real thinking names
Without naming names, I think other movies look more realistic but they feel less real.
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.
thinking next pixar
I think it's the most extraordinary studio around. I would love to do my next project with Pixar.
thinking hands animation
I absolutely think that hand-drawn animation is valid and I actually hope to do one in the future with a large budget.
moving thinking space
I think if you have a really big, heavy person, there's a feeling of an invisible puppeteer jerking them around in space. They don't feel like they are moving themselves.
dream thinking pie
I think the industry tends to like to think in the narrow sort of mindset of a businessman, and businessman absolutes, and movies really exist in a much grayer region of dreams and stuff like that, and instinct is prized in movies, it's not prized with the businessmen in movies, but movies themselves often reward instinct rather than pie charts.
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,
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.
