As teenagers my brother and I had only one cassette tape with our father's voice on it. All he said on the tape was "Hi" & "Goodbye". But it was still magical.

Thank you to everyone that saw Onward this weekend! I can’t tell you how much I loved reading your positive reactions & deeply movie personal connections to the story. I can’t wait to share them with the crew at Pixar that worked so hard to bring this story to life.

The reason Dad's socks are purple is because I knew the sky was going to turn purple when the sun went down so we wanted to set up purple as Dad's color for this ending.

I was so happy that
@TomHolland1996
brought sincerity to Ian. Ian was originally more sarcastic.
@prattprattpratt
brought humor to Barley but made sure he was not just a goofball all the time. Chris made sure Barley always felt he was doing the right thing.

Saturday night I showed my big brother a movie that I, and the greatest filmmakers I know, spent 6 years making about he and I’s family. I only hope others see their families in this story too.

The pixar artist looked at several Jello molds with different levels of milk poured into them to get the right opaque quality for the Gelatinous Cube. They also took lots of close up photos of cheese puffs. Stay in school kids!

Originally neither boy met Dad. The point was that you can't meet someone you lost, but you can appreciate & love the people that are still with you.But quickly we came up with the idea that Ian would sacrifice for Barley,the way Barley sacrificed Guinevere for Ian.

After twenty-five incredible years, I’ve decided to leave Pixar.

One of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received was the release of Monsters University on my birthday 10 years today. I’m still so proud of the film and everyone that worked on it. I can’t believe Pixar let an 11 year-old direct a movie.

25 years ago I left a Lions game with a male family member who asked what I was doing tonight. I said I was seeing a new animated movie. He laughed saying,”it’s funny that a 19 year-old MAN would want to do that”. The movie was Toy Story. I love him but F - that.

I'm lucky to work for a company I've been a fan of since I saw their 1st short as a teen, so I might be biased, but this week they're releasing a film I think is truly special. If you have a family, if you've lost someone you love, you might want to check it out.

Barley being little, means Ian gets a taste of being the big brother for a change. It's not as easy as it looks.

Everything’s perfect. 🍅 Ciao Alberto is out TODAY! Grazie mille to the endlessly wonderful crew who helped bring this story to life; I’m so proud and happy, and very grateful, and hope you all enjoy our little love letter to a sea monster I adore!

I think the words to this song by Brandi Carlile really end the movie. It's about the people that supported us more than they had to and most importantly, now it's on us to return that favor to them. Hope you all had fun! Thx for watching with me!

We treated Guinevere as a character, not a prop. It was important that she have a personality so that when she rides her last ride, we really feel the sacrifice Barley made.
