Part 2<\/a><\/div>\nJohn answers questions such as, “Why did you choose animation?”, “How do you research these films?” and “Is it true that the Hudson car that inspired Doc Hudson in Cars is based on a car somewhere in Sonoma County?”.<\/p>\n
John also talks about the academy awards, Toy Story<\/i> and also answers questions from callers.<\/p>\n
It’s a really good interview so be sure to check it out.<\/p>\n
P.S. John said in the interview that…well i’ll let him say it…<\/p>\nThe Academy has worked with this great group called Magnolia Pictures and they are taking all of the live action and animated short films and they are releasing them in theaters before the Academy awards. Here in the Bay Area, on February 16th, they\u2019re showing all of the nominated live action and animated films in a theater that anybody can go see them. They\u2019re going to show in Berkeley at the Shattuck Cinema, San Francisco at the Lumiere Theater, San Rafael at the Smith\u2019s Rafael Film Center, and Santa Rosa at the Rialto Cinemas. It\u2019s so exciting. I tell you that this is a great collection of short films this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/span> So if you want to see Gary Rydstrom’s short film, Lifted<\/i>, this is your chance!<\/p>\n
Thanks to Patrick for this!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
