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.
kids world littles
I always felt a little bit like a little kid that's never grown up in the world of adults.
real people world
People have a real love of looking at small worlds - something inside them is innately attracted to that 'miniature' realm.
children world film
When you make these films, they become like your children. But at a certain point, they don’t belong to you anymore; they belong to the world.
creating world film
Pixar films are not realistic. They are believable for the worlds we are creating.
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.
hard work
I laugh very hard at work every day.

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.

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.

I never quite understood why Disney hadn't made a sincere fairy tale since 'Beauty and the Beast.'
