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.'

More quotes by John Lasseter
This is what I always tell my filmmakers-you have to do tons of research, because you don't know where the inspiration is going come from.
John Lasseter
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.
John Lasseter
The hardest thing to get is true emotion. I always believe you need to earn that with the audience. You can't just tell them ok, be sad now. Humor, you can add. Even to the last minute you can be adding little bits of humor. But the true earned emotion is something that you really have to craft.
John Lasseter
If you can think about it, you can create it.
John Lasseter
Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.

Quality is the best business plan.
John Lasseter
I think that the entertainment industry and the entertainment press tends to focus on opening weekend box office as a measure of the success of a film and I think the true success is out there in people's homes and how much they absolutely love these characters.
John Lasseter
I have this saying. Quality is the best business plan. I believe so strongly in that.
John Lasseter
I love movies that make me cry, because they're tapping into a real emotion in me, and I always think afterwards How did they do that?
John Lasseter
You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.
John Lasseter
Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It's what you do with the medium.
John Lasseter
I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.
John Lasseter
My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts
John Lasseter
Disney Infinity gives you the ability to be creative in a way that nobody's ever seen before.
John Lasseter
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.
John Lasseter
I always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.
John Lasseter
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.
John Lasseter
Humor is the easiest to achieve the 'heart' is always the toughest, because you can't tell people to feel a certain way.
John Lasseter
Animation is the one type of movie that really does play for the entire audience. Our challenge is to make stories that connect for kids and adults.
John Lasseter
I believe in the nobility of entertaining people and I take great, great pride that people are willing to give me two or three hours of their busy lives.
