The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography.

Steve Raves About Kung Fu Panda
“I believe Kung Fu Panda was the most innovative mainstream animated feature to be released since Toy Story but, outside of animators, very few people would agree. On my first day at work after viewing it, I commiserated with the co-workers who had seen it, and we were amazed at what the Kung Fu Panda team were able to pull off. Stretch and squash is a cornerstone of animation, but it’s so difficult to achieve in computer animation that for most of their films Pixar have used characters with limited pliability, if only to work within the supposed restrictions of the medium. I still remember seeing traditional animator Brad Bird demonstrate to Pixar staff, many of whom had only ever worked within the narrow parameters of computer animation, that with enough effort they could push things even further. With Kung Fu Panda, Dreamworks shattered those barriers and made it look fantastic.”
