'harry Potter' Created A Generation Of Readers

'harry Potter' Created A Generation Of Readers In An Era When Kids Could Have Disappeared Into The Depths Of The Internet. That's No Small Feat. Every Book Series Owes J.k. Rowling A Debt Of Gratitude.

Really, Each Era Has Its Own False Nostalgia. We All Put A Picket Fence Up Around Something. For My Generation It Was The '50s, And For Other Generations It Will Be Something Else. Change Is Scary For Everyone, As Is Complexity, Contradiction, And An Uncertain Future.

Now, I Just Made An Animated Movie A Few Years Ago, 'the Tale Of Desperaux', And That Had Twelve Hundred Shots In It. Twelve Hundred Cg Shots Is A Pretty Big Plan.

I Have Some Favorites. I Love Chaplin; I Mean I Really Love Chaplin. I Just Think There's A Grace And An Elegance That's Almost Never Been Matched.

As A Writer And A Director, I Simply Don't Have The Time I Need To Write And Prep The Movie I Would Have Wanted To Make Because Of The Fixed And Tight Production Schedule.
