Why Animators Should "Make it Funnier"

On the set of "Robots" at Blue Sky Studios, Fox Animation studio head Chris Meledandri always seemed to give the same note to the animators and the story team: "make it funnier".  Chris always wanted more jokes, more comedy, more entertainment.  

"Make it funnier" is not a bad note. As they say in Hollywood, "funny is money". Animators should always remember that at the end of the day we are working in the entertainment industry; once we have mastered the body mechanics and the technical skills to make our characters move convincingly, we have to give a great performance, make our work fun to watch. 

In the end, audiences don't care that much about technical skills - they just want to be entertained.
