"The Director of 'Toy Story'" is a pretty understated way to refer to John Lasseter [0], who effectively headed up all the Pixar projects (on the creative side) from the beginning of the company, and directed 5 of their films.

- dang 3y agoOk, we've put John Lasseter up there now.
- Razengan 3y agoI knew him through his introduction to the English version of Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away :)
- Findecanor 3y agoHe had won his first Oscar for the animated short Tin Toy in 1989, and had been nominated for Luxo Jr. a couple years prior. I first read about him and Pixar in an article about that those in a electronics magazine back then. What I read about had a profound impact on me, making me want to learn how to program computer graphics.
