auto design early french love
I love French auto design of the early '50s, '60s, early '70s of Citorens, Renaults, and Peugeots. They're so unique.
came mediocre pixar proud reviews
I'm really proud of 'Cars.' 'Cars,' when it first came out, got probably the most mediocre reviews of a Pixar film.

I laugh very hard at work every day.
car father manager parts
I'm a car nut. My father was a parts manager at a Chevrolet dealership.
I'm a big fan of pantomime storytelling, being an animator.

I love working for a company full of geeks.
films great love neighbor work
I love the work of Hayao Miyazaki. 'My Neighbor Totoro' and 'Castle in the Sky' are two of the great films that he's made that I just love.

I love the Sonoma wine community. It's like Pixar - nothing competitive, only supportive. They're always rooting for you.
ancient coming cool love modern worlds
I love Japan. I love the collision of the modern and ancient worlds coming together in that place. It's so high-tech and cool.
beauty disney fairy quite since sincere tale understood
I never quite understood why Disney hadn't made a sincere fairy tale since 'Beauty and the Beast.'
In an animated film you can do whatever you want, but that doesn't mean you should do everything you want.
I try to make pictures I would want to see.
head physical presence remains turn
Take any movie with an actor you like. Turn your head and just listen to the performance. In some cases, the physical presence remains as strong when you can't see the actor, when it's just the voice.

The Walt Disney Animation studio is the studio that Walt Disney started himself in 1923, and it's never stopped and never closed its doors and never stopped making animation, and it keeps going as kind of the heart and soul of the company.
