More quotes by John Lasseter
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.
John Lasseter
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
There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them.
John Lasseter
Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.
John Lasseter
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
If you can think about it, you can create it.
John Lasseter
The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.
John Lasseter
At Pixar, after every movie we have postmortum meetings where we discuss what worked and what didn't work.
John Lasseter
Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.
John Lasseter
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.
John Lasseter
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.
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.
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.
John Lasseter
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
People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.
John Lasseter
I believe in the nobility of entertaining people and I take great, great pride that people are willing to give me two or three hours of their busy lives.
John Lasseter
I think the painted backgrounds in animations are absolutely stunningly beautiful. There's something really special about this medium. I don't believe audiences have grown past it. I think what audiences love is to be entertained-thoroughly, deeply entertained, and that's what I've always set out to do.
John Lasseter
'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.
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.
John Lasseter
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.
