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.

We make the kind of movies we like to watch. I love to laugh. I love to be amazed by how beautiful it is. But I also love to be moved to tears. There's lots of heart in our films.

I think that the entertainment industry and the entertainment press tends to focus on opening weekend box office as a measure of the success of a film and I think the true success is out there in people's homes and how much they absolutely love these characters.

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.

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

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