QUESTION: As soon as it landed in Disney decided to change the name of the study.
ANSWER: Yes, from Disney Feature Animation Walt Disney Animation Studios returned to be called, like when Walt made its films. I have even recovered the Mickey Mouse that was used like symbol in letters of Walt Disney.
P: It is a way to remember to the world the roots of the study?
R: Without a doubt it is my tribute, but Walt Disney not only is the name of the study but of each film that is realised and we have the enormous responsibility to do well our work under that mark.
P: It is making many changes in Disney?
R: I only want that Disney finds its place within the accomplishment of films. Before it was directed by executives, now we are artists with ideas that we move beyond marketing and of the toys.
P: How it is able to maintain the enthusiasm in a project after spending several years working in the same history, as it is the case of Toy Story?
R: The certain thing is that we do not see it thus. The animation is means where the film is constructed from the foundations, is like making a car of races from the anything. Since to make an Earth hole to find iron and to construct there from a motor. One does not know how it is going away to see the film until practically it is finished. But most fascinating it is than every day we discovered something new, something that inspires to you, that to you maintains deluded the process throughout.
P: Who have been the entertainers who have influenced to him more?
R: The number one has been Chuck Jones and also I liked of Disney Johnny Quest, adored to him. Of most recent I like Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki, who did ´My Neighbor Totoro´. That is the film more well-known hers, but its best one films is probably ´Laputa, castle in the sky´, an absolutely incredible work. In addition he is friend mine, I knew him in Japan during the promotion of Toy Story.
P: What has been its message when landing in Disney Animation?
R: I have said something to them that I repeated when I arrived the day that Disney I buy Pixar and they appointed Head me of Animation: that one of the things that I want to do in Disney it is to roll films of which we feel like proud the rest of our life. It is a very hard work. I am a firm believer of the leaders and believe that it is important that there is one within a group of creative because that creates more dynamism, challenge an a others and the result is far better. I want to be sure that all the equipment feels satisfied and for it is important that all are proud than they are doing. One is not to dictate the work to them, but to put the bases so that they secure to the success offering them all the possibilities and tools available. The animation is the art where it is more collaborated in group and to fascinate to me to inspire thanks to the ideas or the work of my collaborator and the people to me who surround to me because one never knows where they are going to arise the good ideas.
P: It feels that he is the new Walt Disney?
R: It is so difficult to be John Lasseter that I do not want nor to think about being another person.
P: He would say that you as much by the animation have done as at the time Walt Disney did?
R: Nonfodder in those terms. it enchants to me to entertain the public, for that reason I do what I do. We make the films that we want to go to see in Disney and Pixar because he enchants to me to go to the cinema and to share the experience with the public. My to arrive at Disney Studios it is very important, he wanted to less turn this place plus a center of animation and in a study, giving priority to the entertainers and the scriptwriters on the executives. Somehow the course was had lost because the decisions were too political. We what we want are to make a good film where the directors are in charge of films.
From small
P: The personages analyze themselves until the fatigue under their orders.
R: We are constantly analyzing the personages in many different levels, through history, of the development, in the structure of the three acts, in the arc of the personages, and thus in everything. We work during months in the personages, imagining who are and how they adapt to history, as they interlace themselves to each other, at the same time as we examined its process. It is a complicated but very interesting work.
P: Of the cinema directors who are those that it likes more John Lasseter?
R: Frank Capra has had a great influence in my work, a director who put all the heart in his films. He is to that I admire more, although also I like Preston Sturges by his fast comedy and Howard Hawks and his film ´His Girl Friday´, that is one of my favorites. Of the directors of now without a doubt I remain with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
P: When John Lasseter decided to dedicate itself to the animation?
R: I was interested of small seeing cartoons. It used to raise Saturdays in the morning to see the drawings to me until it appeared golf or rugby and cut the program. In addition, he was addict to the films of Disney. A day I found in the library of the school a copy of the book of Bob Thomas on the art of the animation, I took it to me I read, it and I learned since the drawings became. Then I thought, this is what I want to do. At that moment I realized which quera to be entertainer.
