5 Creative SECRETS JOHN LASSETER Uses to Make Every PIXAR Movie a HIT!

✎ John Lasseter shares the creative wisdom and relentless passion that built Pixar into a storytelling powerhouse. In this video, he dives deep into his journey—from the moment he realized his characters belonged to the audience, to pushing the boundaries of animation by embracing risk and innovation. He believes that true creativity requires failing fast, studying both great and bad films, and never letting fear of the unknown stop you from breaking new ground. His story is a testament to how embracing change and constantly learning can lead to groundbreaking success.

Lasseter also emphasizes the importance of storytelling over technology. While Pixar is at the forefront of digital animation, he argues that audiences don’t fall in love with technology—they fall in love with characters and great stories. He shares how his belief in computer animation at Disney was initially dismissed, leading to his firing. But instead of giving up, he partnered with visionaries like Ed Catmull and Steve Jobs, who saw the same future he did. That belief led to the creation of Pixar and the release of Toy Story, the world’s first fully computer-animated feature film.

Whether you’re an animator, entrepreneur, or just someone chasing a dream, this video is packed with powerful lessons on persistence, innovation, and quality. Lasseter’s approach to leadership—where the best ideas win, no matter where they come from—fosters an environment where creativity thrives. If you’ve ever doubted your vision because others couldn’t see it, let his story remin

Drew out a rough sketch of a scene in a story I've been working on for years, while listening to this video.
Encouraging to hear the length of time it takes to have real Pro's do such work, (much less a solo artist).

These rules are always so inspiring with their realism and optimism. I can't wait for the next one Evan. Is there a possibility of doing a top ten for Hayao Miyazaki?
