1. Pete Docter:

   I think the secret source to animation, like anything, is truth, so even though we are taking people to these far out places and showing them characters that you'd never believe are alive -- cars, bugs, Monsters Inc. -- we are seeing something of ourselves on screen.

2. Dimitrios Tsalkanis:

   This whole situation had troubled me a lot before proceeding into the creation of this video, but a monument's impact on society is always interesting to investigate, both at the time when it was built and also at the time it is being 'rediscovered.'

If Disney Animation can get Disney Animation Marvel series slate right, those customers should be willing to pay a lot more for Disney Animation + in the coming years, marvel Studios is the most successful entertainment franchise in history.

5. Melissa Cobb:

   I grew up reading Dahl stories and lived large parts of my young life in those magical worlds, so finding just the right creative partner to bring Willy Wonka, Charlie and the Oompa-Loompas to life in animation was a daunting task... until Taika Waititi walked into the room, then it was really obvious. If Dahl had created a character of a filmmaker to adapt his work, I'm pretty sure he would have created Taika Waititi.
