I wonder what can actually be involved in the short though apart from Mater and the
ghostlight.
Ohh…I could think of a few things… 
I’m sure that the Pixar
animators will surprise us with this short.
Don’t matter how long, PIXAR will make this a great
Short nonetheless!!
Got that right, but I
wonder when the will deliver a dud. One day, it has to happen.
That’s like saying "It maybe sunny today, but one day, the Sun will
explode, taking us with it." Don’t worry about the future too much. That gets depressing. Try to live for
the now.
Anyway, you never know- Pixar might be able to keep up their track record indefinitely!

Took the words right out of my mouth, RMS.
Sounds reminiscent of E - "I never look back darling, it distracts from the
now."
The only exception is that we alway look back - I don’t know how many times I’ve rewatched a
PIXAR Short or film!
Yeah, must be optimistic, but I always say look at Disney, they used to be like Pixar in the early half of
the 20th century then they just started to churn out junk
Yeah i’m a little afraid of that
happening. I’ve only seen one total Disney movie since 1999. Sometimes I think you know, what if what happened
at Disney happens at Pixar? God, i hope not!
Yeah
exactly my point, I just wonder what how long this huge box office success can keep.
It won’t. These are animators we’re talking about.
How does being an animator prevent
that? 
~~=oP
Haha – believe me,
I know! After living with my dad for…well…for forever, you get to learn a few things. Animators
are…different from the outside world. Most of them – at least the ones who take an optimistic view of life and
films – care only about story…and having fun forming it. They really get into their characters, tending to
insert a joke into their work whenever they have the chance to do so. It’s fun living around an animator.
I understand that.
But what I’m asking is, how does being an animator at Pixar prevent the
company from going under? Aren’t there animators at Disney also?
And I’m pretty sure that Pixar
doesn’t rely completely on the work done by the animators for their success. What about the
writers?
~~=oP
It ultimately depends on how much freedom the execs
give the animators and others working on the film. Which doesn’t concern me with Jobs, Catmull, Iger, Lasseter,
et al at the helm. 
Yes, there you go.
Thanks for answering
PixarVixen’s question for me, Dash.
Yeah, those guys are really lose non exec guys.
Well
that gives me a bit more confidence. I guess I’m just a bit paranoid.
