I didn't want to start acting like a cartoon
Tick is a cartoon character, I don't know if you're familiar with him. This is the third step in his evolution. Comic book to cartoon to, now, live-action.
I went to a catholic public school St Helens and learned English by watching bugs bunny cartoons.
At one time Tribune Syndicate emptied out their storeroom. They put tables full of original cartoons down in the lobby and said take one if you want one. The comics were simply a burden to them.
I've never really thought about competing with cartoons. If it ever gets to that point, then just shoot me.
For me, the question was, how can one take a live-action performance and put it in the parameter of one of those cartoons? How much can you get away with?
Kids cannot follow stories. They don't know what the hell is going on in a cartoon. They like to see funny visual things happening.
I have a personal definition of cartooning, which is, simply, "imaginative drawing." Anything you're drawing that is not in front of you but is a mental construct that you want to express in a drawing is, to me, a cartoon.
I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was young.
I grew up on comics and cartoons. So, as an adult, I like comics and cartoons.
I try to do much of the necessary alteration on the black and white [cartoons] rather than leave it to be done on the paintings.
The cartoon is a metaphor really for the fact that it's almost impossible in our celebrity obsessed culture to move around genres and sort of change you ideas, change your face, you know?
I can do a really high-pitched cartoon voice. Everybody always say they like that.
First of all, you look at Rocky films now, and if that isn't a cartoon series there isn't any cartoon series. I mean there's no way anybody is going to take that amount of punishment in fifteen rounds.
The only thing I ever wanted to be was a cartoonist. That's my Life. DRAWING.
I was very briefly under contract to Disney Animation, to develop ideas for animated features. They don't like you to use the word "cartoon" around there.
I probably would be continuing to do voice-overs, continuing to do cartoon shows, and at the same time I'd probably be on a sitcom or a dramatic television show.
George of the Jungle is a cartoon. He's a guy who swings around on a vine all day. Are you not buying that?
Advertising is not a rifle; it is a shotgun, and any campaign featuring outdoor boards of a cartoon animal inevitably will catch children in its spray.
Maybe we're just stupid and don't realize you can't make music that sounds like a chase scene from a 'Scooby Doo' cartoon and have people take you seriously.
When you work on anything, you want to find the range of impulses - which ones get portrayed is another question, but you want to have that complexity and that fullness, even if you're playing a cartoon character.
I'm a better editorial cartoonist by default because so many editorial cartoonists out there are so awful.
The way people love sci-fi is how I love cartoons.
I used to draw cartoons. I'd just show them to some of my friends, expecting that they were going to appreciate them, that they were going to enjoy reading them.
