Quotes

  • They had the voiceover locked, but very little else. I had the freedom to explore how Max looked and how he moved. We wanted him to feel ridiculously cool, not just a talking shoe.
  • I'd never been one to avoid drawing hands, but I hadn't exactly drawn thousands either. We experimented with floating hands, gloved hands, and morphing hands.
  • It was the first time I'd done anything like this, and the thought of it made me pretty nervous.
  • The goal wasn't to make something polished and beautiful but to have fun and hope that joy showed through.
  • Sometimes, saying yes to something terrifying leads to the best kind of chaos.
