annoyed millions people tomorrow watched
I don't know what's more frightening, being watched by millions of people, or the hundreds of people that are going to be annoyed with me tomorrow for not mentioning them,
thinking people trying
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
hard-work people harder
But I don't just see the movie when I see the movie, I see all the great people who worked on it and all their hard work, because they could not have worked any harder.
interesting people come-up
If there are similarities, it's simply because the same thoughts that occurred to other people also occurred to me. I'd be astonished if anyone could come up with any truly original powers that were at all interesting any more.
hands people done
The problem is that every time people have deviated from the Disney playbook in hand-drawn animation, they've done so with staff that are nowhere near Disney-level talent or Disney-level budgets.
real thinking names
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
pixar yeah stills
Oh yeah, I'm still employed at Pixar and I love it here.
moving boys government
Ten-year-old boys move differently than middle-aged women, who move differently than athletic guys, who move differently than government bureaucrats.
dream impossible pursue
We all have impossible dreams and we do what we can to pursue them...
ego assistants bigs
Oh, I'm just Ego's assistant. It's not anything big.
enthusiasm
I admit I'm enthusiastically demanding.
drawing goal als
When caricaturist, Al Hirschfeld, did a drawing of a celebrity, it often looked more like the person than the person did. That's our goal in animation.
funny hands feet
Well what's funny is, again, people say they believed what was going on, but again, Bob's hands are about three times bigger than his feet. So these are very caricatured.
buying cottages benefits
You're buying for the benefit of the cottage experience at a fraction of the price.
