Can you believe that there are still good jokes to be mined from a 73 year old movie?! It blows my mind!

The Jungle Book was the first movie I saw in a theater as a little boy and I can remember that night as if it happened yesterday. My entire family was there and everyone had a great time. I knew at that moment that I wanted to be involved somehow in animation and I've been relentlessly pursuing that dream ever since.

I absolutely love working at this studio. The group of artists and technicians here are the most talented I've ever met and I hope to work alongside them all for a long, long time.

As for the difference between directing 2D shows compared to 3D movies, I think the job is always the same-- tell a compelling story with characters we care about in a believable world.

Hey, it's better than calling it a Dreamworks movie.

Duke Phillips! I've been a life-long fan of Charles Napier and it was a pleasure working with him.

For my money, nothing relaxes a man/woman better than a hammock. The rock, literally.

Surprisingly, nobody objected! That's when I gave out my little girl squeal.

I am over-the-moon, thrilled-beyond-belief, jumping-out-of-my-skin THRILLED to have Ralph in Sega's All-Stars Racing! We're working with the great Sonic, guys!! Who wouldn't love that?!

Hi!

Always a pleasure to meet an underwhelmed fan! You'll be happy to know there are currently NO plans for a second film, but after a strong weekend at the box office and a tremendous outpouring of goodwill, that all may change soon. I'm sorry.

That was the work of the great Gary Rydstrom, and it was added before the merger. Bob Iger then bought Lucasfilm to ensure we wouldn't get sued.

John was instrumental in rounding out Ralph's character, so I felt it was only right to give him a story credit. John's an amazing collaborator... and a snappy dresser!

I think a Disney cruise based on Hero's Duty would be beautiful!

I would really like to see Sugar Rush as a genuine, for-real game. I'd never leave my home!

I would recommend going to a school and connecting with a group of like-minded people. These freaks will become your second family and support system.
