foot great grounding keeps rotten tomatoes
Rotten Tomatoes is such a great website, in that it has one foot in the Internet world and one foot in the cinema world, and it keeps its grounding between them just perfectly.
great sequels
At Pixar, we do sequels only when we come up with a great idea, and we always strive to be different than the original.
great
I was mentored by great Disney animators at the end of their careers.
alone audience entertain films good great service
The way the films look will never entertain an audience alone. It has to be in the service of a good story with great characters.

You never hear of a live-action studio that has been making so-so films looking over at a studio that's making great movies and going, 'Oh, we see the difference - we're using a different camera.'

I never understood why you wouldn't start designing a ride when you start making a film so two months after a film comes out you have a ride. I promise you we are not only going to make great motion pictures we are going to make great rides.

animated animation arts collection computer diverse division festival films fine palace saw time work
When I started work with LucasArts Computer Division back in 1984, I went to the Palace of Fine Arts and saw the Festival of Animation for the first time. I loved the diverse collection of animated films the festival held.
I've noticed with my own kids, it seems like they have so much more homework than I did.
blah cost creatively hardest heard manage managing people
I've often heard people say that managing creative people is the hardest thing in the world. 'They're never happy, they drive up the cost of things, blah blah blah.' I just manage people the way I always wanted to be managed. That is, to be creatively challenged, but never to be told what to do.
absolutely influences love point specific villains
The specific influences on villains to me is, I love the villains who are really hyper-smart. When at the end of the movie you find out what they were about, and it makes absolutely perfect sense from their point of view.
