    Lasseter has some great insights into the way he sees his work, and how I imagine he has tried to instill this in his team at Pixar. From my perspective it is refreshing to see a different approach, as opposed to it being all about the bottom dollar. I really would love to see this kind of vision shared with all artist. Not easy to find this kind of work environment, and very difficult to foster. But one I think that is sooo much more productive for creatives! Follow the link and have a read!
