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.'

Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist.

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

Every animator is really an actor performing in slow motion, living the character a drawing at a time.

Pixar films are not realistic. They are believable for the worlds we are creating.

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.

Animation, for me, is a wonderful art form. I never understood why the studios wanted to stop making animation. Maybe they felt that the audiences around the world only wanted to watch computer animation. I didn't understand that, because I don't think ever in the history of cinema did the medium of a film make that film entertaining or not. What I've always felt is, what audiences like to watch are really good movies.
