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.
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.
pixar yeah stills
Oh yeah, I'm still employed at Pixar and I love it here.
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.
moving hands feelings
Even in hand drawn animation, humans are widely considered to be the most difficult to execute, because everybody has a feeling for how they move.
sleep kids wife
I have three kids and a wife, and any moments that aren't dedicated to working on this film in some way, or family, are immediately reserved for sleep.
hero firefighter television
I got my heroes secondhand, from television and movies, to a certain extent.
team struggle together
When you assemble animation teams the way you do a live-action film, you're often struggling a bit to get a cohesive team together, so if you have a team that works well together, you're hoping for another film so that you can refine the team.
book comic bigs
I was not a big comic-book reader.
interesting people come-up
If there are similarities, it's simply because the same thoughts that occurred to other people also occurred to me. I'd be astonished if anyone could come up with any truly original powers that were at all interesting any more.
