To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.
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.

Directing is one of my favourite things to do because I love telling stories and I love working with the individual artists and it's something that I really missed.
John Lasseter
Image
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.

There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them.
John Lasseter
Image
You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.
John Lasseter
Image
Disney Infinity gives you the ability to be creative in a way that nobody's ever seen before.
John Lasseter
Image
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
Image
Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It's what you do with the medium.
John Lasseter
Image
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
Image
The more we all help each other, the more we all benefit. So go out there. Help others.
John Lasseter
Image
The closer you get to reality, the harder it is to make it look convincing to the audience. That's why I tend to make things [films] that are a little bit more caricature.

One of the big technical advances that's really great looking is the water.
