■ The birth father Baba
Before the interview Baba father, friend Baibing account, do not ask Da Lusi Taylor's wife, Anna Te. But in the interview process, An Nate's name was frequently mentioned Taylor. He even shook hands solemnly and reporters, asked to write the text "An Nate is a creative genius."
An Nate, is "Baba Dad" series of partners, had just passed away earlier this year. "We created when my father Baba, is a small team of two people. Team leader there, and there are attendant and I was attendant even my awareness, that is, by Anna Te impact of this point, it has penetrated into Baba went to his father's creation. "
Initially, children's books is An Nate wants.
In 1968, there was a revolution in Paris. An old cafe in Paris, architect An Nate and friends often discuss the current situation. On one occasion, French is not very good Dalu Si went along, but could not get something, so in the corner coffee shop, painting is readily.

"Baba father" of the prototype was born. "I paint one, handed Anna Te; An Nate and then draw one, handed back. Painted each other play."
Initially, the two of them no one would like to draw on the tablecloths full of "cotton candy villain children" will walk into their creation, even thought the future would be to the world. Two or three months later, they came up with the discussion of children's books, suddenly remembered the piece of tablecloth full of "cotton candy villain children." "Around a small baby, Anna Te niece children, we think she is difficult to draw Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, but a few strokes of a villain tick children, will make her feel I could draw, likely to have resonance."
In the 1970s, "Baba Papa" animated series introduced by the United States, but because of the color's sake, be unable to play.

■ About Technology and Art
Of "Baba father" sold a few years, the secret Taylor classified as "emotional place." "There are a lot of big production, manpower and more money and more, but they will become the art assembly line work, while we do not. Creative team of only two people, me and my wife from the beginning of the draft to the final shape are two people do. early years, many people are doing things, for example, Charlie Chaplin could do the film himself, so that a small team, good, we created a small animal smile when he would smile . a large team responsible for painting that link does not receive a clear will, he is afraid to let small animals smile. "
Rumors "Baba Papa" is being made into 3D animation version. "Advantages of 3D technology will be adopted, but will the pursuit of 2D visual effects and our readers the main age group is 2-5 years old, that age is not suitable for children to get 3D glasses to see things, to our eyes To lose a lot of color good movies do not need 3D to packaging. tech support is a cartoon, but not as dominant. "including Taylor, including his son, the production team, only 10 people.
Taylor said: "The core of all artistic creation, or emotional. A work, if it is the core technique, may be outdated, because of technical upgrading at any time, but if the core is emotional, this is not the same, good feelings is connected from generation to generation, which is why reading "Baba father" of the first generation of readers and viewers, let their children watch, the second wave will be even more even than the first wave of surging, soon a third wave up.
