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

I've always loved animation it's the reason why I do what I do for a living - the films of Walt Disney. This art form is so spectacular and beautiful. And I never quite understood the feeling amongst animation studios that audiences today only wanted to see computer animation. It's never about the medium that a film is made in, it's about the story. It's about how good the movie is.

Sunday, for me, is all about being home with the family with no plans.

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

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.

'Cars' was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward.

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.
