Talk:John Lasseter/@comment-32248383-20180609042923

Well, it is officially announced that John Lasseter is leaving Disney for good after becoming a creative consultant for the remainder of 2018. I got to say that I am sad and disappointed by this news, but at the same time not at all surprised. But despite the missteps he reportedly made, my personal opinion on him being a great creative influence and innovator for both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios still stands as is and I will always reflect back on his career with great pride and enthusiasm. So, I do like to congradulate him and thank him for pushing the boundaries of animation from the founding of Pixar, to the creation of Toy Story (the world's first full-length computer-animated film), and to the reshaping of the Disney animation studio at a time when it was facing a both financial and creative crisis. With that being said, I do wish John all the best of luck at whatever he does with the rest of his life after Disney. Thank you, John Lasseter, for all the magical times you brought to the Walt Disney Company!
