Tell me this excerpt below from an article about John Lasseter in Entertainment Weekly doesn't get you psyched:

"For Incredibles director Brad Bird, now overseeing Ratatouille, a big upside to a deeper Disney-Pixar marriage is the stronger connection he expects Lasseter to forge between Disney animation and the Disney parks - something Walt Disney pioneered. "The press likes to say that Pixar is about to 'change the Disney paradigm.'" says Bird. "But to me, what we're doing is going back to the REAL Disney paradigm. The original Disneyland was designed by people who worked on Walt's animated features. They got working on the rides and brought storytelling into attractions. That's what seperated Disney's park from everyone else's.

Every time Lasseter visited the Imagineering crew over the years, Bird got the sense he'd found ahome base. "He'd bounce from room to room like an excited child. And he'd make them excited about what they were doing, too. John loves this stuff down to the marrow of his bones."
