Every single Pixar film, at one time or another, has been the worst movie ever put on film. But we know. We trust our process. We don’t get scared and say, ‘Oh, no, this film isn’t working.’ Picture Quote #1

There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them Picture Quote #1

Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else Picture Quote #1

I quickly realized that this medium had a lot to offer someone like me. To do Disney-quality hand-drawn cartoons, you have to be a master of two art forms. Seriously, you have to be able to draw like a Leonardo da Vinci or a Michelangelo. But also you have to know movement and timing and control that through 24 frames a second Picture Quote #1

Sure, they were simple desk lamps with only a minimal amount of movement, but you could immediately tell that Luxo Jr. was a baby, and that the big one was his mother. In that short little film, computer animation went from a novelty to a serious tool for filmmaking Picture Quote #1

Walt Disney had always tried to get more dimension in his animation and when I saw these tapes, I thought, This is it! This is what Walt was waiting for! But when I looked around, nobody at the studio at the time was even halfway interested in it Picture Quote #1

My father pulled into Pearl Harbor four days after the bombing, and he said, everything was still burning. He said they never told the public how bad it was. It was really bad Picture Quote #1

To me, I would much rather be part of a healthy industry than being the only player in a dead industry. There are so many great artists out there. And the goal is to make great movies, you know? So to be successful, quality is the best business plan as I always say Picture Quote #1

‘Cars’ was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward Picture Quote #1

I think the painted backgrounds in animations are absolutely stunningly beautiful. There’s something really special about this medium. I don’t believe audiences have grown past it. I think what audiences love is to be entertained-thoroughly, deeply entertained, and that’s what I’ve always set out to do Picture Quote #1

To me, I would much rather be part of a healthy industry than being the only player in a dead industry Picture Quote #1

At Pixar, after every movie we have postmortum meetings where we discuss what worked and what didn’t work Picture Quote #1

What I love about Goofy is the flesh on his cheeks. You can almost feel it Picture Quote #1

Fortunately for me, I’m married to an amazing woman - Nancy Lasseter - who is wise enough not to let me buy every car I want. If I was single, I would be living in a very small apartment and renting a warehouse full of cool cars Picture Quote #1

When you really study espionage movies, or spy movies, the beginnings are really set up to have, like, an amazing bit of action, but at the moment you’re watching it, you have no idea why or what it’s about Picture Quote #1

If you’re sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that’s entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it’s the storytelling. That’s why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story Picture Quote #1

Every movie has three things you have to do - you have to have a compelling story that keeps people on the edge of their seats; you have to populate that story with memorable and appealing characters; and you have to put that story and those characters in a believable world. Those three things are so vitally important Picture Quote #1

My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts Picture Quote #1

If you’ve seen ‘Spirited Away’, ‘Spirited Away’ is set in a very, very Japanese sensibility. And so, to Japanese audiences, when Sen would walk up, the main character, and look at this big building with a flag on it with Japanese writing on it, everyone in Japan would know what that is Picture Quote #1

The greatest bad guys, you understand where they’re coming from. They believe they’re doing the right thing. Sometimes it’s for greed, sometimes it’s for other reasons, but they are what they call the center of good. They always believe they’re doing the right thing Picture Quote #1
