Pete Docter Quotes

Work hard! In the end, passion and hard work beats out natural talent Picture Quote #1
Yeah, to bring families together I need to go away Picture Quote #1
Monsters,’ everybody has the thought of monsters in your closet as a kid, and more importantly, the idea of becoming a parent. We’re always kind of looking for those emotional nuggets. They’re always at the heart of the story Picture Quote #1
There’s something really emotional about not having any sound. That allows, I think, the audience to participate more actively and kind of imagine what are they talking about there? Picture Quote #1
You have to think about good storytelling and characters first. Then hopefully, the rest of that stuff will follow, some more than others. But if you don’t have a good film and strong characters, then you don’t have anything down the road Picture Quote #1
I love to go to the airports and just put on, like, dark glasses, so nobody can tell I’m staring at them, and just draw people Picture Quote #1

Any great movie you watch has some element of darkness or loss or some suffering in it. That’s what makes the fun parts fun Picture Quote #1
I made tons of films. I did animation for my friends’ films. I animated scenes just for the fun of it. Most of my stuff was bad, but I had fun, and I tried everything I knew to get better Picture Quote #1
I remember as a kid having a balloon and accidentally letting the string go and watching it just float off and into the sky until it disappeared. And there’s something about that, even, that feels very much like what life is, you know, that it’s fleeting, and it’s temporal Picture Quote #1
The way we work at Pixar is we write the script, but then we quickly move on into story reel, which is basically like a comic-book version of the film. And then we do our own dialogue and music and sound effects, all in an effort to be able to basically sit in the theater and watch the movie before we shoot it, essentially Picture Quote #1
In-between’ is sort of - an animator does the key poses. He’ll do extremes, you know, like a character reaching out for a glass of water and then another one of him drinking. And the in-betweener has to do all the drawings that goes between those two. You know it could be 12, 23 whatever in-betweens Picture Quote #1
Parents don’t want their children to lose that purity and innocence of childhood. We want to bottle that and hold onto that, but it’s impossible Picture Quote #1

I think, in Japan, animation isn’t relegated to being a genre unto itself. It’s just a medium by which you can tell any number of stories, be it horror or action or adventure or drama or whatever, and we’re trying to do that as well. Every film that you go see from Pixar, we’re hoping is a little bit of a surprise Picture Quote #1
Well, we try to - we definitely try to have a balance. And I think things have gotten a lot better at Pixar. When we did Toy Story, that was an all hands on deck situation that really was time intensive Picture Quote #1
The drive of the story is sort of hinted at the beginning, is Joy and Sadness and those two characters. Especially Joy starting to understand that there’s more to life than being happy. And so that’s based on real life observations and things that we’ve learned as adults Picture Quote #1
They’re expecting us to make mistakes, and they’ve set up a process that allows us to correct for that and do it again and iterate. So I think that’s a real key to the films that we’ve made Picture Quote #1
And in part that’s good but then, like any emotion - and this is something we learned from the research as well - there are positive and negative aspects to all of these Picture Quote #1
My father was working on his Ph.D. on Danish choral music - the Danish choral music of Carl Nielsen - so over there to do research Picture Quote #1

So this idea of moving seemed like a good way to sort of represent that metaphorically. It also is something for me personally. When I was in fifth grade - so about 11 - my folks moved us to Denmark Picture Quote #1
One of the other experts we consulted with, this guy named Dacher Keltner, he was big on sadness as community bonding - I think is the word he used Picture Quote #1
And as I was sort of doodling, I was thinking, surprise and fear - probably fairly similar so let’s just lose surprise. And that left us with five Picture Quote #1
When I was in middle school, I liked to make cartoons Picture Quote #1
In the end, passion and hard work beats out natural talent Picture Quote #1
It’s like you run into this dark tunnel, trusting that somewhere there’s another end to it where you’re going to come out. And there’s a point in the middle where it’s just dark. There’s no light from where you came in and there’s no light at the other end; all you can do is keep running. And then you start to see a little light, and a little more light, and then, bam! You’re out in the sun Picture Quote #1
