I look at some of my early stuff - back when I was 12 or 13 years old - and I was already doing cross-hatching back then. I don't know where I picked that up. I think I was in a hurry, and I wanted to shade something really fast, and I tried cross-hatching a shadow. Bill Plympton backcrossearly share on social
I listen to Emmylou Harris. She's my favorite. I don't know why, but I just feel more creative with her playing. Bill Plympton creativeemmyloufavorite Change image and share on social
Hand-drawn animation is something that I feel really strongly about. A Pixar movie may be really great, but it looks like it was drawn by a machine. Bill Plympton animationdrawfeel Change image and share on social
If I'm really feeling good and not having a lot of interruptions, I can do a minute of animation a day, so theoretically, I could do a film in three months without any interruptions. Bill Plympton animationdayfelt Change image and share on social
America is behind Europe and Japan in terms of accepting adult ideas in animation. Bill Plympton acceptadultamerica Change image and share on social
I don't see why it's such a stretch for distributors, buyers, and studios to put cartoon characters into adult situations on film. Bill Plympton adultbuyercartoon Change image and share on social
I'm very happy with the success of short films. In fact, for me, the short films make more money than the features. Bill Plympton factfeaturefilm Change image and share on social
People used to want to be filmmakers and animators; now they want to make apps. Bill Plympton animatorappfilmmaker Change image and share on social
I'm not as successful as Pixar or Dreamworks, and that is disappointing to me, because I think my films are as valid as a Pixar film. I think there's an audience for my films. I know there's a market for someone like Quentin Tarantino, who basically does adult cartoons in live action. Bill Plympton actionadultaudience share on social
I love Pixar films; I think they're the greatest filmmakers in the world. I love Disney films. 'Tangled,' was great. I loved 'How to Train Your Dragon,' the Dreamworks film. But it's not for me. I don't want to make a film for families; I want to make adult films. Bill Plympton adultdisneydragon share on social
