You're just putting words in my mouth now, and following an analogy I did not make. That depends on the visionary of the project and how much creative freedom he gives to other members of the staff. There are directors who do, and then again there are also directors who control every aspect of the production, like Miyazaki.

I was only talking about the average animator, the majority of animators. They just do grunt work by dictation. In the process of making a film/TV series/etc. they are involved as craftsmen, not as creators. This is the stance I am taking.
