This is the story, this is your character, I have the sense of the landscape, I have the sense of the scene, I have all that stuff. But I'm also looking for something else to happen, an accident or something. You're focused on the story you intend to tell and then you have to have a peripheral net out to catch these accidents.

I think that kids can handle a lot more than we give them credit for, especially when it comes to the absurd. Gore Verbinski absurdboxcredit share on social

My respect for animation has gone way up. It's a truckload of work. I have to sit with my animators the same way I'd sit with my actors and cast them. Gore Verbinski actoranimationanimator Change image and share on social
