„I draw a lot of little lines on the sound-track area of the 35mm film. Maybe fifty to sixty lines for every musical note. The number of strokes to the inch controls the pitch of the note: the more, the higher the pitch; the fewer, the lower is the pitch. The size of the stroke controls the loudness: a big stroke will go ‚boom,’ a smaller stroke will give a quieter sand, and the faintest stroke will be jest a little ‚m-m-m.’ (…) By drawing or exposing two or more patterns on the same bit of film, I can create harmony and textural effects.” 
Animation takes a lot of hard, tedious work and with this quote, the author illustrates how the person in charge of  animation has to put a lot of effort in order to make all the effects necessary to create an effective piece of animation. Throughout the years, animation has evolved from simple, experimental pieces to big-budgeted movie blockbusters that earn millions of dollars at the box office. When talking about the animation, one cannot forget to mention one of the most successful movie studios, so different from the rest, so bold and innovative – Pixar. The movie studio successfully links all the necessary elements that are required to create an effective animation feature film. After all, this company is a pioneer when it comes to computer animation – by releasing “Toy Story” it practically started a new era of entertainment, stimulating the competition to step up their game. The success can not only be measured by the amount of money earned, but also through numerous awards and recognition from the industry experts. The animation world is getting more and more complex, competitive and costly for the film studios, but also more diverse and interesting for us consumers. As for me, I am excited for the future of animation and cannot wait what happens next.
