John Lasseter Computer Quotations

Computers don't create computer animation any more than a pencil creates pencil animation. What creates computer animation is the artist.

Pixar has invented much of computer animation as it's known today, and I've been very lucky to be the first traditional animator to work with computer animation.

When I started work with LucasArts Computer Division back in 1984, I went to the Palace of Fine Arts and saw the Festival of Animation for the first time. I loved the diverse collection of animated films the festival held.

I've always been thinking in three dimensions, ever since I started working with computer animation in the early '80s.

To take full advantage of computer animation, you have to pay as much attention to the believable as you do the unbelievable.
