Reality Is For People That Lack Imagination.

I Intend To Work Until The Day I Die. I Retired From Feature-length Films But Not From Animation. Self-indulgent Animation. It's Nice That I Have The Mini-theater In The Museum. Most Of The Museum Visitors Attend The Mini-theater Screenings And We've Never Had A Complaint About The Quality Of The Films. I'd Like To Continue To Make Films That Leave The Audience Satisfied, But I Also Think It's Pointless Unless I Offer Them The Kind Of Animation They Can't Get Anywhere Else. They're Fun To Do. They're Short So It's Less Stressful.

In My Grandparents' Time, It Was Believed That Spirits Existed Everywhere - In Trees, Rivers, Insects, Wells, Anything. My Generation Does Not Believe This, But I Like The Idea That We Should All Treasure Everything Because Spirits Might Exist There, And We Should Treasure Everything Because There Is A Kind Of Life To Everything.

The Single Difference Between Films For Children And Films For Adults Is That In Films For Children, There Is Always The Option To Start Again, To Create A New Beginning. In Films For Adults, There Are No Ways To Change Things. What Happened, Happened.
