'Cars' was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward.

I'm the biggest fan of animation. I love the history of animation, I know it well.

Sure, they were simple desk lamps with only a minimal amount of movement, but you could immediately tell that Luxo Jr. was a baby, and that the big one was his mother. In that short little film, computer animation went from a novelty to a serious tool for filmmaking.

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

You can achieve all the things you want to do, but it's much better to do it with loved ones around you; family and friends, people that you care about that can help you on the way and can celebrate you, and you can enjoy the journey.

People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.

Humor is the easiest to achieve; the 'heart' is always the toughest, because you can't tell people to feel a certain way.
