I've Got Disney Blood Running Through My

Never In The History Of Cinema Has A Medium Entertained An Audience. It's What You Do With The Medium.

A Good Part Of My Leadership Skills Is Crafted From Learning From Experiences Early In My Career That Were Not Positive Experiences.

You Have To Do Three Things Really Well To Make A Successful Film. You Have To Tell A Compelling Story That Has A Story That Is Unpredictable, That Keeps People On The Edge Of Their Seat Where They Can't Wait To See What Happens Next. You Then Populate That Story With Really Memorable And Appealing Characters. And Then, You Put That Story And Those Characters In A Believable World, Not Realistic But Believable For The Story That You're Telling.

Animation, For Me, Is A Wonderful Art Form. I Never Understood Why The Studios Wanted To Stop Making Animation. Maybe They Felt That The Audiences Around The World Only Wanted To Watch Computer Animation. I Didn't Understand That, Because I Don't Think Ever In The History Of Cinema Did The Medium Of A Film Make That Film Entertaining Or Not. What I've Always Felt Is, What Audiences Like To Watch Are Really Good Movies.

It [moviemaking] Is About Entertaining Audiences With Great Characters And Great Stories, You Want To Make People Laugh, You Want To Make People Cry, You Want To Have Great Music That Is Memorable. You Want A Movie That, As Soon As It's Over, You Want To Watch It Again, Just Like That. That's What It Is, Whether It's Live-action, Animation, Hand Drawn, Computer, Special Effects, Puppet Animation, It Doesn't Matter. That's The Goal Of A Filmmaker.
