One thing that’s a blessing at Pixar is that ever since Toy Story, we’ve made the films we wanted to make. When making Toy Story, we first started out by trying to please all these executives at Disney, and it failed. And in this last-ditch effort for fear of having the film shut down, we sort of locked ourselves in our room and just made what we would want to see. And that became the Toy Story that everybody knows. So we’ve decided ever since then to just listen to the audience member in ourselves, and not worry about the demographics. I’m a family man, I have kids, and I go to the movies. And I’m just going to make the kind of movie I want to see. And if it doesn’t match perfectly for somebody else, so be it, but at least it’s an artist being pure with their vision.
