Ollie Johnston quotes:

The shapes and markings of Felix and Mickey, perhaps more than Oswald, have similarities, but when you are using such simple basic construction (i.e. circles) there is bound to be such duplication.

Youâ??re not supposed to animate drawings. Youâ??re supposed to animate feelings.

I thought of the character being real, a living person, not a drawing.

Don't animate drawings, animate feelings.
