On Animation: The Director's Perspective is a collection of interviews with 23 animated feature-film directors. These extensive interviews were conducted over the past several years by filmmakers and educators (and peers to the directors interviews) Tom Sito and Bill Kroyer. Interviews cover in-depth discussion of each director's career -- focusing on their creative development, their films, lesson learned and advice. The interviews were edited and produced by Ron Diamond.

    If the only reason to animate something is because it can't be done in live action, animation would've gone extinct decades ago. Because live action can now do anything. The reason to do something in animation is caricature, and I use that word in a good sense, to get through to the truth of something. - Brad Bird

    Sometimes you have to pick another day for a battle. You don't have to give up on it. There may be another way to approach it later. - Vicky Jenson

    I have no stomach for movies that are just desperate, frenetic grabs for audience attention. If you have a chance to make a movie, it damn well better say something. - Pete Docter

    That's what directing is. Ultimately, it's all about story, whether you are talking about the lighting of the scene, the animation, or the design of a character. You have to make sure your animators and crew are working and creating to bring out your story. - Chris Sanders

    It's like generals of an army-you look at them and go, "We got to take that bridge; a lot of you are going to die. But we got to do it, or we are going to lose the war." That's the role of the leader. You have to ask someone to do the hard work, and it's terribly sad at times. - Jennifer Yuh Nelson
