If You Can Think About

Directing Is One Of My Favourite Things To Do Because I Love Telling Stories And I Love Working With The Individual Artists And It's Something That I Really Missed.

There Is Such Amazing Talent At Disney. My Job Is 100% Creative, And I Am Very Excited To Creatively Lead Them.

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.

If You're Sitting In Your Minivan, Playing Your Computer Animated Films For Your Children In The Back Seat, Is It The Animation That's Entertaining You As You Drive And Listen? No, It's The Storytelling. That's Why We Put So Much Importance On Story. No Amount Of Great Animation Will Save A Bad Story.

Walt Disney Had Always Tried To Get More Dimension In His Animation And When I Saw These Tapes, I Thought, This Is It! This Is What Walt Was Waiting For! But When I Looked Around, Nobody At The Studio At The Time Was Even Halfway Interested In It.
