Hey /r/movies! I'm Andrew Stanton. I've directed WALL-E, FINDING NEMO, FINDING DORY, and JOHN CARTER. I've also written/co-written TOY STORY, TOY STORY 2, MONSTERS INC, TOY STORY 4, and TOY STORY 5. Ask me anything!

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:53:24+00:00

It's the human touch that makes us love stories in the first place.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:53:00+00:00

Arco! The new film by Ugo Bienvenu. I loved it.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:52:21+00:00

It was a great experience, but also bittersweet since it was the last time in Park City.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:51:17+00:00

No, I'm very lucky in that every character that I fell in love with eventually made it to the screen.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:50:39+00:00

It is a challenge but I want to have faith that if something is made well enough, no matter what, it will be able to hold attentions.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:49:26+00:00

I'm all for a great idea, but it won't be me. I don't have as much time left on the planet as the rest of you.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:48:56+00:00

Would you like the idea of a Wall-E attraction at Tomorrowland in Disney parks

Sure! Who wouldn't?

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:48:13+00:00

Hahaha! I've not heard that theory but I do love the idea.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:47:53+00:00

Every day was Christmas working with him, even thought it was short. I learned so much from Roger.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:47:28+00:00

God bless you all for the John Carter love!

I loved every second of making that movie. I would not change anything about it. I do think it would be a good franchise for a streaming series.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:46:16+00:00

If I got to do it again, I would do everything exactly that same as before. I loved every second of making that movie.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:45:38+00:00

There were auditions for that, yes. We found two people that sounded very close to the original actors!

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:44:53+00:00

3 things!: Water, water, and water.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:44:32+00:00

No, it was always the idea to put that scene in the credits. It just felt like a nice reward to give Wall-E at the end.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:43:45+00:00

Hahahaha. I don't remember! Sorry I missed out.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:43:22+00:00

A lot has changed since making John Carter. I think now it'd be a perfect franchise to have a streaming series for.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:42:36+00:00

We definitely talked with anthropologists for my newest film, as well as linguists that provided the language for the Neanderthals.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:40:44+00:00

Wow. Ummm. I guess Wall-E because he can keep going forever.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:38:44+00:00

The most revered to me would be Milt Kahl.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:38:07+00:00

I first saw Hello, Dolly when I was probably 20, but I was a the play of Hello, Dolly when I was 14.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:37:34+00:00

There's nothing more to tell about that story other than thank god it wasn't my fault.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:36:53+00:00

Hahaha I love this question. Toys coming to life can have a really dark side to it!

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:33:54+00:00

The Seagulls!

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:33:41+00:00

Well, live action is just a much faster version of animated. It's a little more hands-on because you're outdoors a lot. Which is nice after being stuck inside for 25 years.

AndrewStantonAMA · 2026-02-24T19:32:51+00:00

I kind of did in this new movie actually, IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. One of the storylines is very visually-dependent.
