The great thing about animation is that it ages really well,

I prefer that animation reach into places where live action doesn't go, and it seems like all of animation nowadays is trying to go where live action is.

It just seems like the whole, overall animation world is trying to go where maybe animation doesn't belong.

In the animation world, people who understand pencils and paper usually aren't computer people, and the computer people usually aren't the artistic people, so they always stand on opposite sides of the line.

you can go somewhere emotionally that maybe you can't in live action.

It's interesting because Walt had such an amazing ear for music. Ilene and I were talking briefly before the call, about what a great pitch-perfect voice she has, on the disc and some of her radio performances and TV appearances with Perry Como, in an era where there were only live performances and you couldn't go in and do multi-track edits and all that that you can do today. Her pitch was so beautiful and so right on, and it was a real testament not only to Ilene but to Walt and his artists that they really appreciated and knew that that was something that was rare.
