Frank and Ollie on character

Frank and Ollie "Too Funny For Words"

"When personalities became this sharply defined, story ideas were needed that gave the characters a chance to do things that revealed who they were and how entertaining they could be."

"Never load up a picture with logic. Grab the audience's interest first, the best way to do that is with laughter."

"when the audience knew more then the pursuing hero about what the villain was doing, suspense and apprehension were created"

"an incident that was basically comic in the first place became hilarious with the addition of emotional tension."

every character should have his own approach to the world and challenges, physically torturing Mickey would not be funny but torturing Donald might, give them obstacles that bring out the entertainment for their personality
