A wonderful article over at Variety (by Peter Debruge) in conversation with John Lasseter on Pixar’s incredible 10 span feature film winning streak. ”It’s safe to fail.” says Lasseter who then goes on to explain in the article that the trick is to make those mistakes as quickly as possible and move on.
