I like how he says that you have to relate to your character and understand them to make them "real".

I think that's some of the best advice for an artist, ever!

I think this is one of the reasons why I (visually) like traditional Disney Animations more than the "advanced" animations of Studio Ghibli: the soul and emotive expressions of the characters' faces and actions are missing from the latter. With the anime style of studio ghibli, it's hard to emote facial expressions, and with the realistic body proportions they use, it's hard to exaggerate movement. Ghibli does have more mature themes, but disney animations are more incredible to watch

Ollie's drawings are breathtaking. I can't even believe one man drew them. I desperately wish I could draw like that.

Oh my gosh! I totally know what he's talking about when he says: "Squashes and stretches" and the "forms are so pliable" .

I try to achieve that in my drawings...like try to give my characters a sort of spirit.

I always look up to Glen Keane when I learn to draw. I really hope I get to meet him someday.
