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.

More quotes by John Lasseter
I always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.
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
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?
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
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
I believe in research you cannot do enough research believability comes out of what's real.
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
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.
John Lasseter
We make the kind of movies we like to watch. I love to laugh. I love to be amazed by how beautiful it is. But I also love to be moved to tears. There's lots of heart in our films.
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
The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.
John Lasseter
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.
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
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.
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.
John Lasseter
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
My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts
John Lasseter
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
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
One of the big technical advances that's really great looking is the water.
John Lasseter
