I'm literally just putting quotes I like here to earn coral. I'm a fucking loser faggot, please kill me.
"Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children."
- Ralph Bakshi
"The point is, animation is not a genre. It is a method of storytelling. People are constantly analyzing it and miss-analyzing it as if it is a genre. It isn?t a genre. It can do horror films, it can do adult comedies if it wanted to, it could do fairy tales, it could do science fiction, it could do musicals, it could mystery, it can do anything."
-Brad Bird
"Our American children are for the most part normal children. They are bright children, but those who want to prohibit comic magazines seem to see dirty, sneaky, perverted monsters who use the comics as a blueprint for action.Perverted little monsters are few and far between. They don't read comics. The chances are most of them are in schools for retarded children.What are we afraid of? Are we afraid of our own children? Do we forget that they are citizens, too, and entitled to select what to read or do? We think our children are so evil, simple minded, that it takes a story of murder to set them to murder, a story of robbery to set them to robbery? Jimmy Walker once remarked that he never knew a girl to be ruined by a book. Nobody has ever been ruined by a comic."
- Will Gains
"I think it's normal for censorship to exsist. The first time the film [MIDORI] was screened, I chose an independent cinima, so I could be present at the screening. That way I could handle any problems which might arise. When we were preparing to release the film commercially, I gave a copy of the film to Eirin, the Japanese organization in charge of censorship and they reviewed it. From that day forward, 26 scenes were modified. Some were cut or masked, others we modified the audio. But, I could tell that wasn't enough. I'm censoring myself in Japan. I'm not showing Midori, that's how the situation stands, but personally, I accept this."
-Hiroshi Harada
"20 people died in a bus accident this past Mother's Day... I think we should stop riding buses in light of the incident. " - Tom Fulp (in response that the Newgrounds assassin mascot should be taken down because of the Columbine massacre)
"I'm not racist, I hate you all equally."
