Henry Selick Slams American Animation Biz
Director Henry Selick (Coraline and The Nightmare Before Christmas) states the obvious about the American animated feature industry:
“It’s too homogenous. It’s way too much the same. The films aren’t really that different one from the other. Despicable Me could have been made Pixar, by DreamWorks. It’s not a great time for feature animation if you want to do something even moderately outside the formula.”
