I'm always impressed with the work of animators. You have to be able to draw the scenes in between movements. — Akira Toriyama
Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. — Walt Disney
Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist. — John Lasseter
Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world. — Walt Disney
What's most important in animation is the emotions and the ideas being portrayed. I'm a great believer of energy and emotion. — Ralph Bakshi
Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation. — Walt Disney
Animation is about creating the illusion of life. And you can't create it if you don't have one. — Brad Bird
Every single Pixar film, at one time or another, has been the worst movie ever put on film. But we know. We trust our process. We don't get scared and say, 'Oh, no, this film isn't working.' — John Lasseter
I don't want to fail, of course. But even though I didn't know how bad things really were, I still had a lot to think about before I said yes. I had to consider the implications for Pixar, for my family, for my reputation. I decided that I didn't really care, because this is what I want to do. If I try my best and fail, well, I've tried my best. — Steve Jobs
I think Pixar has the opportunity to be the next Disney - not replace Disney - but be the next Disney. — Steve Jobs
The thing that drives me and my colleagues at both Apple and Pixar is that you see something very compelling to you, and you don't quite know how to get to it, but you know, sometimes intuitively, it's within your grasp. And it's worth putting in years of your life to make it come into existence. — Steve Jobs
At Pixar, after every movie we have postmortum meetings where we discuss what worked and what didn't work. — John Lasseter
What makes Disney movies and Pixar movies always so good, hey take time and they're constantly honing, and tweaking, and rejiggering things, and taking influences from every cog, including myself, that can help. Any place where there can be inspiration. They make every moment very layered and very rich. — Sarah Silverman
Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you'll get a much better movie out of it. — Andrew Stanton
The way Pixar has always worked is that we think of an idea and then we make it. We don't develop lots of ideas and then pick one. — Andrew Stanton
At Pixar, I don't have to compromise at all. When I look at the finished "Toy Story 3," I don't sit and constantly think, oh, the actor was having a bad day, or oh, it rained and we couldn't use that set. The story that I wanted to tell is what is on screen, and I haven't had to compromise it one iota. — Lee Unkrich
Pixar is seen by a lot of folks as an overnight success, but if you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time. — Steve Jobs
Pixar is going in the direction of the early Disney. And it's also corporate, where they have four or five projects in the works. I don't want to get into that subject. — Joe Grant
Dr. Paul Ekman, who worked in San Francisco - still does - which is where Pixar Animation Studios is, he had early in his career identified six. That felt like a nice, manageable number of guys to design and write for. It was anger, fear, sadness, disgust, joy and surprise. — Pete Docter
I think it's the most extraordinary studio around. I would love to do my next project with Pixar. — Brad Bird
Pixar films are not realistic. They are believable for the worlds we are creating. — John Lasseter
We know screwups are an essential part of making something good. That's why our goal is to screw up as fast as possible. — Lee Unkrich
Most people know me at Pixar as the guy that doesn't like to do sequels or very reluctant to do sequels. — Andrew Stanton
I had never touched a computer in my life before I came to Pixar. — Andrew Stanton
If I knew in 1986 how much it was going to cost to keep Pixar going, I doubt if I would have bought the company. — Steve Jobs
Apple is a wonderful company for its customers and investors. So, too, Pixar. (NeXT, not so much...) But Apple is also an engine of misery for its subcontracted Chinese workers. — Eric Alterman
Actually, no, but I am close to the people who are working on Chicken Little, and I'm very close to the people over at Pixar. I mean, as far as stories are concerned, almost everything we have could be told that way. — Joe Grant
What I've learned from the Pixar guys is 'If you work for the love of what you're doing, it's always going to come out right.' Cause if you're working for a paycheck then it's not going to work in the long run; it's not going to feed your heart and soul. — John Ratzenberger
With the quality of films it seems animation can do almost anything these days. It’s amazing what goes on. But for us it’s always about trying to tell a good story, with great characters. And that will probably always be the philosophy as far as Disney and Pixar is concerned. — Klay Hall
I don't think that people think of Marvel in the same way that people think of Pixar. Because Pixar is story-orientated, and they think of these guys as epic movie orientated. But they're story-orientated. That's the secret. — Amy Pascal
I'm a big fan of the Pixar movies, and Ed Catmull, who wrote a book about his experiences producing them, talks about how it takes three or four years to get it right. — David Copperfield
If you deconstruct the movies that have done well, Pixar-type movies that do incredibly well and make hundreds of millions of dollars, they have a strain of decency and conservatism that maybe even their filmmakers don't even recognize. Yet, we cross our fingers that by mistake, liberal filmmakers and liberal producers are going to by mistake make conservative movies. We have to become invested in it, or else we have no excuse to complain. — Andrew Breitbart
After the song [for sausage Party] was finally done, we didn't have enough time, but we thought it would be fun. It also would've thrown it off a bit, because we really are doing more of an homage to Pixar, and if we filled it with songs, it would've felt more like Disney. And we had an experience, while we were making it, that going too Disney made it too weird. — Evan Goldberg
Pixar has outdone itself in visual magic and vivid storytelling. — Peter Travers
I feel kind of fortunate that over the last 25 years I've been in almost every Disney/Pixar film. — Bob Bergen
Well, we try to - we definitely try to have a balance. And I think things have gotten a lot better at Pixar. When we did "Toy Story," that was an all hands on deck situation that really was time intensive. — Pete Docter
A Mozart symphony is very much like a Pixar movie - in the sense that Pixar movies are hugely successful because they operate on several levels at the same time. — Eric Weiner
I felt a particular attachment, naturally, to the Superman character and really dug deep, but at the same time, I am a passionate fan, be it Star Wars, be it the entire Marvel catalog, be it the DC catalog, or the original thinking at Pixar. I'm a fan first, so I'm always curious to see the way people express themselves and how it's being done. — Joseph McGinty Nichol
Pixar has announced Larry the Cable Guy will be starring in Cars 3 thru 6. Howie Mandel will be playing his sidekick, Mopey the Moped. — Andy Kindler
The saddest day in Pixar history was when some guy said 'get Larry the Cable Guy on the phone. — Andy Kindler
It's hard dealing with day to day disappointments and feeling like you can't find success. Especially when your best friend is Pixar. — Dane Cook
