Disney's John Lasseter creating Oscar magic

A great Q & A for Reuters UK talking to Disney’s Pixar Animation Studios head John Lasseter.  They talk about his successes and even go into some of his future projects.

Disney’s Pixar Animation Studios head into the next week’s Oscars with the only movie ever nominated for both best film and best animated film, “Up,” about an old man and boy on an adventure in a faraway land.

Since its release last spring, “Up” has sold more than $725 million worth of tickets worldwide. It follows a string of successes that include “The Incredibles” and “Cars.”


Disney/Pixar chief creative officer John Lasseter, a major star in the world of animation, spoke to Reuters about “Up” and the company’s moviemaking philosophy, including another Disney Oscar hopeful, “The Princess and the Frog.”

Here are some the questions Reuters Asked:
