Should movies like Avatar and Gravity be classified as animated films? Most of the characters in Avatar were animated, and everything except for the actors' faces and like two or three other shots in Gravity were animated.
That's a very tricky question. But no, even though both films are "animated" in one sense, the approach to filmmaking is totally different. I think you have a valid case but I personally wouldn't call either film animated.
If you had to make a film to be pure oscar bait who would star and would would be the general premise?
I'd just get Meryl Streep and make it a drama, preferably one where she can have an accent, and maybe something related to a real life historical figure.

Would you mind giving a few reasons why you're not into South Park?
I don't like the style of comedy at all. I also don't like the voices, or the characters, or the animation. So, pretty much everything. It's just not for me.
I've started watching Toonami since Oct 2013 (BUT I FUCKING LOVE IT), but whats an total immersion event?
I'd suggest checking out the Toonami wiki for the answer to that! Thanks.

Will Leonardo DiCaprio ever win an Oscar?
I feel certain he will.
Did you ever wish there was a good movie awards show? Ex: A way better version of the Oscars?
It would be nice, but if I'm being honest I have to say I don't really like awards shows period. Would probably be impossible to make one I liked.
How many people were in your theatre when you saw The Wind Rises? I saw it opening weekend at the cheap show and it was just me and one other person in the whole theatre :(
Wasn't too crowded when I saw it. Not a crowd pleaser like FROZEN I guess.
What do you think of the Annie Awards?
I think any awards that celebrate animation are a positive thing.

Do you foresee an animated movie ever winning Best Picture, or will Hollywood continue to see animation incorrectly as a genre that's always vastly inferior to live-action?
They'll always ghetto-ize animation, I think.
What should have won Best Animated Feature in your opinion?
THE WIND RISES.

What is your opinion of the Oscars, and how much do you feel they matter?
I don't think they matter in the long run. I think they matter in the short run quite a bit, as far as what they can do for other movies financially.
I know you cant talk much about it but how are this years Singles looking ?
REALLY REALLY GOOD. I'M SO EXCITED.
Have you seen this article on ignorance among academy voters (specifically when it comes to animation) and what is your opinion on it? I didn't know voting worked like this. http://www.cartoonbrew.com/award-season-focus/definitive-proof-that-academy-voters-are-ignorant-about-animation-96680.html
I have seen it. It's obvious to me they're ignorant about animation, which is why FROZEN won!
What would you say were you're biggest problems with frozen? I'm not mad, Just curious!
I think FROZEN had strong female characters, which is great, but the story was just sort of nonsense, and I never felt like anything was really at stake at any point. Hated the "we're in love but wait no we really weren't" ballad and most of the bullshit showtune-y songs. It's a solid piece of Disney entertainment, but its ambition is so low as compared to a couple of the other contenders for best animated film this year...

Can you explain your disdain for the oscars?
Sure! Basically, Academy voters are overwhelmingly white men over the age of 60. Therefore, they vote much the same as your grandparents might (unless you have particularly cool grandparents). This voting bloc almost never seeks out the hard to find films, or the more challenging/forward thinking ones (and these worst of films are the kind that push the art into better places, to me). They are mostly marketed to by studios, who give them free screenings (or screeners) and remind them to look at whatever films their marketing departments are pushing. They have a tendency to award old white men (and young white women) in acting categories, whether or not the awards are deserved. The way they allow countries to select their own submissions for best foreign film mean that countries like China and Iran, where some of the greatest filmmakers are dissidents or working in secret, instead submit state-sponsored films. Beyond that, getting into the broadcast, the Award show itself is easily one of the most bloated, slow-moving, thoughtless exercises in television today. Very little spontaneity or genuine moments are allowed to fit in-between the musical numbers, pointless montages, and bad jokes. Any true movie lover has to come to grips with the idea that the Oscars aren't really going to reflect what's "best" in film, much of the time.

Outside of a few outliers, CG-animated TV series as a whole aren't the best-looking things. Do you think the move to the format for theatrical productions will ever reach a quality level on TV where it doesn't come off as low-rent on any sort of consistent basis?
Good CG is very costly to create because CG is inherently time consuming and requires a lot of manpower. I don't think we'll ever see a time when CG shows look as good as CGI films do, to be honest.
have you seen the documentary "life after pi"? it's about the state of the vfx industry and how it's kinda falling apart. it's on youtube, it's 30 minutes long, and it's very interesting.
I've seen it. It's something I already know a decent amount about from my friends in the vfx industry, but yeah it sucks.
Do you still have a stuffed animal? Be honest.
Yes of course, I have a few!
