The Whole Point Of Making A Film

Animation Had Been Used Only For Things Like King Kong And The Destruction Of Cities, Which Was Very Popular In The 1950s. I Got Tired Of Destroying Cities. I Destroyed New York, I Destroyed San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, Rome, And Washington. I Was Looking For A New Outlet, And I Came Across The Sinbad Legends.

With All The Hype That Computer Graphics Has Been Getting, Everybody Thinks There's Nothing Better Than Cgi, But I Do Get A Lot Of Fan Mail Saying They Prefer Our Films To Anything With Cgi In It. I'm Grateful For That, And We Made Them On Tight Budgets, So They Were Considered B-pictures Because Of That. And, Now Here We Are, And They've Outlasted Many So-called A-pictures.

Medusa Was Fascinating To Work With Because I Gave Her A Snake's Body So That She Could Pull Herself With Her Hands Which Gave Her A Very Creepy Aura. I Didn't Want To Animate Cosmic Gowns. Most Medusas You See In The Classics Have Flowing Robes Which Would Be Mad To Even Try To Animate.

You Could Believe That Sinbad Could Fight A Skeleton Because That's From A Period In The Past, A Magical Period. But If You Had James Bond Fighting A Skeleton, It'd Be Almost Comical.

I Know Pretty Well In The Broad Sense What I'm Going To Do, Because I Have To Know That When We Shoot The Live-action, So That It'll Synchronize. Then I Know Pretty Well When I Get To The Animation Stage, What That Scene Requires.
