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

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.

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.

'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 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.

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.

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.

Soon I learned that the worse the puns and jokes, the funnier they could be, if you knew how to deliver them.
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.

I believe in research you cannot do enough research believability comes out of what's real.

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

When I look at the success I have, it's because of my creative thinking skills.

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