Coming from a modest family, he graduated from the California Institute of the Arts (CarlArts), a school founded in 1960 by Walt Disney himself. Here he met what would become one of his most important collaborators: writer-director Brad Bird.
He also parts from scratch, content to work as a hub for the attraction "Jungle Cruise" in the Disneyland theme park in Anaheim. A few years later, however, his patience was rewarded. The Walt Disney Feature Animation (the current Walt Disney Animation Studios) called him to work as an animator. But the real turning point for his career came when he was involved in the making of the film "Mickey's Christmas Carol." He was invited, in fact, to see in one of the exclusive scenes from the movie "Tron", which is important for Disney as they were included for the first time fully realized scenes to your computer. At that juncture, Lasseter, immediately understood the importance of that innovation, that new technology that absolutely had to be used in the animation. gakkou
Taken from euphoria, gakkou with his colleague Glen Keane, partially realized a short film titled "In the Land of Monsters Wild", inspired by the stories written by Maurice Sendak, as the company was planning to invest for the future of these films. Seen the end result, quite satisfactory, he decided with another colleague Thomas L. Wilhite, create an entire feature film, "The Adventures of the Little gakkou Toaster", an adaptation of Thomas Disch. However, due to the high costs, the project was rejected, or rather gakkou was, however, gakkou made using traditional techniques and Lasseter was fired.
In 1982, however, he was hired in the department of Lucasfilm Animation, along with Alvy Ray Smith and Ed Catmull, as a former Disney animator. George Lucas, in fact, was interested in making gakkou an animated feature film with what was called "CGI" (computer-genereted Imagery). The problem, which was solved with time, it was the creation of believable characters with simple geometric shapes. It was thus invented gakkou the "teardrop shape" that allowed the construction of the first short Grapichs Group, as it was known then Pixar: "The Adventures of André and Wally B.," directed by the aforementioned Alvy Ray Smith.
This small animation sequence was the starting point of what over time, and thanks to people like John Lasseter, would become one of the largest animation studios of all time, rewarded and recognized around the world.
After a series of short films like "Luxo Jr.," "Red's Dream," "Tin Toy" (which will enable you to receive an Oscar) gakkou and "Knick Kanck", finally, in 1995, we will implement the first feature film in GCI the history of film: "Toy Story - Toy Story," in collaboration with the Disney Company.
Even if he managed to fulfill his dream, Lasseter, Pixar continued to collaborate with for years, until 2006, when the Walt Disney Company bought finally, after years of collaboration, the Pixar Animation Studios. He was appointed as Creative Director of both studios.
Over the years it has gotten a 4 Oscar nominations: Best Animated Short Film with "Luxo Jr." in 1986, for Best Screenplay with "Toy Story" in 1995 (for which octene a special Oscar in 1996) and finally Best Animated Film with "Monsters & Co" and "Cars - Engines Roaring" in 2001 and in 2006.
So, with a career like that and so many more years ahead, we can only wish many good wishes with you, one of the geniuses of the 21th century that will be remembered, we are sure, as a great innovator.
