I think it's the most extraordinary studio around. I would love to do my next project with Pixar.
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.
I'll watch a Pixar movie over and over and over again. I'll be with friends of mine who have kids, that want to watch 'Finding Nemo,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, okay, let's watch 'Nemo' again, for the seven billionth time!,' because they're amazing movies.
One of Pixar's key mechanisms is the Braintrust, which we rely on to push us toward excellence and to root out mediocrity. It is our primary delivery system for straight talk.
We work very hard in all of the Pixar films to not make anything in the imagery that causes people to think of something other than the story.
Out of the blue, I received this offer and invitation to be a part of this movie, 'The Good Dinosaur.' I turned to my Pixar experts, my kids, and asked them what this could all be about. Of course, they flipped out, and it was pretty obvious from their reaction that I was going to do this.
All Pixar movies are heartbreaking, aren't they?
I love all the Pixar movies, and I like 'Happy Feet Two.' 'Cause it has a lot of babies.
The world does not want to see a Pixar film that's not great.
