Route 66 News points out that Jonathon Moran of Seven News in Australia, sat down and talked with John Lasseter, from Pixar, about Pixar’s newest, and most ambitious film to date, Cars.
“This movie is by far the most complex film we have ever made,” said Lasseter in Sydney.
“Really it is not about breaking records. Our films are driven by the needs of a story.”
Directed by Lasseter, the film tells the story of Lightning McQueen, a rookie race car that gets stuck in a small town on America’s Route 66 highway.
“When we got into these towns, we realised that a picture says a thousand words,” said Lasseter, a self-confessed “car geek”.
“A computer likes things perfect and perfectly clean. The more that you add details to make it look believable, all that stuff has to be put in by hand. You have to create it and that adds so much complexity to the world.”
