most animators are hidden behind giant curtains. They're not meant for the spotlight.".

- Stop-motion has this sort of weird, magical charm and energy that reminds us what it was like when we were kids, I still have that feeling to this day. Even though I've been doing this for 20 years, when I walk to a stop-motion set and I see the puppets underneath those beautiful lights, I don't feel the medium has lost any of its allure, charm or magic. It's still just as beautiful as it was when I was a kid running home from school to see those after-school specials and movies.
