I think, if I had a big flop, that probably it would have ended the string at Disney, but it didn't! Every film was a success.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Making a big commercial movie is hard when you think about how many of them flop.
If you have a flop movie, so what? And if you have a hit movie, it's 'so what,' too - it's on to the next movie.
And as a filmmaker, I'm trying to unhook myself from this idea that unless you have a brilliant, long, enormously lucrative theatrical run, that your movie somehow failed. And I don't believe that.
I think 'The Lost World' could've been a successful movie except for the fact that it pre-dated the good special effects and computer graphics.
I thought if I was lucky it would be a nice, modest-sized, modest-budgeted film that would be a modest success. And then something happened.
I'll be a flop in movies. Besides, I don't like 'em, and I never did believe there was a place called Hollywood. Somebody made it up!
After I was fired from Disney, I did some of the worst movies ever made.
We are Disney, in a sense. When you've been there for 20 years, there's a certain heart and soul to one of those films, and you inhabit that to a certain degree. So if it feels true to you, then your audience will hopefully go for it.
Success is not something I've wrapped my brain around. If people go to those movies, then yes, that's true, big-time success. If not, it's much ado about nothing.
I always wanted to do a Disney movie.
