Quote:
"I don't like the automatic pairing of virtue and beauty in fairy tales and Disney films. I have never had a desire to do that kind of animation. Disney would have put penguins in Antarctica. I kept them in medieval England. Penguins are perfect for Cinderella because she was beautiful and good, while her sisters were ugly and bad. If everyone was a penguin [...] then they'd all be just birds."
