People Are Very Harsh Critics Of Animated

This Golden Globe Nomination Is Sweet Validation For The Years Of Hard Work It Took To Bring Coraline To Life Using Stop-motion Animation With The Greatest Crew Of Animators, Artists, And Technicians I've Ever Been Privileged To Work With. I Share This Nomination With All Of Them And We All Share Our Thanks To The Hollywood Foreign Press.

People Spend The Money Where The Money Is. Nightmare Never Goes Away.

I Feel I'm Just Meant To Do Stop-motion. Live-action Is Much More Glamorous To Some, But It's Basically A Whole Army Of People Focused On One Thing.

I Love The Culture Of Animation. What Stop-motion Has In Common With Live-action Is That It Has Many Of The Same Departments. There's Hair, Costume, Makeup In The Form Of Paint, Gaffers, Electricians. So There's The Same Sense Of Real Stuff, Real Light. But It's Not Like Everything Happens At Once, Like It Does In Live-action. It's All Subdivided Into These Small Sets. It's Where My Strengths Are. Live-action Is Just An Utterly Different World, And I'm Not A Public Enough Persona To Be Big And Loud At The Front Of The Ship. I'd Rather More Quietly Interact With The Artisan Animators.

Miyazaki's Films In Japan Are Bigger Than Titanic. He's An Incredible Rock Star There. In The Us, They Don't Do As Well.
