The more we all help each other, the more we all benefit. So go out there. Help others.

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

My mother was a high school arts teacher, so I was always surrounded by the arts

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

I've got Disney blood running through my veins.

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.

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.
