Quote of the Day


“For the first time in my career, we could push the animation to all kinds of crazy places just as Seuss pushed his work into some wildly imaginative areas."

Jimmy Hayward, co-director Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who

It is amazing when we have the license, creatively, to do what we imagine. In terms of movies, architecture, the way we live our lives. Howard Roark in Fountainhead comes to mind, so does Richard Branson, but I guess there is also a Stephen Kingish dark side to this. We can imagine, but we need to be disciplined about it, and of course, discipline impacts on flights of fancy, sometimes tethering them to the ground like kites. But how long would a kite fly if we snipped the tether?
