I didn't know any of these details about writing scripts for animated movies. I enjoyed watching some of the animated movies with my kids, e.g Pokemon, Toy Story and, of course, the Lion King. Thank you so much for this interview Andy and Film Courage!

There are a lot of inaccurate things said in this video about animation. Animation is not always more expensive than live action, it depends a lot. Unless you want to make a mediocre live action indie film, anime especially can be cheaper than most blockbuster Hollywood films. It doesn't help that most of Guerdat's work has been in animation for young children, compared to the likes of John Lasseter or Genndy Tartakovsky. It'd be more fitting if he talked more about Western animation or working at Disney than animation as a whole. One thing that is true that he said is that animation takes longer to make.

Its really cool looking up animation film budgets of the past from the 80s on up. Miyazaki's pre Ghibli Nausicaa film allegedly only had a 1 million dollar budget. Unfortunately, wiki is super unreliable & keeps warping what they say. For instance, i used to keep up with the budgets for Disney films from the 80s & 90s & just now noticed they are saying something they werent before(now theyre saying The Little Mermaid had a 40 million budget which is a huge lie & easy to spot when you note theyre saying Beauty & the Beast had a 25 million budget which is along the lines of what i remember over the years...& to add perspective, An American Tail is allegedly just under 10 million which is what i remember & The Lion King is around 45 million...of course some of the budget goes into voice actors & promotion but still you can tell where the error is).

Yeah, also 2D puppet animation can be cheaper than 3D.

A way animators are cutting costs today is hiring korean animators. Some of the best animation in american cartoons the last 2 decades has been thanks to korean animation studios. The Boondocks for example is done by koreans in the style of anime. You even see many korean names in Japanese anime for the same reason. Alot of these netflix animations are 80% or more korean animated(think Castlevania). Ive even noticed other asian nations attempting to do the same(providing very cheap but decent to amazing quality animation, usually as inbetweeners, 3D, & for high action scenes). The new X-Men 97 cartoon also has a Korean team they use to work at a budget. Watching Dragon Ball Z, it wasnt rare to see 4 different animator styles gelling together a single episode. You would get a very basic drawn 5 minute segment & then the next scene would look way cooler because a better animator did it & provided way better frames details wise. You easily noted the difference but now these Korean teams do a very good job of seamlessly keeping continuity. Japan is still the master though in budget techniques. Sailor Moon saved tons of money via looping the same reused animation for each super move & transformation every episode(which were so well animated that you looked forward to said scenes each episode). I also note between the 80s & mid 90s, american action cartoon intros always had better animation than the actual shows because they were animated by Japanese. This is why from Thundercats to X-Men, we were always given a super visual treat not unlike anime openings. Though it was a bummer to get lesser animation in the show, a lingering taste of hype remained that made you think well of the whole episode. Theres some great ones even for lesser known shows that werent so good like Ultra Force, Mega Man, & Skysurfer(all of which got me excited about animation as a kid). The 80s GI Joe the movie opening is uniquely epic. Partnering with Asia is really the way to go for budget & quality sake.

It would be my dream to write for animation. However, anime is the best kind of animation, but that’s obviously a job for a Japanese writer. Anime is far superior to Western animation. The next best thing would be an animated feature, but 2D animated films rarely get made anymore unless they are direct to video superhero films. I have no interest in writing for computer-generated films. It’s also unfortunate that most Western animation is targeted towards children. People don’t seem to realize that it can also be for adults. One of the reasons why The Hunchback of Notre-Dame is my favorite Disney animated film is that it was more adult than many of the others.

Anime movies are more boring than American animated films. American movies are still superior. But Anime has a nice art style. Also, most animated American films are made so the whole family can watch. They're not rated R but Adults can still watch and enjoy.

Anime seems to defy that logic rule. Death note is largely about big brain moves which involves copious amounts of exposition. Hunter x hunter is widely known and revered as the best anti shonen anime but there’s LOTS of talking. Gintama is another example where dialogue is necessary..

Animating dialog is probably more tedious and boring for the animator than it is the audience.

I completely disagree with what is said about animation here. Of course, he's only talking abiut Western animation. Eastern animation on the other hand can sometimes be 10x better than live action movies.

#FilmCourage --- Guerdat isn't telling the whole truth here: Less dialogue IS ALWAYS BETTER. Always: it allows for more "acting" (in other words, more action, more emotion, more interaction on different levels) in film and television. --- Either way, we have absolutely lost direction in script writing with this politically tilted generation. Until the greed subsides, we won't see art again. ---
