Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It's what you do with the medium.
John Lasseter
Image
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
Image
If you can think about it, you can create it.
John Lasseter

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.

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

I always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.
John Lasseter
Image
Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.
John Lasseter

The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.
John Lasseter
Image
To me, I would much rather be part of a healthy industry than being the only player in a dead industry. There are so many great artists out there. And the goal is to make great movies, you know? So to be successful, quality is the best business plan as I always say.

I do what I do because of Walt Disney - his films and his theme park and his characters and his joy in entertaining.

My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts

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
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
Image
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.
John Lasseter

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.
