In computer animation, every detail has to be thought out, designed, modeled, shaded, placed and lit. The more you add, the more computer memory you need.

I believe in research you cannot do enough research; believability comes out of what's real.

You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.

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

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.

If you're sitting in your minivan, playing your computer animated films for your children in the back seat, is it the animation that's entertaining you as you drive and listen? No, it's the storytelling. That's why we put so much importance on story. No amount of great animation will save a bad story.
