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.

More quotes by John Lasseter
To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.
John Lasseter
I always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.
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
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.
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
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've got Disney blood running through my veins.
John Lasseter
What's fun about the story development at Pixar is it's a journey. You don't just write a script and then that's the movie you make. It's just constant evolution and being open to that and that collaboration with the voice actors and with the artists and animators at Pixar.
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
Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.
John Lasseter
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.
John Lasseter
I love the villains who are really hyper-smart. When at the end of the movie you find out what they were about, and it makes absolutely perfect sense from their point of view.
John Lasseter
You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.
John Lasseter
The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.
John Lasseter
One of the fun things about play is making up stories.
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
When I look at the success I have, it's because of my creative thinking skills.
John Lasseter
You can achieve all the things you want to do, but it's much better to do it with loved ones around you family and friends, people that you care about that can help you on the way and can celebrate you, and you can enjoy the journey.
John Lasseter
There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them.
John Lasseter
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.'
John Lasseter
