became great run telling ways
Every generation has a different ways of telling a story. We had a great run in the early '90s, into the mid-'90s, and we became a little more executive-driven as we got into the 2000s.
arc best telling
When you're telling a story, the best stories, every character has an arc. Every one. And that arc is usually about finding yourself, or about at least finding something about yourself that you didn't know.
fine sequels
I think sequels are fine if there's a story, so I think when there is a property that is worthy of a sequel, it could very well happen!
certain develop fresh love
You have to fall in love with the production, and then there's a certain mind-set that you develop where it does stay fresh in your mind.
My first project was 'Hunchback of Notre Dame'. I co-produced that.
history
When I was a kid, I loved history because history to me was a big story.
audience certain feels hopefully inhabit
We are Disney, in a sense. When you've been there for 20 years, there's a certain heart and soul to one of those films, and you inhabit that to a certain degree. So if it feels true to you, then your audience will hopefully go for it.
time
I think that one of the things you have to do to become a storyteller is spend a lot of time reading stories.
Our biggest challenge is always story. The story is the ultimate thing you try to tackle.
aware becomes creature experience gullible hero himself learning love naive robot
What I love about 'Big Hero 6', with Baymax himself - this sentient creature who's actually a learning robot - with each experience, this naive and gullible creature becomes more aware of issues.
amazing art dave designers directors good paul pick production several worked
I have worked with several art directors and production designers who are just magnificent. Dave Getz, Paul Felix, Ian Gooding... just amazing artists, and I would say, if I had anything to do with it, I just pick good artists!
mind
The mind is the greatest weapon in the world.
crew fix money particular remember scene telling time watch worked
I remember telling the 'Tangled' crew about grimace moments: how when you watch a movie that you worked on and you think, 'Ah, I wish we could have done that scene better,' or, 'I wish that we'd had the time or the money to fix that particular story problem.'
I honestly thought that 'Tangled' was going to be my Disney legacy.
