Today is John Lasseter’s 60th Birthday. We at Upcoming Pixar wish him the absolute best. Without John, the animation industry that we know and love today would not be the same. Thanks to John, we’re better storytellers, appreciate the art of animation just a wee bit more, and wake up inspired every day.

Nia Alavezos is a storyteller based in Cardiff, Wales. She recently made the great pilgrimage across the pond from sunny Los Angeles to pursue her dreams of living abroad. With over 6 years of animation experience (from working in the trenches on The Tom and Jerry Show at Renegade Animation to The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants at DreamWorks) she hopes to provide a unique commentary to Pixar's films, culture, and animation.
