QuikQuote: The hallmark of Lasseter’s reign at Pixar has been great storytelling and characters and a sense of humor we might call “Pixarian.” Whether a particular film is rendered in computer graphics, hand-drawn cels or conventional live action, it’s all about story and character.
Lasseter understands this. The entire Pixar model is predicated on getting the story and characters right, and the visuals will follow naturally.
Lasseter (a former Disney animator) also understands the astoundingly rich heritage of Disney characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. I cannot imagine that he’ll allow them to lie fallow.
