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.

At Pixar, after every movie we have postmortum meetings where we discuss what worked and what didn't work.

In dire economic times, movies are relatively inexpensive entertainment for the whole family.

The closer you get to reality, the harder it is to make it look convincing to the audience. That's why I tend to make things [films] that are a little bit more caricature.

I have this saying. Quality is the best business plan. I believe so strongly in that.

Slice open one of my veins and cartoons will pour out; open another vein and you'll get a flood of motor oil.

I've got Disney blood running through my veins.
