This is a great interview.
Thanks for posting Mark.
Interesting!
Though I wish I could know what the bleeped out film was ^^
Thanks for showing us this link -- I really believe Brad Bird is a brilliant director and writer. He says it all with this answer about what's wrong with modern animation: "Tired, recycled story lines. Fart jokes. Poo-poo jokes. Celebrity-voiced characters that are not interesting to listen to. Smart-alecky pop-culture references that substitute for actual characterization." I was beginning to wonder if it was just me -- I just don't get the humor of bodily functions.
My wife and I saw Ratatouille last night. I can't imagine anything could come along this year that would top it. This is in a class by itself. Bravo!
