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 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.

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
Image
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.

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.

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.

I believe in research you cannot do enough research believability comes out of what's real.

I've got Disney blood running through my veins.

Every technology that comes into filmmaking is first a gimmick. Think about sound with 'The Jazz Singer' or the first colour or surround sound - it takes a while for filmmakers to understand how to use it.

Image
The more we all help each other, the more we all benefit. So go out there. Help others.

I always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.

One of the fun things about play is making up stories.

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
Image
People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.

Image
'Bambi' is an amazing film, and when you watch it today, it's just as beautiful. It's timeless. It's just as beautiful today as it was back then.

The spy genre is something I loved.It also extends to the bad guy because I think, to me, what I love the most about the spy genre is when you have a great bad guy. What makes a great bad guy, to me, is the logic. What he's about has to make sense to me, that if I was in his shoes, yeah, right, that makes sense.

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.

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