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.'

To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.

Your voice is worthwhile. Have faith in it.

Animation is the only thing I ever wanted to do in my whole life. I have no desire for live-action or anything else.

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

One of the fun things about play is making up stories.

Sure, they were simple desk lamps with only a minimal amount of movement, but you could immediately tell that Luxo Jr. was a baby, and that the big one was his mother. In that short little film, computer animation went from a novelty to a serious tool for filmmaking.
