"All the old great companies were run by guys who knew what an animator meant, and guys who knew how to draw. All the companies today are run by executives"
- Ralph Bakshi
About this Quote
In this quote, Ralph Bakshi is highlighting the shift in the animation industry from the past to the present. He recommends that in the past, successful animation companies were led by individuals who had a deep understanding of the craft and were skilled in drawing. These leaders were able to get in touch with animators and guide them in developing quality work. Nevertheless, Bakshi argues that in today's animation industry, companies are mainly run by executives who may not have the very same level of knowledge and expertise in animation. This shift may have resulted in a detach between the leaders and the animators, possibly affecting the quality and creativity of animated projects.
