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

At Pixar, after every movie we have postmortum meetings where we discuss what worked and what didn't work.

Image
Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.
John Lasseter
Image
To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.
John Lasseter

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

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.

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.

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?

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

Disney Infinity gives you the ability to be creative in a way that nobody's ever seen before.

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

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.

People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.
John Lasseter
Image
The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.
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.
