Replying to a redditor:

> (1) Most filmmakers don't flip between animated projects and live-action projects the way you've been able to. What has doing animation taught you about doing live-action, and vice-versa? (2) I loved "Cloudy" (I am 32 years old, incidentally) — such a funny, smart, rich take…

> our take on cloudy was originally a lot sillier and less emotional.  Amy Pascal taught us how to make it a lot more moving, and as a result it got a lot funnier.
