Every technology that comes into filmmaking is first a gimmick. Think about sound with 'The Jazz Singer' or the first colour or surround sound - it takes a while for filmmakers to understand how to use it.
From John Lasseter
I love Japan. I love the collision of the modern and ancient worlds coming together in that place. It's so high-tech and cool.
'Cars 2' is about a character learning to be himself. There's times in our lives where people always say, 'Well, you've gotta act differently. You should always be yourself.' That's the emotional core of the story.
I'm a big fan of pantomime storytelling, being an animator.
I never quite understood why Disney hadn't made a sincere fairy tale since 'Beauty and the Beast.'
Nobody pays attention to the way a person's shirt folds around his shoulder when they sit down, but if that shirt folded in an unusual way, you'd notice it.
I love working for a company full of geeks.
When I started work with LucasArts Computer Division back in 1984, I went to the Palace of Fine Arts and saw the Festival of Animation for the first time. I loved the diverse collection of animated films the festival held.
For me, personally, I will always do G-rated films, which the world needs more of.
Pixar has been compared to fine furniture makers who polish the backs of drawers - even if you don't see everything in a particular scene, you still feel that every little detail has been met.
