I think the painted backgrounds in animations are absolutely stunningly beautiful. There's something really special about this medium. I don't believe audiences have grown past it. I think what audiences love is to be entertained-thoroughly, deeply entertained, and that's what I've always set out to do.

John LasseterI always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.
John LasseterI worry about kids today not having time to build a tree house or ride a bike or go fishing. I worry that life is getting faster and faster.
John LasseterYou have to do three things really well to make a successful film. You have to tell a compelling story that has a story that is unpredictable, that keeps people on the edge of their seat where they can't wait to see what happens next. You then populate that story with really memorable and appealing characters. And then, you put that story and those characters in a believable world, not realistic but believable for the story that you're telling.
