There is such amazing talent at Disney. My job is 100% creative, and I am very excited to creatively lead them.

People who get into animation tend to be kids. We don't have to grow up. But also, animators are great observers, and there's this childlike wonder and interest in the world, the observation of little things that happen in life.

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

When you make these films, they become like your children. But at a certain point, they don’t belong to you anymore; they belong to the world.

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.

One of the big technical advances that's really great looking is the water.

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