When I Look At The Success I

I Have This Saying. Quality Is The Best Business Plan. I Believe So Strongly In That.

The Spirit Of Route 66 Is In The Details: Every Scratch On A Fender, Every Curl Of Paint On A Weathered Billboard, Every Blade Of Grass Growing Up Through A Cracked Street.

I Think The Painted Backgrounds In Animations Are Absolutely Stunningly Beautiful. There's Something Really Special About This Medium. I Don't Believe Audiences Have Grown Past It. I Think What Audiences Love Is To Be Entertained-thoroughly, Deeply Entertained, And That's What I've Always Set Out To Do.

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.

I Think That The Entertainment Industry And The Entertainment Press Tends To Focus On Opening Weekend Box Office As A Measure Of The Success Of A Film And I Think The True Success Is Out There In People's Homes And How Much They Absolutely Love These Characters.
