AFAIK Lasseter wasn't that senior when Disney fired him.

  > John Lasseter was fired from Disney because he was too enthusiastic about cutting edge digital animation It's possible that Lasseter was the animation equivalent of the programmer who has a job in a web design firm that traditionally does everything in Rails (or .NET or Django or whatever) and constantly says "let's use Haskell!!" when they're just building CRUD apps for clients. The "works well with others" thing is important even for junior folks.
