We make the kind of movies we like to watch. I love to laugh. I love to be amazed by how beautiful it is. But I also love to be moved to tears. There's lots of heart in our films.
From John Lasseter
When you take something that's inert, and through motion, give it life, make it appear to be alive, living, breathing thinking and having emotions, that's animation. But when you take something that's live-action, and move a part of it, that's a special effect.
People want to be creatively satisfied, and having fun is such an important part of that.
Short films really helped me develop as a story teller, animator, and as a director.
'Cars' is simply near and dear to my heart.
Every Pixar movie at one time was the worst motion picture ever made.
I have motor oil running through my veins.
I've noticed with my own kids, it seems like they have so much more homework than I did.
Pixar's short films convinced Disney that if the company could produce memorable characters within five minutes, then the confidence was there in creating a feature film with those abilities in story and character development.
Everything I do and everything Pixar does is based on a simple rule: Quality is the best business plan, period.
