A Day In The Life of John Lasseter

[@johnwhitfield5376]

HE NEVER NEVER GREW UP........ THAT IS THE MAGIC OF HAVING HIS WONDERFUL LIFE..... REMAIN A KID AT HEART....

[@xTwilightWolvesx]

+knight2battle It's called remaining young. While everyone else grows old and withers away, someone who is a child at heart will always stay young.

[@knight2battle]

xTwilightWolvesx It is biologically impossible... maybe young spirit in an abstract sense, maybe in self denial. Many people fantasize about being innocent, i know that sort of people, hoping they would never experience losing a loved one or any sort of adultery, hidden away in a soft bed locked away from all the bad things and remain ignorant in a cage to indulge in a world of bliss... to me, its a sickening unrealistic psychotic like personification of ignorance... well thats my take...

I used to idolize him, but I feel like he and Pixar/Disney has gotten too comfortable with their status. I look back at older works and see alot of great things, but when I watch one of their newer stuff I just see that "formula" done over and over again. I hope to get into the animation world and bring something new, I think alot of people can agree that something is lacking in today's animated movies.

John really is the 21st century version of Walt Disney. It's not just the results on film that I'm talking about, either. It's the same passion and attitude in every part of his life that makes it clear he's a similar kind of genius. It's fitting that he eventually got to take control of all of Disney's animation. There's no better choice out there.

What comes to mind. I know for a fact that John Lasseter does drive he has a license but seriously given the opportunity you'll probably want someone to drive you. It's inspiring I mean for years from the 80s and 90s he has worked from the ground up to help revolutionize the animation industry and what we're seeing is what he's been rewarded with for his hard work. And as for cars 2 personally I really liked it, in animation sometimes you just want to create something that is just fun and funny.

Looking back, knowing how much terror he put women through, enough that Disney silenced those workers, and the public might not ever hear their stories... Watching John walk through his tacky shirt closet and show off his horrifying office filled with tributes to childhood... Watching him pull faces, make jokes and pal around... Who was he hurting then? Who's thigh was he grabbing under the table? Who blamed themselves for "wearing those jeans"? Who confided in a co-worker, only to be thrown under the bus later? Who felt like their livelihood was threatened, that they'd never be believed because of how huge and mythological the media made this man out to be? I would rather watch a 25 minute documentary about these women.

Awesome man! Awesome insight!

[@SirIkeMedia]

I'm a huge fan of Pixar, but am I the one who thinks Pixar isn't doing so well? Cars 2 ruined their reputation, Brave was lackluster, and Monsters University was one huge plothole. They need to focus more on their stories and character development. I must say out of their last 3 films, Brave was the one that disappointed me the most. I had very high expectations for it. It had so much potential, and I really wanted it to be my new favorite Pixar movie. I have to say, Up was the last Pixar movie I truly enjoyed. Toy Story 3 was alright, but not as good as the second one at all. I really care about Pixar, and I'm worried for them. I have heard some things from former and current employees saying that the company is losing its touch in many ways... I might make a video talking about that topic in detail... but Pixar really needs to get it together.

[@lewiscranston881]

Inside Out brought them back on track. Hopefully Finding Dory will be good too.

[@SirIkeMedia]

The Good Dinosaur was another let down for me. The film looked stunning and beautiful, but the story and characters were weak. I'm not feeling the trailers of Finding Dory. I'll see the move because of Ellen, but the movie seems very childlike and tame and seems to lack the heart and adventure of Finding Nemo.
