"In the design process we usually start with a conception of the character from the imagination. And once we actually attach a voice to it and hire the actor and start recording that actor, then the lead animator of that character takes on that character and literally starts to work with it and define it and refocus it. And a lot of times they are so influenced by the look of the actor that it can't help but manifest itself in the final design."
