Personal Quote:

[on Hayao Miyazaki] Miyazaki is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time and he has been a tremendous inspiration to generations of animators at Pixar, when we have a problem and we can't seem to solve it, we often look at one of his films in our screening room. Toy Story (1995) owes a huge debt of gratitude to the films of Mr. Miyazaki. See more »

Trivia:

His influences include Frank Capra, Preston Sturges, Walt Disney and Chuck Jones. See more »
