When I look at the success I have, it's because of my creative thinking skills.
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?

In computer animation, every detail has to be thought out, designed, modeled, shaded, placed and lit. The more you add, the more computer memory you need.

You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.
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.

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.

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.

I realized that people make cartoons for a living. It had never dawned on me that you could do this as a career.

Quality is the best business plan.

A gem of a short film has a sense of pure joy in animation that is different from anything you see in a feature film.
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.

There’s never a wrong idea. You just keep throwing stuff out and inevitably there are elements of different things that inspire a character or environment.

I have this saying. Quality is the best business plan. I believe so strongly in that.

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.
