Humor is the easiest to achieve; the 'heart' is always the toughest, because you can't tell people to feel a certain way.
John LasseterYou cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.
John LasseterWe 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.
John LasseterI'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.
