Ralph Bakshi Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Ralph Bakshi:

One of the best animated films I've seen come out of Disney was the Tarzan movie. I wasn't crazy about the story or the design on Tarzan's face, but the traditional animation was spectacular.

I thought I had the rights to The Lord of the Rings. I don't know how Jackson ended up with the rights.

Lord of the Rings made me realize that I'm not interested in doing anyone else's work.

What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion.

My movies continue to be found and be sold because there's something going on in them.

Sweetheart, I'm the biggest ripped-off cartoonist in the history of the world, and that's all I'm going to say.

As an artist, I want to interpret my feelings - not run across the street and ask what my mother thinks.

Cartooning at its best is a fine art. I'm a cartoonist who works in the medium of animation, which also allows me to paint my cartoons.

Ralph Bakshi

I miss animation very passionately. Not continuously, but every once in a while I would die to do another film.

I had the X rating on my films. Now they do as much on The Simpsons as I got an X rating for Fritz the Cat.

Film has to describe and show.

Live action writers will give you a structure, but who the hell is talking about structure? Animation is closer to jazz than some kind of classical stage structure.

I would like to have the original ending to my Lord of the Rings instead of the one they released. In my original cut I had the victory at Helm's Deep as the final sequence.

Ralph Bakshi

All the old great companies were run by guys who knew what an animator meant, and guys who knew how to draw. All the companies today are run by executives.

Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.

Ralph Bakshi

I draw what I feel, which is no more than doing my job.

Ralph Bakshi

Too many of Disney animators, and a lot try to emulate Disney, are trying to hit what they call quality levels. They're boring mannerisms.

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.

Ralph Bakshi

I animated 20 years at Terry Toons. It's important to know that animators like pizza and a raise once in a while, and you've got to treat them with love.
