  • Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

  • What I'm curious about is how were you able to tap into the human mind and create emotional connections

  • with audiences through these animations?

  • How was this studied and executed for the last 30 years at such a high level?

  • Well, I will say that for the first movie,

  • it 's one of those things where there is some luck in that group that first came in.

  • We had always, in the history of both at New York Tech and then at Lucasfilm and then at Pixar,

  • was to say we really want to hire the very best.

  • And so I would say, well, we want to hire people who are smarter than I am.

  • And I know other people say that, but because, like, what does that even mean?

  • But it means that you do n't want to be threatened by the people that you hire,

  • and they just have to have these extraordinary skills.

  • When we were building out our technical group.

  • They were just really good.

  • I mean, they had passed me in terms of their understanding of all the technology.

  • And John understood that too.

  • So when he did his first hires, the first person he hired was Andrew Stanton.

  • And then the second was Pete Docter.

  • And then Joe Ranf came in and then we brought in. Really to be an editor,

  • except he turns out to have been, like one of the best storytellers ever is Lee Unkrich.
