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.

You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.

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
Image
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.

Humor is the easiest to achieve the 'heart' is always the toughest, because you can't tell people to feel a certain way.

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

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

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.

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

The art challenges the technology, and the technology inspires the art.

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

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.
