Ralph Bakshi Quotes

The rise of anime had to happen. If the Japanese could tell better American stories, it would go through the roof. They still tell stories which are very much oriental. I take my hat off to them Picture Quote #1

I animated 20 years at Terry Toons. It’s important to know that animators like pizza and a raise once in a while, and you’ve got to treat them with love Picture Quote #1

I had the X rating on my films. Now they do as much on The Simpsons as I got an X rating for Fritz the Cat Picture Quote #1

I thought I had the rights to the Lord of the Rings. I don’t know how Jackson ended up with the rights Picture Quote #1

I would like to have the original ending to my Lord of the Rings instead of the one they released. In my original cut I had the victory at Helm’s Deep as the final sequence Picture Quote #1

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of God and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children Picture Quote #1

Wizards was my homage to Tolkien in the American idiom. I had read Tolkien, understood Tolkien, and wanted to do a sort of fantasy for American kids, and that was Wizards Picture Quote #1

The art of cartooning is vulgarity. The only reason for cartooning to exist is to be on the edge. If you only take apart what they allow you to take apart, you’re Disney.
