I took out the bit that said Lasseter was working with Eisner to remove all the great talent at Disney. Seriously, where the hell did that come from? - Little Leota 23:40, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Lasseter (I.E. The new chief creative officer of the combined Pixar / Disney operation) and Ed Catmull (I.E. President of this new mega animation operation) met with middle managers in the Sorcerer Mickey building last Wednesday and basically told these folks: "If you don't draw for a living, then you really don't belong in this building."

Personally, as a fan of animation, I love that.

Who put up the names of his kids? I think that prehaps he or she should take it down because I don't know if John Lasseter would like it is he saw the names of his kids. - Halibut Thyme, 06:25am, 19 September 2006.

[edit] Chris Sanders

I removed the line about Sanders being removed as director of American Dog. For one, last I checked, the studio had never confirmed this. Second, it was POV and had no place in that part of the article. If this news is confirmed, then it may be worth adding back in, so long as it is kept in context. Really, though, I see no reason to comment on Lasseter's every business decision. --DMAJohnson 01:11, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Esp since the original post referenced Sanders leaving Disney, which I do not believe has been confirmed. Jprismon 07:04, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lasseter pistol and Firefly?

Is it encyclopedic to mention this bit of trivia in the article? --NeuronExMachina 09:23, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

In the episode "Trash", the prized item is a Lasseter laser pistol, which shares its name with John Lasseter, Joss Whedon's co-writer on Toy Story (1995).
