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 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.

Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It's what you do with the medium.

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

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

There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them.

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 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.
